Plant biotechnologist here! Did you know that plants are epic warriors? They invented a plethora of defense mechanisms to repel, intoxicate, or kill all herbivores and pathogens that try to eat them day after day… Science is an amazing story, and I want to tell you all about it!

Co-coordinator
I am working on plant stress physiology. I study molecular mechanisms of multi-stress resilience in crops. When not in the lab, I enjoy doing science communication and outreach.
Annemerel Mol
Volunteer
I research and develop biotechnologies for the recovery of precious minerals and metals from waste streams. As the old Romans said: pecunia non olet (money does not stink). I am passionate about science communication for two reasons: it is fun and it makes me connect my research to society!
Ben Noordijk
Volunteer
Hi! As a PhD student I investigate how plants die due to heat and drought. Last year, I gave a talk at Pint of Science called: “The DNA Detectives”, but this year I’m more than excited to help other speakers fascinate their audience with all the cool science they’re doing.
Mijke Sweers
Volunteer
Besides my research about developing vaccines against parasites, I am very excited about science communication. Because if we can’t communicate our science properly, then what’s the use of doing research? For Pint of Science ’24 I am part volunteer and part speaker; I hope to see you at an event!
Vasiliki Akridopoulou
Volunteer
Researcher in Food & Nutrients, I seek to fill in the gap between scientists and the public. I see in Pint of Science a unique opportunity to share my enthusiasm and expertise, break down barriers and inspire the public to engage with science. Let’s enjoy science together around games and drinks!
Paulina Rosero
Volunteer
I am a geographer doing serious games and computational modelling about land-use change in tropical forest. I am passionate about transdisciplinary research by involving local communities, indigenous and non-indigenous, and presenting data in creative and unusual ways.
Layla Farmahini Farahani
Volunteer
I am a dedicated researcher in the field of cognitive science and extended reality (XR). My passion lies in understanding how individuals perceive and interact with both real and virtual environments, uncovering the complexities of human thinking in immersive contexts.
