Pint of Science 2025 fills the bars with science!
Two IMB-CNM researchers gave two talks and another postdoctoral researcher was on the organizing committee in Barcelona.
Pint of Science is an international science communication festival that aims to bring science closer to the general public in a relaxed, informal setting, typically bars. Each year, over three days in May, researchers from a variety of disciplines present their work in an engaging and accessible way, encouraging direct dialogue with attendees. The event takes place simultaneously in different Spanish cities, including Barcelona, and is organized by volunteers who are passionate about sharing science with society.
This year, staff from IMB-CNM took part in the Pint of Science festival, either by sharing their research with the public as speakers or by helping to bring the event to life as organisers.
Ferran Pujol Vila is a postdoctoral researcher in the Micro and Nano Tools Group (MNTL) at IMB-CNM and Yohana López Aparicio is a technician in the Chemical Transducers Group (GTQ). Maria d’Antuono, a postdoctoral researcher specialized in quantum technologies at IMB-CNM, also participated in the organizing committee of the events in Barcelona.

Ciencia anti-pánico: cómo hacer que tu cuñado pierda el miedo a los chips
- Yohana López Aparicio
- Wednesday 21 May, Kasa Hanaka Mas Guinardó (Barcelona)
Your brother-in-law says that "chips are just a trend" while watching soccer on his 4K TV, cooking with the air fryer, and hearing better than ever thanks to his new hearing aid. Spoiler: Microelectronics has already changed his life (even if he doesn't realize it). In this chat, we're going to dispel, with humor and science, that fear of the "future" that many people have, and maybe even get them to go from asking you, "So, do you have a partner yet?" to, "Have you heard about the chips for Alzheimer's?" at the next Christmas dinner.
