Reus and Tarragona will host on May 18, 19, and 20 the ninth edition of Pint of Science, the international science outreach festival that will bring talks on health, genetics, biodiversity, or climate change to bars and venues in the two cities. The official presentation of the event took place this Tuesday in Reus.
The event will bring research closer to leisure spaces with free admission and open until full capacity. In total, Tarragona will host more speakers than Reus, with 36 researchers and specialists compared to the 22 planned in the capital of Baix Camp.
Reus will gather 22 researchers in two locations starting at 7:00 PM
In Reus, the talks will begin each day at 7:00 PM and will be held between As de Copes Gastropub and Racó de l'Orfeó Reusenc. The Reus City Council collaborates in the organization through the Department of Economic Promotion, Innovation and Knowledge.
The program in the city will include interventions on nutrition and brain, microbiota, mental health, precision oncology, perinatal health, fertility, and genetics. There will also be sessions focused on climate change and biodiversity.
This year's edition once again places outreach outside the usual academic format and takes it to downtown venues with talks open to the public until full capacity.
Tarragona will host 36 speakers at Sala Zero, T2 Topos, and Totem Café
Tarragona will be the venue with the most participants in this edition, with 36 speakers distributed in three spaces. The activities will be held in Sala Zero, T2 Topos and Totem Café during the three days of the festival.
There, issues related to health and the environment will also be addressed, with topics ranging from the microbiota and mental health to precision oncology or biodiversity. The organization maintains the same free access format as in Reus.
For three days, both cities will share a program that is part of the ninth international edition of Pint of Science. The complete program with schedules, speakers, and locations can be consulted on the website pintofscience.es.
