Are you passionate about science? Public engagement? Pubs!? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be interested in helping to run the Pint of Science<\/a> festival in York in 2024!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Pint of Science? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pint of Science is an international science communication festival that happens annually over three evenings in May. From 13-15 May 2024, science researchers will be making their way from the lab to public venues such as cafes and pubs to share their research stories with the public over a nice cold pint of their favourite drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival doesn\u2019t happen by itself; it needs a team of enthusiastic and inventive volunteers to make it happen. That\u2019s where you might come in. We need volunteers to run the festival in York! Roles require part-time commitment from Nov to May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
