	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.

Elizabeth Leake
Elizabeth Leake is a Chicago-based technology industry external relations consultant. Her experience includes more than 20 years in education and research technology service and communication, including three years as External Relations Coordinator for the US National Science Foundation's TeraGrid project. She enjoys helping researchers make a high-performance connection through effective communication.

	Sean Crosby Sean Crosby is the System Administrator and Developer for the Australian ATLAS Tier 2 site in Melbourne, Australia. He has a background in Physics (BSc (Hons) and PhD (Discontinued)), and a passion for researching and applying the latest technologies to the betterment of research. He also enjoys political chats, cricket and crime shows.

	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.

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.

	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.

	Agnes Szeberenyi Agnes Szeberenyi is a research fellow at SZTAKI LPDS, coordinating the Grid Application Support Centre and Dissemination team. She has a background in Computer Science and Economics, and her involvement with grids started in 2004 at the 1st EGEE conference.

	Martin Veicherts Martin trained as an engineer at the Technical University of Denmark, with a Master's thesis on methods for petroleum production. He entered the grid very slowly, spending four years in the telecom business setting up load balancing with Erlang, and later with the Geodetic Society. He now works in the Grid Computing Group at the University of Copenhagen in an outreach role.

	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.

	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.

	Adrian Giordani Originally from London, Adrian has a BA degree in Software Systems and four years of commercial experience in the online industry. Having recently completed a MSc in Science Communication at Imperial College, he is now a science writer based at CERN and covers topics about grid computing, cloud computing, super computing, volunteer computing, networks and much more.
