Join us at Contrast Public House for two evenings of pub science talks and quizzes! Each night, two researchers from biology, astronomy, psychology, and more, will share their stories and insights in a casual setting. You can also win fun prizes in our scientific quizzes.

Pint of Science is an annual science festival that takes place every May worldwide. Our goal is to bring scientists to local venues to share the latest happenings in research. This is the perfect opportunity to meet people shaping tomorrow's science!

Quiz starts 19.20

Shapes and sensations

Julie Rowlett (Professor)

How does the shape of your glass influence the taste of your drink? Mathematically, we use geometry to describe shapes, and we use partial differential equations to describe many physical processes, including diffusion which is related to the experience of taste, as well as vibrations which create the sounds we hear. My research explores the connections between shapes and physical processes using mathematics, and I'll try to give you a sense of how that works.
