Curiosity Forum: Can my 5-year old make that?

No jargon. No marks. No prerequisites. Curiosity Forum brings top academics to Patch York to share their knowledge over a pint or two.
About this Event

Have you ever wanted to dive into a massive idea without having to slog through a 400-page textbook?

Curiosity Forum is a brand-new evening series at Patch York designed for anyone who loves learning cool stuff, minus the academic fluff. We’re bringing top-tier researchers out of the lecture halls and into a relaxed venue to talk about the topics they are genuinely obsessed with.

Think of it as the ultimate pub chat—where the speaker really, really knows their stuff.

What to Expect

• Zero Jargon: Complex, mind-bending topics broken down into engaging, accessible stories.
• Interactive Q&A: A judgment-free zone. Ask whatever you want—no question is too basic, silly, or out-there.
• Casual Vibe: Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy an evening of great conversation.
• Good Company: Meet fellow York locals who share a passion for learning new things just for the fun of it.
