British Columbia
Science talks in your local pub !
This year Victoria will host its first ever Pint of Science Festival! It will happen simultaneously in three venues. Come learn about the Big Bang, atoms, planets and black holes at the The Moon Under Water Brewery, Pub, Distillery & Tasting Room, about autism, human potential, and healthy aging at the Gorge Pointe Pub, and about BC’s whales, bees and seismic hazards at the Six Mile Pub.
Thanks to our generous local sponsors JASCO Applied Sciences Ltd. and Ocean Networks Canada, our science festival is FREE, and there will be prizes to win every night!
You don’t need any prior knowledge, and this is your chance to meet the people responsible for the future of science (and have a pint with them).
Reserve your seat and get more details at http://pintofscience.ca/
Good beer, entertainment and lively science discussions guaranteed!
