Pint of View: Research Lectures in Pubs
Pint of View is a new lecture series that brings research-led talks to pubs and bars.
It was started by Harsh Snehanshu and Shruti Sah, who wanted to make learning more accessible and fun.
The first lecture was about bats and sold out quickly.
Since then, they have covered many topics like science, history, and climate change.
The lectures are held in a relaxed setting where people can eat, drink, and ask questions.
The audience is diverse, including professionals, families, and even people on dates.
The founders plan to expand to more days and cities, with chapters already in places like Delhi, Mumbai, and London.
They ensure that the lectures are based on real research and pay the speakers well.
Many people come back for more, and new attendees find out about the events through social media.
