Join IPH researchers for a Pint of Science
Academics from the Institute of Population Health are set to showcase their research next month as part of the world's largest festival of public science talks.
More than 35 staff and students from across the University will deliver a unique line up of talks, demonstrations and live experiments at this year's Pint of Science festival.
Pint of Science runs from 22-24 May at venues including Leaf, Tempest, The Philharmonic Dining Rooms and The Shipping Forecast, with two members of IPH on the bill:
- Dr Clarissa Giebel will speak about this broad spectrum issue how she and her team aim to address equality in mental health care in ‘Dementia and Inequalities – How can we Create an Equal Playing Field for Dementia Care?’ on 24 May as part of the Brains on Booze, Stats News and Dementia Care Views event.
- Rebecca Besnahan gives insights about the health economics and spending policies of new and existing clinical technologies in ‘How Much is Your Life Worth to NHS England?’ on 24 May as part of the Spending a Penny event.
Laura Winters, Public Engagement Officer at the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, said: "This will be Liverpool’s largest Pint of Science festival to date, and we’re delighted to be part of this international event. Not only are we having fun and inviting people to learn something new, we are also shining a spotlight on the incredible research happening right here in Liverpool. Pint of Science gives researchers the opportunity to share their stories, and audiences an opportunity to ask questions about science to those directly behind it."
Alongside the main talks, this year audiences can go head-to-head in the largest ever multi-city pub quiz. Teams in each venue will compete against others across the city and the rest of the UK as they tackle a series of science-themed questions to prove which city has the strongest trivia knowledge. Also, not to be missed, the daring Shots of Science speakers will compete in a series of rapid-fire talks with the winner voted for by the public.
Pint of Science was founded in 2013 and this year marks the festival’s 10th anniversary.
Tickets are just £5 and can be found here.
