LAURA BENZONANA
Director
I have a Phd in medicine from Imperial College London and I recently moved to Athens. Having spent most of my adult life at Imperial, I am what you could say a pint of science attendee veteran. I therefore, could not pass on the opportunity to be on the team organising such an event. I really believe in the premise in the festival and had the opportunity to watch it grow over the years. I cannot wait to see it here back in my home town. What could be better than drinking with friends while watching passionate scientists talk to you about what they love most and how they are making a difference in the world! See you in May...

A new challenge, a new step forward to increase the awareness of the large public on Science and Research. My great passion: Science Communication. Being involved for more than 25 years in this field I have also tried to pave the way for combining science and art on stage.
GIOVANNA
ARIANOGLOU
Organizer
A neurobiologist with a passion for science and anything related. My non nerd friends call me a nerd, but who cares? My main ambition is to employ my academic knowledge as a bioscientist and make a contribution in every day life. Communication of science is the driving force behind everything I do these days, teaching, reading, organizing Pint of Science. New entry in the team for 2020, looking forward for amazing new adventures!

ILIAS
VARTHOLOMAIOS
Organizer
Entrepreneur & Co-Founder of Owiwi as well as a former speaker in 2018. Despite not having a scientific background, i love all things science. From a very young age, I have always questioned the world. Science almost always gave me the answers to my never-ending torrent of queries, and it continues to do so. Having answers to my questions compelled me to want to know more. In short, science fed and continues to feed my curiosity.
