PhD Candidate in Neuroscience (Vascular Neurology and Re-habilitation).
I was frustrated to not have Pint of Science in my city in 2018… so I brought it myself!
I am so happy to be able to build a team of enthusiastic people and work together in this fantastic project! Enjoying every part of it!
Susan Leemburg
Fundraiser
Doctor in Neuroscience by ETH Zurich. I am currently an independent researcher, looking for the next adventure. I started Highlighter.ch in 2018 to showcase women working in STEM in Switzerland and joined Science for Progress later in the same year. Because two scicomm projects weren’t enough, I joined the Pint of Science team to help bring the festival to Zurich as well.

I love to learn new things. Therefore I am doing my PhD in system neuroscience looking at what brains are doing during learning. And –of course- other people love to learn new things, too. Try it yourself: Tell you friends a cool science fact, and hear them say: “Wow, that is amazing!”

As a PhD student at the Institute of Microbiology, I am always on the lookout for novel (bio)chemistry. In the weekends you can find me at a pub-quiz or, if the weather is good, hiking in the beautiful Swiss mountains.

I love to talk to people about how wonderful bacteria are and how they are not always the "bad guys". Doing research looking for a more sustainable world.

I am an Oberassistentin at the Institute of Psychology, and my main research interests are in stress-related disorders (e.g., depression). At our lab, we want to find out which treatments work for whom and how. I was a postdoc at King's College London before joining the UZH, where I first participated in a Pint of Science event.​

Truth be told, microbes fascinate me! The more mischievous they are, the more I like them. I
decided that unravelling their secrets would be one of my missions in life and, obviously, I
chose the coolest of them all… Viruses!
Organizing the PoS Zurich has been a fantastic experience and I believe every scientist should
take the leap and jump in!
I’m a Biologist doing a PhD in Virology in Zurich and when I’m not pretending I know what I’m
doing in the lab, you’ll find me “cake-crawling” and hiking.
