AIP Physics in the Pub 26/8/25 - Call for Presenters

It’s the International year of Quantum Science and Technology, so come to the pub and talk about it! Or talk about something else physics related, it will still be interesting!

The call for presenters is open now for Physics in the Pub, so get your creative hat on and dream up a fun way to engage a pub crowd. You have eight minutes - in the past we’ve had demos, rhymes, stand up, quizzes and even interpretive dance (and damn good powerpoint talks). What will you do?

MC Dr Phil Dooley will make sure the packed crowd will be warmed up and ready to listen, learn and laugh. We’re committed to showcasing the full diversity of the physics community in these events - everyone is invited to take part.

If you are interested please fill in this form. Any questions, ping Phil Dooley phil@philuponscience.com.au or Fred Osman fosman@bu.edu.

When: 6.30 for 7 PM, Tuesday 26th August 2025

Where: The Abercrombie Hotel, 100 Broadway, Sydney 2000.

How Much: Free thanks to the Australian Institute of Physics and their sponsors
