From 14 to 16 May, a group of staff and students from the Division of Brain Sciences will be helping with an ambitious science festival called Pint of Science.
Founded by Dr Michael Motskin of the Centre for Neuroinflammation & Neurodegeneration, this festival will bring leading scientists from five key universities to present their research to the general public in the friendly atmosphere of a pub, free of charge. The festival will encompass events in 15 pubs across London, Cambridge and Oxford.
Further team members from the Division include Praveen Paul, Amy Birch, Cristina Perez-Becerril, Konstantinos Konstantopoulos, Claire Williams, Ian Harrison and Eleanor Browne. In addition to the teams from Imperial College London, there are teams of staff and students organising events in association with University College London, King’s College London, University of Oxford and University of Cambridge. Each talk will specialise in the subjects of Brain, Body or Biotechnology. Professors Steve Gentleman and David Nutt from the Division have kindly accepted the offer to give talks. We are also thrilled to have financial support from the Division and Imanova.
