title: Engaging the Public with Your Research.
abstract: Effectively communicating science and linking it to the 'real world' has important benefits for both scientists and society. Here we share our experience at Pint of Science, an initiative that encourages researchers to discuss their findings with the public and to engage in conversation in a relaxed setting. We discuss strategies towards organizing a scientific outreach event - big or small - and encourage you to get involved in a science festival near you.
