Sydney | Pint of Science Festival

Pint of Science will be serving up a paddle of science topics to thirsty minds over a three-day festival, taking place in cities and towns across the country. Each night of the festival will feature a science-savvy line up of presenters, ready to share their innovative research, projects and passions in a casual and fun way.
