Pune Science on Tap started as an idea to bring together scientists and the public in a casual environment. The aim is to get people talking about science while having a drink, and to help everyone realise that science and scientists are neither scary nor boring.
Pune is known as the 'Oxford of the East' due to the large number of research and educational institutions in the city. However, the knowledge outreach to the general public is still limited. Even more so to the new age audience who regularly get out for a drink and are not exposed to scientific discussions.
We aim to plug this gap - first, to make sure that the public get direct access to the researchers in Pune in a casual environment and second, to show that drinking is not a bad thing if done in the right circumstances.
