It’s that time of the year again! Next Monday the 20th of May, the Pint of Science festival kicks off, bringing three nights of fantastic speakers to venues around Newcastle. Local researchers will be sharing their cutting-edge work in a fun, accessible format. This year, you can sip on a pint and hear thought-provoking talks on diverse topics, including how to grow a ‘living’ city and understand how animals feel pain. Other exciting events feature scholars of consumer psychology, immunology, human sexual behaviour, archeology, artificial intelligence, and more!
Tickets for the 18 events are still available but going fast! Grab yourself a ticket and have a great night out next week!
Contributors from {react} will be cosying up to the bar next week so keep an eye out for blog posts on their experiences coming soon!
