Xavier is an acoustician fascinated by all the things that make sound in the ocean. He is excited to be part of Pint of Science to share his passion for science and help make scientific research more accessible to the public... well, and he also likes beer! Lisa is an administrator at JASCO Applied Sciences, has a curious mind for science, and a thirst for beer! She is excited to be a part of Pint of Science Victoria’s first year, and is looking forward to listening to the varied interesting topics over a few pints. Ed is a software engineer and astrophysicist who has built, flown, and used telescopes on the ground, suspended from balloons, and sent into space! He's looking forward to bringing the fine patrons of Victoria-area pubs together with scientists from our vibrant local research community. Melanie studies underwater noise and how human-generated noise impacts marine life. She jumped at the chance to join the Pint of Science team, as an opportunity to connect several key aspects of her life : science, learning, community involvement, and beer! William is an associate conservation scientist with Wildlife Conservation Society Canada. He studies underwater acoustics and marine mammals in the Arctic. Lauren is a researcher at the UVic, she’s a whale geek at heart with her research focusing on the impacts of vessels on cetaceans. She is a big advocate for increasing ocean literacy and is a fan of combining science communication with alcohol, after all we do have some of our best ideas in the pub!
