What is the Pint of Science
The Pint of Science festival aims to deliver interesting and relevant talks on the latest science research in an accessible format to the public – all in the pub! We want to provide a platform which allows people to discuss research with the people who carry it out - no prior knowledge of the subject is required. It is run mainly by volunteers and was established by a community of postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers in 2012. The main festival takes place annually over three days in the month of May simultaneously in pubs across the world. Pint of Science is a non-profit organisation.
SLIM and the Pint of Science
A small contingent of the SLIM team participated in the Nottingham Pint of Science festival in May. They set up the newly designed Raspberry Pi microscope in a city centre pub and spent an enjoyable evening introducing the public to the wonders of the microscopic world.
