Event Information

Sixteen researchers from the University of Lincoln will share their scientific discoveries during the world’s largest festival of public science, set to return to the city on Monday 19 May 2025 for a three-day celebration. The researchers will bring science out of the laboratory and into the pub, delivering talks over three nights in some of Lincoln’s top venues: The Cardinal’s Hat, The Pessimist and DoughLoco, covering a plethora of topics – ranging from rewilding to nanotechnology, and social connection in sport.

Talks will include “Children’s quest for justice: A peek into their moral world” – exploring how children navigate moral dilemmas and decide right from wrong, “Mum, Dad, donor: Mitochondrial disease and designer babies” – covering the groundbreaking technique of IVF using dna from three parents, and “Exploring strange new worlds: How might Star Trek act as a blueprint for the colonisation of space?” – discovering whether or not the well-loved sci-fi series could provide us with a blueprint for interplanetary travel and the possibilities of living on another world!
