🍻Pint of Science is over for another year! Thanks to the hard work of our amazing volunteers, speakers and venues, Edinburgh hosted 18 events on everything from toffee physics to telepathy, with 600+ attendees. We had plenty of quizzes, games, and demonstrations too! #pint24

@DanODodd @pintofscience @pintsworld Thanks for being part of it and giving such a fun talk! The cheese strings were inspired!

@_KatiePickup @pintofscience @pintsworld Yes thanks @_KatiePickup was really well organised and a lot of fun!

Had such a fun week helping run our #pint24 events with a great bunch of people. It was amazing to have the opportunity to give my own talk as well and make silly cartoons about stem cells. All our other speakers were incredible and I learned so much about so many things! 🍺🧬

@Alex_Brombin @pintofscience @pintsworld Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for bringing the fun with all the fish chat, Deadpool and Pancetta! 🐟

6 talks across 3 nights filled with fascinating facts about #ourbody! So glad to have been a part of running these events with such an incredible group of people! ☺️ #pint24 ✅
