Pint of Science is an international science communication festival which aims to connect academic researchers with their surrounding community in an informal, low stakes setting. Two talks will be held under the theme of "Atoms to Galaxies" and audience participation is encouraged!

From tiny materials to vast galaxies, this event explores our place in the universe. One talk looks at replacing “forever chemicals” found in everyday products with safer, earth‑friendly materials. The other zooms out to the cosmos, using images from powerful telescopes to explain the scale of the universe, our solar neighborhood, and the search for planets beyond our own.

UO chemistry graduate Alex Rosen and Prof. Scott Fisher will be sharing their insights into these topics.

Check out the May 18 presentation: The Amazing Science of How Bodies Work.
