Can we tackle environmentally unfriendly cow burps by changing the animals’ diets? Those are just some of the subjects that will be up for discussion over the coming evenings during Pint of Science Ireland, where researchers speak in local pubs about their work in an accessible way. She believes researchers need to share more about what they do, and Pint of Science gives them an opportunity to do that in a relaxed environment. “There is a really big gap in between science and the general public, and the public don’t really know what scientists are doing in the lab, they don’t have information,” she says. “There are so many cool things going on in science and as researchers we can share that.”Pint of Science Ireland runs until May 16th.
