This evening dives into the clever technologies helping us rethink agriculture
and plant science. One talk explores the digital future of farming, from mapping
fields to electrically zapping weeds. Another zooms in on stomata, the tiny pores
that let plants “breathe,” and the microscopes that allow scientists
to watch them at work. Smart tools, living systems, and a greener future.
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.
