Festival takes science to pubs  Drinks in hand, customers at a London bar attend a sold-out talk on AI and the future during an annual event that takes public science discussions to pubs and cafes around the world. The Pint of Science Festival, now in its twelfth year, has expanded to more than 25 countries with more than 450 events in the United Kingdom this year.
