Preeti Moar
City Coordinator
I am an infectious disease researcher interested in the human immune system. I am currently studying antibody responses to viral infections and vaccines in older adults living in nursing homes in Sweden. I enjoy learning new things and talking about science!
Taylor Devlin
Event Manager
I am a researcher at the intersection of biochemistry, structural biology, and microbiology. I study how bacteria stick together to form biofilms and then spread antibiotic resistance to each other. I am passionate about promoting fun and effective scientific communication.
Arttu Ahonen
Event Manager
I’m a postdoc and an applied microeconomist interested in environmental and urban economics. My current research centers on transportation, exploring the distributional consequences and political viability of fuel taxes, and how driving choices are shaped by neighborhoods through habit formation.
Praveen Mathews Varghese
Event Manager
I’m a virologist studying how viruses infect us, focusing on how they bypass protective barriers and evade immune defences. I explore how they interact with helpful bacteria in our bodies. I’m passionate about communicating science in fun, & engaging ways.
Nazar Beirag
Event Manager
I am a postdoctoral researcher focusing on bacterial membrane vesicles and their role in modulating gut viral infection. My work aims to understand bacteria–virus interactions to inform improved strategies for preventing infectious diseases.
Barbara Walenkiewicz
Event Manager
I’m a chemist by training and microbiology enthusiast, currently a postdoctoral researcher in molecular biology studying bacterial cell walls with fluorescent probes. I approach science like a mystery novel—following clues, asking questions, and uncovering the “whodunnit”.
