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 currently doing my PhD in Molecular Cardiology. My main focus is uncovering the mechanisms of vascular diseases and finding innovative therapeutic interventions. PoS for me seems to be a very intriguing platform for propagating science, because, one, experts and two, beer.
Rose Mathew
Speaker Manager
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’m a German geoscientist and moved to Kiel in 2023 for my PhD. I use marine geophysical methods to understand why volcanoes become unstable and collapse. I draw inspiration for my research from science communication, and I enjoy sharing my passion for science and geoscience through outreach.
Louis Meyer
Host / Pub Quiz Manager
I am a Computer Science student at Kiel University with a focus on collision avoidance for cars and drones. My technical research tries to improve the future of travel and locomotion in a safe way and I try to spread the topic and make it comprehensible to everyone interested.
