Pint of Science: Power to the People


What happens when the fires of the industrial age begin to cool? By blending anthropology, chemistry, and engineering, they'll dive into the science of liquid batteries and coal-free "green" steel while examining the deeply personal impact of this transition on our local community.

Whether you're interested in the social fabric of the Hunter or the breakthroughs of local startups, come grab a drink and discover how they're building a fossil-free future, one atom and one community at a time.

Pint of Science is a global festival returning to the Hunter with 6 events.
