SciBar - Science in a Bar

Description

Didsbury Scibar has an audience of almost 700 mailing list subscribers, 70% of whom are in the Manchester area. Our recent events attracted audiences of between 30 and 50 attendees in-person and another ~20 online. We are always looking for scientists, researchers and academics to speak at our Scibar, either in-person at our Manchester venue or online via Zoom. The format is a short 30-45 presentation & Q&A - https://didsburyscibar.co.uk/speak/
