Check out some fascinating free talks over a beer as Pint of Science lands in Cork pubs

Here’s a marvellous excuse to go to the pub.
This May, you can grab a pint while learning about black holes, climate change, or cutting-edge medical research as Pint of Science pops up in a selection of great Cork bars.
This year, Pint of Science Ireland is set to have over 200 speakers present their research at 59 events across 17 cities in Ireland from May 18th to 20th – the largest edition of Pint of Science Ireland to date.
In Cork alone there are 11 events featuring 41 researchers planned and attendees will have the chance to engage with experts in everything from anthropology to zoology — all in a relaxed, informal setting.

Over at Sober Lane on Sullivan’s Quay, lecturer Ruairí O’Reilly will present ‘Agentic AI: Smart Help or Digital Chaos?’ while up on Barrack Street at Mr Bradley’s you can explore the science of early life, from the brain’s protective “superhero” barriers to how we study newborn brain function at ‘Babies Blooming’ with PhD student Jennifer Morael.
