AIP Physics in the Pub ACT

The night that took Sydney by storm has finally come to Canberra!

Physics in the Pub is made of eight snappy Physics Acts, each of a mere eight minutes - and YOU are invited to take part. 

Just give us eight minutes of phun, phascinating physics: a demo, a story, a song, some stand-up or a new twist on a traditional presentation. You know what I mean - we’re not talking frictionless inclined planes or spherical cows in a vacuum. Maybe even no equations?!?
Anything goes, in this format which is sweeping the UK – show off an innovative approach to communication in front of a friendly audience. If you’re too chicken to try it, then mark the date, and come along to laugh, cry and cheer!
I will be your MC on the night, and I will MAKE the audience applaud, cheer, laugh (when appropriate) and worship you; so do not be afraid. Besides, it’s in a pub, they’ll be “favourably disposed”.
Date: Wednesday 17th August 2016
Time: 7.00 – 9.00 PM
Venue: Smith's Alternative Bookshop, Civic
Cost: Free (plus free nibblies)
