Physics in the Pub: Call for Presenters

31 May 2024 11:59 AM | Anonymous

Can you get on stage at a pub and talk about your research, favourite equation, or some everyday aspect of Physics? You’ve got eight minutes.

Physics in the Pub is coming to Perth 2 July and Sydney 27 August and nominations are now open for presenters.

Previous speakers have tried stand-up, rhyming couplets, demos, quizzes (and snappy powerpoints too)… What will you try?

The MC, Dr Phil Dooley, will have the crowd warmed up and ready for whatever you serve up.

We’re committed to diversity in our speakers - cultural, gender, age, niche of physics!

Email phil@philuponscience.com.au by Tuesday 4 June (for Perth) and 28 June (for Sydney) to get involved. Tell him a bit about yourself and what you plan to talk (rap, sing, dance) about.


When: 5.30pm for a 6pm start, Tuesday 2 July 2024
Where: UWA Tavern, Hackett Drive, Crawley
Cost: Free thanks to our generous sponsors
