	Beatrice Bressan After a degree in Mathematical Physics and a Master's in Science Communication, Beatrice completed a PhD and postdoctoral fellowship in Knowledge Management and Technology Transfer at Helsinki University within the research programs at CERN. She has worked several years in these areas as a researcher, writer and head of communications.

Stefan Janusz
Stefan has always had a passion for communicating and writing about science. After an undergraduate degree and PhD that included research projects on computational chemistry and nanofabrication/biointerfaces, he worked for several years as a science communicator for the MRC. He is really excited about the power and potential of e-science technologies. He also likes old computers and cooking.

Golem Praha
The Golem of Prague was born in the late 15th century. He's come to e-science fairly late in his life, although he is technically undead. He's the only member of the Gridcast team to be made out of clay and magic, but has nevertheless got into e-science in a big way, having undergone a chemical vapor deposition makeover to give him a skin of silicon. Unfortunately, he has a habit of eating computer keyboards. He likes listening to Mozart and Bobby O.

	Zara Qadir Zara has a background in Biological Sciences, and has worked within the fields of e-learning, pharmaceutical marketing and scientific programme and curriculum development. She is now a Dissemination Officer at e-ScienceTalk, and works part-time as a freelance science writer.
