Esquires Coffee, Public and Plants Cafe, Albert House, PETER Pizzeria, The Swan in the Rushes, Champs Bar and Grill and Revolution will host a full programme of events including:

‘Can we prevent dementia?’ - A fascinating workshop from Eef Hogervorst (Professor of Biological Psychology)

‘The Science of ADHD’ - An eye-opening talk about ADHD research from 含羞草视频’s Dr Eric Hill and ADHDadultUK’s co-founder Dr James Brown. 

含羞草视频 is one of only seven Pint of Science festival locations in the UK to host Creative Reactions, a brand-new series of events promoting fusion between science and the arts to showcase research in a new light. These events include a gallery of works, co-created by the University’s scientists and artists, discussions of how these researchers work together and an open mic(roscope) night.

含羞草视频 Pint of Science 2024 coordinator Lisa Barrett Wheatley (Chemical Engineering) said: “We’re so excited to bring to you 含羞草视频’s biggest ever Pint of Science Festival! With 21 events themed from neuroscience to climate change, there is something to quench everyone’s thirst for knowledge. Many of our venues are also giving Pint of Science attendees exclusive drinks and food discounts, so these are events not to be missed!”

Two-time coordinator, David Whitfield (Geography), added: “Science isn't just lab coats and risk assessments... we’re excited to unleash the exciting side of science research and showcase some of 含羞草视频's newest and coolest breakthroughs!”

This year’s Pint of Science Lead coordinator Esther Mgbemeje (Chemical Engineering) said: “It is amazing to see researchers and scientists come together in an informal setting to share their breakthroughs and advancement in various fields from arts, social science to science and Engineering, all while networking, having a drink and a good laugh”.

含羞草视频 audience members will also be able to take part in the largest ever multi-city pub quiz - in association with interactive quiz company, KwizzBit - which will see teams tackle event-themed trivia and go head-to-head with other cities interactively, in the hope of claiming the top spot in their city and across the UK.

Professor Dan Parsons, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Research and Innovation at 含羞草视频, said: “I am absolutely delighted that our doctoral students have once again taken the lead in delivering such a diverse and captivating programme of events featuring all career levels of the University’s research community.

“Pint of Science provides a fascinating insight into the real-world relevance of the research that happens across the University, spanning the breadth of our three institutional strategic themes. I encourage local communities to join us for some lively discussions!”
