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.

Researchers get:
• 5–10 minutes
• 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
