PHYSICS IN THE PUB
Physics in the Pub is an initiative of the NSWAIP branch to bring to interested people, other physicists or general public, interesting ideas related to physics, over an enjoyable drink in a lively, fun, pub atmosphere. The night, once per year, usually consists of several short talks of about 8 minutes. Food is also available but booking is essential.
2024 Physics in the Pub

Wormholes, Multiverses and Magical Music
Local physicists and astronomers are coming to the pub - join them to hear all about building the tiniest nano-things, up to exploring this huge universe (and the parallel ones too).
There’ll be magic, there’ll be superpowers, but no cosmetologists as this amazing line up explores the astonishing world that is physics research.
Get there early to grab a drink and a feed, so you can settle in for a mind-blowing and rib-tickling evening. MC Dr Phil Dooley will keep the evening moving along - easy on the long words and equations- long on entertainment.
THE 2024 LINE UP
Red Clump stars are very important - astronomers love them. Which is why other stars try to impersonate them - Kirsten Banks (UNSW) is out to unmask these imposters.
Nanofabrication machines are amazing at making really small things. REALLY small. Smaller than light - so how can you see what you are doing? Lesley Spencer (UTS | TMOS) has that superpower.
Rachel Rayner (CSIRO | Rayner Explainer) is reaching out to the folks in Newtown who are looking for a psychedelic side to life. She says quantum mechanics is all they need.
Lorna Jarrett and Dean Cutajar (Wollongong) believe musical instruments are magical - and they are going to explain how that magic works (spoiler: I think it’s physics).
Daniel Terno (Macquarie Uni) wrote a paper about wormholes. His family didn’t like it - they stopped talking to him after that.
Lachlan Rogers (Newcastle Uni | EQUS) runs the EQUS podcast, and explores the sounds of quantum. According to his guests it could sound like Mozart. Or the sound of a vacuum pump.
Ian Falconer (USyd) also has a number of superpowers, that he learnt last century. He’s going to demonstrate amazing skills with a sliderule, graph paper and a pencil!
Despite what people say, Jahanvi Maheshwari (UNSW) is not a cosmetologist. Not in any universe. To prove it he’s going to talk multiverses with us.
2023 Physics in the Pub
Physics in the Pub is an annual event of the NSW Branch of the Australian Institute of Physics hosted by Dr Phil Dooley (Phil Up On Science)
Exploding stars, wombat poos & the zombie apocalypse: Physics in the Pub
The unique pub night will prove that physics can do anything - explain square wombat poos, predict a supernova or protect us from the zombie apocalypse.
Recorded at our new cosy venue, the Barrie in Chippendale, for a big night of physics from local scientists from across the region. This year featuring a third set, full of the most outlandish, unexpected and preposterous science - all peer reviewed! With quizzes, live experiments and full-body demonstrations it was a night to remembered.
