Science over a pint of beer
THE Pint of Science Australia Festival is back in Cairns for its fifth year, showcasing science in the most relaxed of venues – the pub.
This year’s talks in Cairns will feature scientists who investigate the natural environment on our doorstep.
“Pint of Science is a really fun way to learn more about the work of local scientists and about the world around us” Cairns festival coordinator Abbi Scott said.
“In Cairns we’re fortunate to have the rainforest and the Reef, which attract scientists from around the world. Cairns is a great place to live, but it’s also a fantastic place to work as a researcher.”
“This year’s Pint of Science speakers will be sharing their work, and explaining how locals can survey the Great Barrier Reef, or even discover new species.”
Pint of Science will present two nights in Cairns on Monday, May 22 and Tuesday, May 23 hosted by Macalister Brewing Company at Smithfield.
Tickets are $8 in advance. For tickets and more information search for Cairns events on www.pintofscience.com.au or click the following link in our online edition: https://bit.ly/3o7f83Q
