Got a thirst for knowledge? Enjoy a big ol' glass of delicious science (and beer) as the nationwide Pint of Science Festival returns in 2024.
From May 13-15, you can head to a whole host of top beer spots around the country and indulge in interesting talks from top scientists and researchers in a truly vast array of fields.
Whether you're into Dingo DNA, neuroplasticity, rural health, brain-gut dynamics, Aussie farming tech, chemical communication in insects, nanotechnology and quantum mechanics, building a more sustainable future, the hidden lives of plants and microbes, or the small question of the fate of our universe, there's truly something to get everyone thinking.
We'd wager many Crafty Pint readers will already be well aware of the thought-provoking discussions that happen in the relaxed setting of a brewery, so you'll be pleased to know that many of the hosts are breweries, pubs and well-known beer spots.
