Lisa Recnik
Leiterin Pint of Science Austria
Ich habe Pint of Science in England und Frankreich kennengelernt und konnte nicht umhin, diese Idee bei meiner Rückkehr mit mir mitzunehmen! Was ich mag: mehrsprachige Gespräche, Berge besteigen und Bücher für mein Bücherregal aussuchen - und natürlich #pint23 :)

It is my goal to lead scientific facts (earth is round, vaccinate your kids) out to everyone, since flat earth society rejected me. PhD student by day & painting science street art by night, I'm guilty of trying to make scicomm great again. PS: some rejections are fictional but science is real

Materials scientist on weekdays, language nerd on weekends. I am currently working on finding new applications for recycled plastic and I believe good #SciComm is the best way to counter pseudoscience.
Heloisa Chiossi
Event Manager - Unser wundervoller Verstand
Simple words like "memory" can be hard to explain in scientific terms. So for me it is exciting to research where and how we store information in our brains as we learn new things. I am at Pint of Science to help share ideas on this and other mysteries of science.
Jaime Saez
Event Manager - English Events
Did you ever wonder how the world behaves at the atomic scale? Fascinated by quantum physics, I started a PhD studying the properties of electrons but science communication also attracted me. Why? Because science is great, but it becomes better when you share it in a bar.
Jakob Andersson

Ich arbeite als Postdoc im Bereich der Biophysik und untersuche den Geruchssinn von Insekten mit dem Ziel, umweltfreundliche Pflanzenschutzmittel zu entwickeln. Ich habe Pint of Science durch mein Studium in Australien kennengelernt und freue mich sehr, in Wien dabei zu sein.
Julia Braunstein
Event Manager - Unser wundervoller Verstand
Ich bin PhD Studentin und beschäftige mich damit, zu untersuchen, welche neuronalen Mechanismen unserem Mitgefühl zugrunde liegen. Da ich ohnehin nicht aufhören kann von meiner Arbeit zu erzählen, fand ich die Idee hinter Pint of Science sofort sehr cool und freue mich nun ein Teil des Teams sein ...
Julia Partheymüller

I’m a PhD student in developmental biology moonlighting as a science podcaster. Book lover and true believer in the power of lifelong learning. Excited to be involved this year to prove yet again that, once served properly, everyone enjoys a pint (or a cup) of science.
Klaus Lex
Event Manager - Tech Me Out
Klaus ist ein moderner humanoider Roboter. Als Masterstudent getarnt und mit Bio-Zwickl betankt versucht er herauszufinden, wie viel die Menschen bereits über seinesgleichen wissen. Um nicht aufzufallen unterstützt er #pint22 und erlernt so die Sprache und Bräuche der Menschen.
Laura Hofmann
Event Manager - Unser Körper
I’m a Developmental Biologist with passion for seeing how all sorts of organisms develop! Currently I am doing my PhD in oogenesis, the fascinating event happening in mother’s ovaries before an embryo forms! I joined #pint22 because what can be better than science, beer, pub + interesting people?!
Lena Maria Leiter
Event Manager - Planet Erde
Ich liebe ALLES was mit Holz zu tun hat und habe daher „Holztechnologie“ studiert. Jetzt bin ich Doktorandin und mich schauen die Leute verwundert an, wenn ich ihnen sage, was ich studiere! In Pint of Science sehe ich die Chance - bei einem Bierchen - solche Blicke zu verringern.
Lenka Strnadova
Event Manager - English Events
As a neuroscience PhD student, I am interested in how the connections between neural cells are formed and maintained using a tiny worm called C. elegans. For me, communicating research is as important as actually doing it, and Pint of Science represents a great way to learn and have lots of fun!
Magdalena Engl
Event Manager - Unser Körper
Hi there! I'm a PhD student researching how brain cells develop and become specialized. I love sharing my passion for science with others through outreach events and making it more accessible to non-scientists. Let's explore the wonders of the brain together!
Marie Ebeyer-Masotta

I’m a behavioral biologist working on how ecology and cognition shape the way humans and animals interact with the world. Love all things nature, exploring our planet, the company of a good book and, of course, bringing cool science accessible to everyone (with a tasty pint!).
Rebecca Morse
Event Manager - English Events
I'm Rebecca, originally from Spain. I am currently a PhD student in Vienna interested in understanding circuits underlying memory. I always try to pair my food with a good drink, so why not also learn and hear about cool science at the same time during this year's pint of science?
Sowmya Geetha
