Exposure 18/19 Organising team
The team running the SNSF Agora project in 2018 and 2019
Dr. Robbie I'Anson Price
Robbie is a filmmaker and scientist from the U.K. He recently finished his PhD at the University of Lausanne. His research focused on how communication and learning in bees that live in colonies is adapted for success. Much of the research that he carried out investigated the benefit of dancing to communicate the location of a food site in honey bees.
His interests include performing science inspired improv and yoga.

Robbie is the project manager, overseeing the successful running of all events.
dr. Adria Leboeuf
Adria is a multi-disciplinary scientist and a specialist in creating new media about scientific research. In her scientific life as a researcher at the University of Lausanne, she is managing and executing a project on chemical crowdsourcing of long-term decisions in ant colonies through trophallaxis. Adria is the founder of The Catalyst (www.thecatalyst.ch), a cross-disciplinary theater group for scientists working to improve communication skills and to create new science-driven media (most recently, bluebutterflyplay.ch).

Adria will have a role in big-picture organisation as well as hands-on organisation at each event.
Dr. Aurelie papilloud
Aurelie carried out her PhD in the Laboratory of Behavioral Genetics at EPFL under the supervision of Prof. Carmen Sandi. Her thesis project aimed to investigate the role of stress hormones in the modulation of behavioral deficits induced by adverse experiences early in life.

Aurelie will have a role in big-picture organisation and will be in charge of ensuring event logistics run smoothly.
ENRICO MILANESE
Civil engineer, Enrico is the only non-doctor of the team. He'll be one some day though, as he's pursuing his PhD in Mechanics at EPFL. Or maybe not. In fact, along the quest for a PhD he found himself in a subplot of science filmmaking. He participated at the first edition of Exposure in 2016, where his team was awarded the audience prize, and was hooked. He's the Italian accent of the Exposure vlogs you all love. Following him is the only way to find out if he drops his PhD for a filmmaking career. Just don't tell his mother if he does.
Prof. Kerstin Preuschoff
Kerstin Preuschoff is a multi-disciplinary scientist and educator with a passion for communicating science across disciplines and audiences. Her research in Neuroeconomics at the University of Geneva includes all aspects of decision-making - from the neuroscience behind it to its impact on financial markets. Outside the lab she is involved in local theatre and filmmaking groups.

Kerstin is the main applicant on the Agora grant she will have an overseer role in the project and a mentorship role in each of the events in each location.
Dr. ELEONORA AQUILINI
Scientist and Science Communicator. Made in Italy, Eleonora believes in and excels at communication: from languages (she speaks 4) to science. PhD in Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology obtained in Spain, she combines her career in academia in France, where she works on host-parasite interactions, and her role of professor, with her passion for languages, travel and communication. She is now deepening her passion for Science Communication as a student of the Master in Science Communication and Future Media at Salford University.
