| Maureen McKeague | Ìý |
Maureen McKeague is an Assistant Professor in the departments of Chemistry and Pharmacology at Â鶹AV. HerÌýÌýis figuring out how chemistry and yeast can help cancer treatment. Maureen loves chemistry outreach because chemistry is part of our everyday life, no matter how you look at it. Her favourite experiment will always be making slime because it works, it's colourful, and anyone can do it! |
 |
| Serge Hirka | Ìý |
Serge Hirka is a PhD student working on the modified nucleic acids in the McKeague lab. He has been doing chemistry demos in front of various audiences ever since the age of twelve when parents gave him his first chemistry kit as a birthday present. He also loves learning languages and can spend hours talking about that one word's etymology... |

| Anne Labarre | Ìý |
Anne Labarre is a Master's student in medicinal chemistry. Her favourite demo is the elephant toothpaste, from which she always saves a bit for her elephant at home (but don't tell anyone). Apart from this, she enjoys swimming and reading. |
 |
| Christophe Lachance | Ìý |
Christophe Lachance-Brais has been in love with chemistry since he learned atoms are like small Legos. Now he tries to share his passion, no matter how many explosions it takes! He spends his days advancing his Master’s, but he also skies, climbs and beer-pongs. |

| Ada McVean | Ìý | Ada McVean recently started her Masters doing nucleotide chemistry in the Damha lab, after doing her undergrad at Â鶹AV in chemistry and gender studies. She works for the Â鶹AV Office for Science and Society busting pseudoscience at every opportunity. She enjoys organic chemistry, lab work, science communication and any experiments that involve fire. |  |
| Siba Moussa | Ìý | Siba Moussa is a PhD student at Â鶹AV's Chemistry Department. She is interested in all things related to electrochemical sensing, enzymes and nanotechnology. When Siba is not in the lab, you’ll find her wandering outdoors or reading a book or two. One of Siba’s favourite things is to show others how cool chemistry is through outreach! |  |
| Siting Ni | Ìý |
Siting Ni is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Chemistry studying material chemistry. She loves creating something colourful in the lab, listening to classical music, and putting some paints on canvas. |
 |
| Jorge Ramos | Ìý | Jorge Ramos is currently in his PhD trying to understand how molecules work. Directly imported from Mexico he enjoys talking and teaching science to any people who is (or not) willing to hear him. In love with the idea of scientific society where the reason drives the world. |  |
| Kevin Zhang | Ìý | Kevin Zhang is a PhD student interested in all things related to fluorescence. When not in the lab, he can be found semi-homeless in another country, making carnitas tacos, or double-faulting at your local tennis court. |  |
| Yichen Li | Ìý |
Yichen Li is a Master's student in Microbiology and Immunology. She enjoys talking about science in general but joined Chemistry Outreach because she finds fire cooler than showing people Petri dishes. Outside of lab, she split her time between catering for her succulents, baking, watching 20 cars race in a circle, and crocheting not-so-useful things. |
 |
| Natalia Muñoz | Ìý |
Natalia Muñoz is a PhD student in the Department of Chemistry at Â鶹AV, working in the Auclair Lab on mechanoenzymology research. She is passionate about chemistry and enjoys sharing her love for science in fun and engaging ways, like making nitrogen ice cream demonstrations. Outside of the lab, Natalia loves spending time outdoors, baking, and crafting. She believes science is not only fascinating but can also be lots of fun! |

Kadira Jones |
Ìý |
Kadira Jones isÌýan undergraduate student from Jamaica pursuing a double major in Chemistry (Bioorganic) and Mathematics. Being a science enthusiast, I always look forward to learning something new and spreading my interests with others. My favourite aspect of chemistry has to be conducting experiments, especially ones with drastic colour changes. |
