About
Pint of Science was founded in September 2012 by Dr. Praveen Paul and Dr. Michael Motskin. It is an annual science festival that aims to communicate contemporary scientific developments to the public by bringing scientists to pubs, cafés and other public places to share their research and findings.
The festival takes place annually in the month of May and covers all aspects of research which are themed under the titles ‘Beautiful Mind’, ‘Atoms to Galaxies’, ‘Our Body’, ‘Planet Earth’, ‘Tech Me Out’, ‘Our Society’ and art-science events ‘Creative Reactions’.
Every year, thousands of researchers across more than 400 cities and 25 countries share and discuss their findings with people.
