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 at Dropbear brewery under the theme of "Our Body" and audience participation is encouraged! 

How do our bodies move, heal and make sense of the world? This event explores biology through two very different lenses. One talk reveals how fluid and exercise shape the Achilles tendon, using imaging to improve rehab. The other explores vision through the eyes and brain of an octopus, showing how studying unusual bodies can help us better understand our own.

University of Oregon graduate students Jarod Forer and Angelique Allen will present.

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.
