Quaffin' with a Boffin

Learn something while you drink beer — it's a compelling proposition. Pint of Science is a pub-hosted science fest taking place across 21 countries in nearly 300 cities, and fortunately for you, one of those cities is Brum. If you've ever wondered how Icarus flew or how sperm swim, you want to get to The Church on May 15 (tickets — £4). If environmental and social shifts are more your getup, it's the Jekyll & Hyde for you, to learn how researchers are using NASA satellites to measure changes taking place on Earth right now. On May 16, tickets are also £4. All events are led by the city's uni scientists, there are plenty of opportunities to ask things and booking is very recommended — many events have already sold out. Cheers.
