Lindau

Beatrice Lugger

studied chemistry at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University at Munich, where she did her diploma – just to become a science journalist in the end. Ever since then she satisfies her curiosity and maintains her fascination for research as she visits labs, looks into Petri dishes, gazes at particle accelerators, interrogates scientists or takes part at the Lindau Nobel Laureates Meeting now for the fourth time. At Lindau she again coordinates this conference blog. Apart from that she writes for various magazines and is part of science dialogue projects. Beatrice is an expert in social media, launched and established Scienceblogs in Germany and blogs about science communications ‚Quantensprung’ (http://www.brainlogs.de/blogs/blog/quantensprung).

She’s also responsible for organising real life events such as the Science Online London conference #solo11 (http://www.scienceonlinelondon.org) and the Science Online New York #SoNYC (http://sonyc2011.wordpress.com) monthly discussion series. A trained molecular biologist, who has studied in Cambridge, Heidelberg and Barcelona, she’s passionate about the use of social media for science communication.
Lou’s previous projects include co-founding and serving as Managing Editor for BlueSci, Cambridge University’s popular science magazine, and organising conferences and educational workshops in the virtual world of Second Life. This year she was also one of the co-organisers of SciBarCamb, an unconference for scientists in her home town of Cambridge.

Guest Blogger
We invite attendees of the 61th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting to support our blog with additional valuable content. And bloggers who joined our team the years before give us some impressions.

Lucas Brouwers

loves writing about science. He has a background in bioinformatics and molecular biology and is fascinated by evolution on every scale: from single genes to the fate of entire species. He currently works for a Dutch daily newspaper as a biology editor, where he hopes to reach as wide an audience as possible with stories about the beauty of nature. He blogs about evolution at his personal blog Thoughtomics (www.lucasbrouwers.nl). You can follow Lucas on Twitter (http://twitter.com/lucasbrouwers).
