Take a glug of the Pint of Science
People with inquisitive minds should book their tickets for this year’s Pint of Science.
The series of events is designed to bring research out of the science lab and into public-friendly places and has become a mainstay for Lincoln in May when those of a curious disposition can get the low-down on the latest discoveries, theories and trials for just a fiver.
From May 18-21 The Pessimist, The Realist and Dough Loco will be hosting scientists from the University of Lincoln covering a range of subjects from how we perceive the world to digital love – and they’re selling out fast.

The Science of Face Recognition with Dr Kay Ritchie; How the Fingers See: The Science of Braille and Perception with Polly Atkins; May 19 – The When and Why of Learning From Tthers with Dr Robin Watson, Carefree Children, Careless Youth with Dr Sue Bond-Taylor; May 20 - When Science Takes The Stage (Performing science — without dumbing it down!) with Dr Kay Ritchie, Ollie Smith and Simon Sanchez; Drawing An Understanding: Why Pictures Teach Better Than Words with Mark Leary.
