Pint of Science is a grassroots non-profit organisation that has grown astronomically over the few years since two people decided to share their research in the pub. Although our mission has expanded, our core values remain the same: to provide a space for researchers and members of the public alike to come together, be curious, and chat about research in a relaxed environment outside of mysterious laboratories or daunting dark lecture theatres. We believe that everyone has a place at the table to discuss the research going on both on our doorsteps and far beyond. Our missions and visions are based around the people that matter most: our audience, volunteers, speakers, and our wider research community.

Monday Speakers: Lauren Scott and Carlos Alvirez

Lauren Scott looks at how to convince students to learn and revise at home by making online learning like games.

Carlos Alvirez will talk about the people working behind the technologies we use in everyday life from ordering food on apps to building websites.

Tuesday Speakers:  Adam Stokes and Aleksey Kozikov

Adam Stokes talks about light and matter at the quantum scale and how knowledge of this can be used to develop quantum technologies.

Aleksey Kozikov talks about using quantum laws of nature to improve online security and information-sharing.

Wednesday Speakers: Dr David Rosario and Dr Adam Wollman

To see far away into space, astronomers employ the use of telescopes. These are used to image galaxies, stars and other planets.

Join Dr David Rosario as he talks about the technology behind the James Webb Space Telescope.To see really small organisms, biologists employ the use of microscopes. These are used to image bacteria, yeast and human cells.

Join Dr Adam Wollman as he talks about his work building new microscopes to see molecular machines inside cells, including working with the European Space Agency on a 0g microscope.
