Pint of Science is a charity run by volunteers that brings some of the most brilliant scientists to your local pub to discuss their latest research and findings with you. 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). The festival started in the UK and runs every May in nearly 300 cities across 21 different countries - including Australia! This year Pint of Science will take place in 16 cities across Australia over 14, 15 and 16 May 2018.

The Toowoomba themes are

• Wine-ing about renewables (14 May)
• Scintillating tech
• Outback tucker

This year, Pint of Science in Australia is proudly supported by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency.
