	Gillian Sinclair After spending most of her life in Scotland, Gillian moved to the foreign climes of England, Manchester to be précis. She has worked in grid computing for 5 years and is currently the Liaison Officer for the UK grid initiative, the NGS. Bit of a change from her PhD in Environmental Microbiology!

	Claire Devereux Claire Devereux moved to the world of IT late in life after many years spent trudging around muddy fields in welly boots conducting ecological research. From lack of data, to a lack of data solutions, Claire now manages the UK & Ireland regional consortium in the EGEE and NGS projects and is also involved in grid computing outreach and dissemination activities.

Neasan O'Neill
Neasan works on dissemination for GridPP and Enabling Grids for EsciencE (EGEE). With a background in chemistry and science communication he has been working with the Grid community since January 2006. Outside work he can be found either playing with his SLR camera or listening to what can only be described as music with a minority appeal. Described by at least one person as polite and charmimg he refutes those, and similar, claims.

	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.

	Manisha Lalloo Hailing from a chemistry background, Manisha now hopes to bring her science communication skills to the world of grid computing. She has joined the GridTalk team after 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.

	John Brooke John Brooke is co-Director of the UK North-West e-Science Centre and and is Strategic Research and Development Manager for Research Computing Services at the University of Manchester. He has been involved in e-Science and Grid computing since 1999 and his research interests are in distributed and high performance computing.
