Instead of coming up to the lab to see what's on the slab, get down to your local and get blinded with science this May as 50 scientists visit Nottingham's pubs as part of the world's largest festival of public science talks.
After selling out all events last year, Pint of Science returns to Nottingham for its 4th year running, joining nearly 300 cities around the world taking part in this global festival from the 20 – 22 May. The international three-day Pint of Science festival will see thousands of scientists simultaneously bringing their research out of the lab to share with the public across 24 countries.
Researchers from the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University will talk about everything science at pubs across the city, including Rough Trade, Canalhouse, The Waterfront, Parliament Bar, The Angel Microbrewery, Herbert Kilpin and Lord Roberts.
The festival has expanded on last year’s success and will be covering science from all 7 themes: ‘Planet Earth’, ‘Tech Me Out’, ‘Our Society’, ‘Our Body’, ‘Atoms to Galaxies’, ‘Beautiful Mind’ and 'Creative Reactions' which brings together some of Nottingham’s brightest creatives with local academics to produce science inspired pieces of art.
Tickets are available from the Pint of Science website (pintofscience.co.uk), with each evening costing £4. Attendees in Nottingham will enjoy a variety of exciting talks including:
Dr. Jon McKechnie: ‘Trash or treasure? Finding value in wastes’
Dr Sara Goodacre and Ella Deutsch: ‘Life with eight legs: unravelling the secrets of arachnids’
Gabby Kavaliauskaite: 'The Genetics of Your Sweet Tooth
’Dr Jenni Cauvain: ‘Social Sustainability and the City’
Alongside the main talks, each evening will also include a range of science-inspired activities including real scientific data, comedy, quizzes, games, geeky puzzles, engaging stories and virtual reality demonstrations.
Tickets for Pint Of Science will be on sale from 8 April at pintofscience.co.uk/events/nottingham
