Alba Lorente
Volunteer
Atmospheric scientist looking to air pollution from space. Back on the ground, I craft beer with friends and love to taste new flavours. I never miss a chance of a having a beer, so let’s share it with some interesting science stories!

Raquel Ledo
Communication Officer
Biotechnologist, pianist in my free time and passionate about photography. Mentally curious and restless, always to the rhythm of a good blues. Lover of nature and any activity surrounded by it. The disclosure is the mouth of science, let it talk!

Victoria Pascal Andreu
Volunteer
Computational biologist doing a PhD in Wageningen University. I study the human microbiome from a genomic perspective to elucidate new and relevant molecules they produce. We need to communicate more and better scientific research, let’s get inspired with a beer then!
Jeroen van der Berg
Volunteer
Post-doc at the Hubrecht Institute, where I use the single-cell based sequencing technologies to study the interplay between transcription and DNA replication. Besides work, I like to spend my time in bars with drinks and friends. Combining both science and bars is in my opinion a stroke of genius and the reason why I help organize Pint of Science!

Pily and Jorge
Volunteer
Jorge is a postdoc in the Westerdijk Institute using bioinformatics to study fungal secondary metabolites while Pily is enjoying a break from teaching; both from Mexico. We love the idea of bringing scientists and the general public together to share ideas. Also, amazing science goes well with a nice glass of beer, salud!
