Speakers will give talks on neuroscience, supercomputing, 3D printing, brewing science, herpetology, and much more.
For example, Herpetologist Michael Ogle with Zoo Knoxville has been studying the critically endangered Bog Turtle northeastern Tennessee for 30 years.
Saw Works Brewing Company, Crafty Bastard Brewery, and Last Days of Autumn Brewing Company will each host two speakers every night from 7:00 to 9:00. Tickets to attend cost $5 per night and are available online through the Pint of Science website pintofscience.us/events/Knoxville.
