Description

Pint of Science Australia brings research out of the lab and into venues around the country.

This volunteer-run festival is all about making science accessible, engaging, and fun, with researchers sharing their work with the public in a relaxed and casual venue. Whether you’re a science lover, curious thinker, or just after a unique night out, this is your chance to catch incredible research and big ideas, served with your favourite beverage and good company.

This National Science Week, join us at King O'Malley's in Canberra Civic for two nights of science talks from local researchers. With three speakers each night covering everything from novel disease detection to marine megafauna and designer fungi, there's something for everyone!
 

Dive into the secret lives of animals, from ocean-roaming giants to heat-beating fairywrens and the drama of group decisions in the wild. Discover how marine megafauna migrate across the globe, how tiny birds cope with the Aussie heat, and what happens when animal leaders try (and fail) to take charge.
Speakers:
A/Prof. Ana Sequeira (Associate Professor, The Australian National University)
Fran Hacker (PhD student, The Australian National University)
A/Prof. Damien Farine (Associate Professor, The Australian National University)
 
Discover how Parkinson’s disease might be diagnosed before it starts, and why brains on the autism spectrum respond differently to trauma. It’s an evening of bold ideas, brilliant minds, and science that just might change lives.
Speakers:
Dr Nathalie Dehorter (Research Group Leader, The Australian National University)
Dr Shaam Al Abed (Postdoctoral Fellow, The Australian National University)
Speaker 3 TBA
