Pam is a 4th year PhD candidate in Microbiology and Immunology at UBC in Vancouver, BC where she is busy researching a new target for type 1 diabetes therapy. Her undergraduate studies in Biochemistry and Biotechnology, work in various research labs from academia to industry and participation at a variety of science conferences have exposed her to a diversity in scientific thought. Her participation in the Banff Science Communications Program and many science outreach programs including Science Rendezvous and Let's Talk Science have inspired her to communicate science from all fields. She shares her love for perfectly awkward science on her website The Big Brain Dump and she is as her Twitter handle @PamLincez describes - a futurist, realist, optimist and traveler.
