Curiosity Forum: What's it Like to be an Octopus?

Join Robert Barton, Professor in the Antrhopology Department at the University of Durhman, to finally answer one of the field's most compelling questions: "What's it like to be an octopus?"

After a successful first event in October, we are running another event, and pivoting the theme - but not the vibe!

• An Engaging, 30-Minute Presentation: Where you can learn in a relaxed setting.
• Interactive Q&A: A judgment-free zone. Ask whatever you want—no question is too basic, silly, or out-there.
• A Free Drink: Your ticket covers the cost of the distinguished speaker's time, and one free drink (non-alcoholic options available)
• Good Company: Meet fellow York locals who share a passion for learning new things just for the fun of it.

Curiosity Forum is a brand-new lecture series at Patch York designed for anyone who loves learning cool stuff, minus the academic fluff.

We’re bringing top-tier researchers into a relaxed venue to talk about the topics they are genuinely obsessed with so you can learn a thing or two!

Think of it as the ultimate pub chat—where the speaker really, really knows their stuff.
