Gabrielle Lebbink
Co-City Coordinator
I'm an ecologist who studies plant (often grass) invasions and their impact on the environment. I am a passionate science communicator who strives to make science accessible for all folk. I have two native leaf insects as pets and spend most of my spare time in nature, hiking, reading, surfing etc.
Tyrone Humphries
Co-City Coordinator
I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Queensland investigating the use of different magnetic resonance technologies for diagnosis and management of kidney disease. Outside of that, I love my rugby and fishing and am always keen for a chat about either. My go-to beer is a basic pale ale!
Ben Carew
Volunteer
I'm an honours student at UQ, researching dark matter and atomic physics. When I'm not doing that, I love performing science shows with the UQ Science Demo Troupe. There's nothing better than a solid nerd-out sesh and chatting science with some mates!
Carly Beggs
Volunteer
I'm a PhD candidate at UQ, investigating neonicotinoid (the bee killing pesticides) fate and behaviour in aquatic environments. Proud plant mother, wannabe science communicator, semi-responsible pint consumer, long time science lover, first time volunteer and arguably the funniest person I know.
Damien Gault
Volunteer
I'm a coal miner who works with mechatronics/automation and loves to share information to everyone with an interested mind, especially when it involves a beer!
Daniel Westall
Volunteer
I was a medical physicist working in radiation and nuclear safety, with a passion for training as well as science. These days I am mostly painting watercolours and drinking craft beer in Brisbane and am really looking forward to facilitating some Pint of Science sessions after missing out in 2020.
Emily Vivian
Volunteer
I'm a Bachelor of Science / Bachelor of Arts student at the University of Queensland majoring in Biomedical Science, International Relations and Anthropology. I love engaging with science in its many forms, and am always keen to learn and share knowledge about our world and its universe.
Kate Secombe
Volunteer
I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Queensland, where I research how the gut microbiota affects the development of type 1 diabetes. I love learning about the new science happening around Australia!
Kempsy Ledger
Volunteer
I am an entomologist and work with Queensland Government's department of Agriculture and Fisheries. My favourite insect is a "stalk eyed-fly" (look it up!). I have a dog, enjoy crafting projects and a pint or two in my spare time. I am very colourful and tend to colour coordinate my life!
Matthew Yung
Volunteer
I work in IT and enjoy learning about pretty much anything that doesn't make sense to me, so science comes in handy for this. I like being active and enjoy travelling whilst enjoying many a pint along the way
Nathan Eggins
Volunteer
"Nathan Eggins is the leading man behind CONSPIRACY OF ONE, a musical solo project which is a bit sciency and a bit funny.
With a quirky sense of humour, Nathan introduces listeners to new concepts and perspectives on science, psychology and skepticism.
It's music to get you thinking on your fe...

Peekay Kent
Volunteer
Just your atypical nerd and collector of hobbies. When I'm not elbow deep in an aquarium, or joyfully running down wikipedia rabbit holes I can be found napping. I'm also a raving leftie, intersectional feminist, secular humanist and founder of Brisbane Skeptics.
Ron Hohenhaus
Volunteer
Helping clever people achieve great things is a rewarding way to make the world a better place. I care about the environment and the legacy we are leaving to subsequent generations. Science, I believe, is our best hope for the future.
Rosanna Virzi
Volunteer
Here I am. I like colours that pop, music that bounces and photographs you can smell. I've spent my twenties shuffling and my thirties resting. I'm not able to knit the coral beds together with spawn and scuba but I can crochet some sealove with wool whenever needed.
Roxane Mutschler
Volunteer
A PhD candidate who loves to see science applied to novel (and at times crazy) problems that arise in all aspects of society. I enjoy promoting science to all minds through effective science communication and believe that science should be accessible, fun and engaging!
Rudi Falkenbach
Volunteer
I'm studying sustainability, but I'm also interested in dinosaurs and enjoy learning about science generally. In my spare time I like watching baseball, doing puzzles, and attempting to keep plants alive.
Sadie Jones
Volunteer
I'm a zoology graduate (although I make coffee for a living) who likes playing football, chatting to people and falling asleep on the couch with a book. If you see me at the festival, make sure you say hi!
Sarah Morcom
Volunteer
I'm a chemical engineer and so in theory I should be pretty good at drinking beer. In my spare time I love listening to podcasts, doing puzzles and going on hikes.
Soobin Lee
Volunteer
I am an Honours student at UQ, researching about chronic kidney disease. In my free time, I enjoy starting new hobbies, with my recent ones being, hand-building ceramics and painting. Also love a good drink here and there. Come say hi if you spot me- I promise I won’t bite!
Taylor Dyba
Volunteer
A PhD student working in fungal pathogenesis with a love of all things Science and beer!
Laura Harms
Volunteer
I'm an honours student at UQ studying the endangered Condamine earless dragon. In the future I would love to help improve conservation prioritisation. My favourite thing ever is to listen to someone rave about a topic they're passionate about.
Christian Glass
Volunteer
I'm an Honours student at University of Queensland investigating the utility of cell culture models for personalised medicine in patients with renal cell carcinoma. Otherwise I'll be in the sun trying to keep active by hiking, playing beach volleyball, or surfing.
