Still confused as to what exactly a Bitcoin is? Head down to Leaf on Bold Street, Hus and Dockleaf from 14-16 May to hear talks on this plus everything from the science of gin and tonic, the language of Donald Trump and the rise of the superbugs.

Pint of Science returns to Liverpool for a second year, as part of an international, three-day festival that will see thousands of scientists simultaneously standing up and telling the public about their research in over 100 cities across 12 countries.

Alongside the main talks, each evening will also include a range of science-inspired activities including poetry, quizzes, live experiments and other interactive activities.

We've got a brilliant line up of talks and activities so come join us in the pub and discover some amazing science! "
