Peers n Pubs: Take a Fin-Tastic Bite Out of Science!

Your friends at taste of science have a new regular event where scientists share the secrets behind how science is made and published as they host a non-specialist guest and go over a recent publication. Don’t miss Peers ‘n’ Pubs first ever event!

On Saturday, August 15th, we’ll have a special something for you, in honor of Shark Week! Anabela Maia, PhD, a New England marine biologist, will break down her recent work regarding the hydrodynamic function of dorsal fins in sharks. She will be joined by her friend, Ren Whitaker, who will ask questions, call out jargon, and ensure we don’t get too crazy technical!

This will be an interactive event with live polls and fun trivia via Kahoot.com!

If you want the full interactive experience, make sure to register for the event through zoom.

This event will also be streamed to Facebook Live.

Can’t wait to see you all!
