From the chemistry of city soils to the surprising structure of wheat leaves,
the predator-prey dynamics of urban gardens, and the ecological importance of spiders,
this evening highlights the hidden complexity of the natural world. These talks explore
how tiny organisms and subtle biological traits can influence crop performance,
environmental health, and biodiversity right in the places we live.
Come for the plants, stay for the spiders.
Pint of Science is a non-profit organization that brings some of the most
brilliant scientists to your local bar of cafe to discuss their latest research
and findings with you. You don't need any prior knowledge, and this is your
chance to meet the people responsible for the future of science
(and have a drink with them).
Our festival runs over a few days in May every year.
