Wet-n-Nerdy: Thailand Biodiversity Chats

A relaxed evening with snacks and beverages to learn about some of the latest (mostly marine for now) biodiversity research and conservation efforts happening in Thailand today! Various practitioners and experts from a variety of backgrounds will share the good, the bad and the beautiful of the latest in biodiversity documentation and conservation across Thailand.
We're happy to present events with a series of short talks, friendly discussion and QnA to bring the wilderness a little closer to home.

If you are the kind of nerd like us, and things like TED talks feel like fun, not homework, this may be for you!

• Topics range from new species discoveries and new habitats being studied, to species at risk and the complex interactions in the natural world.

• Speakers will always be a mix of Thai and non-Thai specialists but chats and presentations will be in English.

• Our cosy venue, MaBuHi café and bar, has a wide selection of food, beverages and other consumables! To encourage a relaxed conversation, we are hoping to keep events relatively small.

• The talks and discussion are aimed at a non-academic, non-technical audience! However, the themes may occasionally touch on sensitive topics and the space is also a bar so we are keeping attendance to adults

• Events are totally free but we encourage grabbing a drink and a snack to support the team! If you'd like to support any of the organisations or researchers doing this work, you're welcome to do so but this is not a requirement!

• Our amazing venue has a pair of adorable and friendly cats, that personally booked their attendance to the talks earlier than others. Of course, we must concede to our feline friends, so attendees with allergies, you’ve been warned!

ps: The format is like Pint of Science for those that know. But less structured and more chatty and wildlife-y
