Title: A Pint of Science

Overview: Dr Praveen Paul and Dr Michael Motskin will be coming to talk to us about Pint of Science – a non-profit organisation centered around a unique international science festival which brings academic research to the masses in the friendly atmosphere of a pub!
Pint of Science was born out of a 'Meet the Researchers' event hosted by Praveen and Michael who were research scientists at Imperial College London at the time. This brought people affected by Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, motor neurone disease and multiple sclerosis into the science labs to demonstrate the research they were doing. The idea proved a great success for both visitors and researchers. They thought if people want to come into labs to meet scientists, why not bring the scientists out to the people?
The third annual Pint of Science festival will be bigger than ever before. It will take place between May 18-20 2015 across a staggering 40 cities in 9 countries around the globe! This will feature prominent scientists talking on six different themes, ranging from 'Atoms to Galaxies' to 'Tech me Out'. See http://pintofscience.com/ for more details.
