	Dana Vejmelkova is an Assistant professor at the Department of Water Technology and Environmental Engineering of UCT Prague. Her research focuses on antimicrobial resistance at wastewater treatment plants and, more recently, on the presence of coronavirus in wastewaters. Since her doctoral studies, she has carried out research visits to TU Delft, University Vienna, and Wetsus. Within REPARES, she is the dissemination coordinator and leader of work package 1, which, among other things, deals with the organization of a series of seminars on the methodology and a summer/fall school on transferable skills. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, these events have had to be moved online, which Dana sees as a challenge and at the same time a great opportunity to learn new ways of interacting.
	Dana Bilkova has theatre as her hobby since secondary school and later on, she has started doing improvisation as well. She studied Organic technology and Specialization in Pedagogy at UCT Prague where she works as a popularizer of chemistry and a teambuilding facilitator. In her free time, Dana teaches improvisation and her passion is to connect theater and chemistry.
	Filip Karda has been doing improvisation since the start of his secondary school years. It is his hobby and a profession. Filip studied Drama and Education at the Theatre faculty of JAMU in Brno and Authorial acting at DAMU in Prague where he currently teaches as well. He is a facilitator in "Škola improvizace" (School of Improvisation) and a clown at "Zdravotní klaun" (Medical Clawn).

She has operated as a knowledge bridge between academia and business supporting the implementation of source-separated sanitation on the pilot and large scale. At Wetsus, she has set up and coordinated a program for the research of AMR in the urban water cycle, studying the problem at the different sources such as hospital and communal wastewater, as well as the input of the agricultural sector, also involving water technology providers, clinical laboratories and waterboards. She currently co-supervises 4 Ph.D. projects and has coordinated the participation of Wetsus in 4 European projects on the subject of AMR in water in the past 6 years (Denewa, Health-i-Care, Meduwa, Repares).
	Marina Rantanen is an MSCA doctoral researcher working on mechatronics and cyber-physical systems at the Technical University Dortmund.

Marina is an executive secretary at the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) and specializes in visual presentation and Science Communication. Talk: Scientists typically publish their research in peer-reviewed journals aimed at their disciplinary colleagues. There are other ways for scientists to communicate their research in an easy and understandable way. This is known as Science Communication and is often aimed at a broader (public) audience and includes simplifying research, imaginative and fun graphics for complex ideas, short articles and blog posts that educate and engage readers, and social media channels.
