What happens when highly educated researchers try explaining complex science to a room full of slightly drunk internationals?

We’re about to find out.

Welcome to:

“Explain Your Research / PhD to Drunk People”

— a chaotic, social, and surprisingly educational night where PhDs, researchers, scientists, and academics present their work to a curious non-academic audience.

• a microphone

• a screen + PowerPoint

• and one impossible challenge:

Explain your research simply enough for drunk people to understand it.

No academic jargon.

No 45-minute lectures.

No unreadable graphs.

Just:

🧠 interesting ideas
