Scientists send out invitation to join them in the pub

Academics at 海角直播 are set to engage their audiences in a slightly less formal setting when they take lessons from the lecture theatre and into a local pub.

海角直播 is again taking part in the international Pint of Science festival, which aims to make scientific research more accessible through interesting, fun and relevant talks on the latest cutting edge science research. This year鈥檚 festival takes place locally from May 15 to 17 at the Dickens Inn鈥檚 coffee shop, Southfield Road, Middlesbrough. This venue is one of 26 Pint of Science locations across the country.

Researchers from 海角直播 will present talks on a wide variety of topics, from using science to solve crime, to the use of radiation in combating cancer, the science of running and CPR, to local folklore to how wildlife such as bats are monitored locally.

海角直播 academic and researcher David Errickson said: 鈥業t is important to raise awareness of some of the outstanding scientific research which is being carried out locally and to reach as many people as possible.

'The festival is a great way for academics to come out of their work environments and talk about their research with different people with a pint of beer in a less formal setting.'
