I'm a postdoc in Physical Geography at Simon Fraser University where I research how rivers and landscapes interact in all kinds of exciting corners of the world! I'm excited to be bringing PoS to Vancouver for the first time in 2019, combining two things that the city does so well together. Aspen is a graduate student at SFU studying groundwater salinization in coastal deltas. She is a big advocate of making Earth Science education fun and enjoys working with K-12 outreach programs. When she isn't working, you can usually find Aspen outside, climbing or catching cool fish. Max is a grad student at Simon Fraser University studying bedrock rivers and canyons in BC. His love of the outdoors and endless supply of random facts promises for some entertaining trivia at Pint of Science! Anna is a postdoc at UBC in Microbiology and Immunology. Her research focuses on the link between malnutrition and gut microbiota. Her goal is to bring better nutrition strategies to poor countries. She’s always up for a beer and some laughs, the perfect combination for PoS! Elyse works as a sector manager at Genome BC, putting her doctorate to work supporting scientists using genetics and technology to tackle important problems in the health sector. She is passionate about translating research to real-world outcomes and compelling stories - like at PoS! I’m a grad student at SFU studying how our nervous system controls our body as we walk in our continuously changing environment. An important part of science is sharing our scientific knowledge with the community. I'm excited to do that through PoS! Ariana is a recent convert to Vancouver. Happy to be out of the wintry grasps of Alberta, she is pursuing her Master’s in Neuroscience at UBC. Her research uses imaging modalities to study structural and metabolic aspects of bipolar disorder. She is super excited to welcome you all to PoS!
