	Sara Coelho Sara read geology in Lisbon and Mainz and for years used field work as an excuse to travel around the world. After finishing a masters in science communication, and working as a reporter for Science and Planet Earth online, Sara joined the EGI dissemination team in July 2010.

	Elizabeth Leake Elizabeth Leake is the External Relations Coordinator for the US National Science Foundation’s TeraGrid. Her experience includes more than 20 years in public higher education as a technology service provider and communicator.

	Oxana Smirnova Oxana Smirnova is NDGF-CERN Coordinator and an Associate Professor at the High Energy Particle Physics division in Lund University, Sweden. A graduate of Moscow State University, she obtained Ph.D. in physics from Lund University. Apart of doing physics research, Oxana is heavily engaged with Grid technologies, being an active contributor to the NorduGrid's ARC middleware.

	Manisha Lalloo Hailing from a chemistry background, Manisha now puts her science communication skills to good use in the world of grid computing. She joined the GridTalk and e-ScienceTalk teams following a stint in Brussels, helping the European Parliament promote their many events. Manisha also works as a freelance chemistry writer and in her spare time likes to dance

	Catherine Gater Catherine has a background in Materials Science and a keen interest in talking about scientific research rather than doing any herself. Catherine is now Chief Administrative Officer and Dissemination Manager for EGI.eu in the Netherlands and is project coordinator for the e-ScienceTalk project.

	Domenico Vincinanza Domenico works in DANTE's International Relations Team. He also coordinates a grid project, called ASTRA, which uses distributed computing to reconstruct ancient instruments. Domenico is both a physicist and a music composer and worked as a research associate at CERN and University of Roma Tre before joining DANTE.

	Stuart Purdie With a degrees spread between Chemistry, Physics and Material Science, Stuart currently describes himself as a Computer Scientist, with interests in decentralised and distribed computing, and human-computer interaction. Splitting his time between St Andrews and Glasgow, he works on the user support side of EGEE.

	Corentin Chevalier Corentin is e-ScienceTalk's technical wizard. He's specialized in website conception, (particularly flash, animations and dynamic systems) and doing some grid computing webcasts. He also keeps close track of new technologies and concepts, of which grid computing is a biggie.
