Pint of Science 2019
External Event - 20th to 22nd May 2019
Tickets are now available for Pint of Science 2019, a festival that brings brilliant scientists to your local pub. You don't need any prior knowledge, you simply sign up and come along to meet the people responsible for the future of science (and have a pint with them).
How did it start?
In 2012 Drs Michael Motskin and Praveen Paul, two research scientists at Imperial College London, held their first event, ‘Meet the Researchers’, which brought people affected by Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, motor neurone disease and multiple sclerosis into their research labs. It was inspirational for both visitors and researchers and they thought, if people want to come into labs to meet scientists, why not bring the scientists out to the people? And so, Pint of Science was born. In May 2013 they held the first Pint of Sciencefestival. It quickly took off around the world and now happens in nearly 300 cities.
How do I get involved?
This year’s festival takes place from the 20th-22nd May across more than 40 cities in the UK.
