The very first Pint of Science Liverpool is coming and is brought to you by the University of Liverpool and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.

Join us for a very ‘Infectious’ evening! From the dark history of plague, to the future threat from antibiotic resistance, infectious diseases are a part of our lives and have shaped history. But what are these bugs? And how do we do battle with them? And what of the people they have already left in their wake? Professor Bill Paxton will be your host for the evening, and with some science poetry and a visit from some small but deadly disease carriers thrown in, you’re in for a non-stop evening of contagion and capers!
