I am a postdoc in pancreatic cancer/ pancreatitis research at the Klinikum Rechts der Isar, TUM. I have followed the path of science for a long time, but just recently discovered the benefits of combining it with a refreshing pint! I figured working towards this goal would be a cool achievement!

I am an astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics. My work is to simulate the Universe in a computer and try to figure out its mysteries. I sometimes succeed. Science is a global, fascinating endeavor to understand Nature, why would you not talk about it in front of a Pint?

I am a postdoc at the European Southern Observatory where I use large telescopes to study massive stars in our neighboring galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds. I think that it is crucial to not only bring our research results to the general public, but also our enthusiasm for science. And how to better …

I’m a Brazilian PhD student at Gene Center (LMU) and my work involves the characterization of jumping genes in a context of neurodegenerative diseases. But better than be in the lab is talk and discuss science with a cold pint on hand!
