Pint of Science is a worldwide science festival which brings researchers to your local pub to share their exciting discoveries with you!


THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY - discover how our own gut bacteria can change our health for better or worse


What makes 'good bacteria' good and 'bad bacteria' bad?

Where does our gut microbiome come from?

Can bacteria improve baby health?

How do bacteria end up in places they are not supposed to be?

How can targeting bacteria revolutionise treatment for a variety of diseases?



JOIN US TO FIND OUT!

Bacteria, Babies, Boobs

What exactly are ‘good bacteria?’ What makes them ‘good’? Where did they come from? Come along and listen to our scientists give an overview of how your first gut microbiome developed! You will then be taken through a journey on setting up a company, BoobyBiome, where we will describe the highs and lows of start-up life.

-----

Feed your bugs to replace the drugs: the end of inflammation?

Discover how “bad” bacteria in the gut contribute to inflammation, find their way into places they shouldn’t be and cause problems throughout the whole body. Treatments correcting gut problems may help patients with a range of inflammatory diseases, and represent an exciting medical frontier. Food can be medicine, and in the future your prescription might even simply read “broccoli”.

Pint of Science is for everyone! No prior knowledge required!
