Francesco Costa
City Coordinator and Website Manager
I'm Francesco, I'm a Ph.D. student in Theoretical Physics studying the mysteries hidden in particle physics, in particular Dark Matter and Neutrinos. Besides that, I love to spend time in nature, hiking, biking, and recently I started climbing and bouldering and I love it!

I am a PhD student in Cellular Biochemistry, studying mitochondrial import machinery in human immortal cells needed to keep the power house of the cell going. I spend my weekends chilling with my plants and cooking. I am always up for conversations related to science and PoS is the perfect platform.
Elena Rebecca Cotroneo
City Coordinator
I ran away from Italy to do my PhD in Organic Chemistry in Germany. And guess what, my three main interests are chemistry, science communication and travelling. I also tend to accompany them – at least two out of three – with the occasional pint of beer.

I am a PhD student in Organic Chemistry at the University of Göttingen. I love meeting new people and learning new aspects of science everyday. Why not doing this over a pint?
James Goodman
Event Manager
I'm a postdoc researching the neuroscience of hand and finger motor control and its application to brain-computer interface technologies. Apart from that, I enjoy baking, reading dystopian fiction, and easy hikes (including long walks on the beach).
