What started in 2012 as an interesting idea is back again this year as they were right about it being interesting, and popular.

Basically a few days where lots of science people give talks about science things, but do so in pubs.

The Pint of Science festival takes place in a number of London pubs between 19th-21st May, and tickets have to be booked in advance. Based on the popularity last year, they are likely to sell out fast.

They are presenting on four topics:

  • Matters of the Mind (neurosciences and psychology)
  • Understanding our Bodies (life sciences)
  • Chemistry & Physics
  • Planet Earth (earth sciences)

There are, at the moment, 48 talks taking place, which is quite a lot to cram into three days, even for the most dedicated science/beer fan.

The full list can be found here.

Each talk cost £2.20, plus the cost of beer when you arrive.

Due to the timings, as they all take place in the evening, a lengthy pub-crawl between different venues getting slowly more drunk as the science wears on is not possible. Which may be a good thing, depending on your stamina.

Outside London, there are matching events in strange provincial places called Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, Bristol, York, Bath, and Glasgow.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
