Pint of Science 2025!

19^th– 21^st May 2025, 36 talks, 6 locations!

Pint of Science brings cutting-edge research out of the lab and into your local pub or cafe!

We are a global, grassroots non-profit that each year organises relaxed, inspiring events where scientists and the public connect over a drink to explore everything from black holes to brainwaves. With topics spanning neuroscience, technology, health, society, and beyond, Pint of Science celebrates curiosity, conversation, and community – no jargon, no lecture halls, just accessible science for everyone.

Join us for a pint and a peek into the latest discoveries shaping our world.

For all events, doors open at 7pm, start at 7:30pm and run until 9:30pm. All events include two talks and a quiz/ activity in between. You can buy tickets at: https://pintofscience.co.uk/events/edinburgh

We hope to see you there!
