I am a Material scientist, currently finishing my PhD at the Kiel University. My work focuses on characterizing materials with electron and X-ray microscopy. I am thrilled to be part of the PoS team and spreading words about science. Apart from work, I like travelling, sports, art, and music.

I’m a PhD candidate at the Department of Neurology, UKSH Kiel, studying gait in Parkinson’s disease—one step at a time (pun intended). I’m passionate about science communication, and PoS is the perfect way to share research and prove science isn’t just for the lab—it is for the pub too!

I am a molecular biologist from India presently doing my PhD in Biochemistry at CAU-Kiel where I look at transcription mechanisms on a deeper level in the context of tumours. My interest in sci-comm is heavily inspired by Wendy Zukerman. I also enjoy baking and a good true crime podcast.

As scientist at the UKSH in Kiel, I try to understand what causes leukemia and why current therapies help some people but not others. I hope that one day my findings can help to improve this! Pint of Science helps me to communicate my research not only to other scientists but actually to everybody.

I completed my Master’s in Psychology and started psychotherapy training. I’ve enjoyed research through my theses and work on a Parkinson’s study at UKSH. I joined the team because I love research and attending science events, and I’m excited to help make science accessible to others.

I am a PhD candidate at GEOMAR studying ocean viruses, focusing on the polar regions. I’m committed to making science open and accessible to everyone, because science should serve the people — not just those who speak its language. When I’m not in the lab, I’m reading a book or baking cookies.
