Hi all,
I am a physics student taking his last year of Msc. Some friends of mine and I are thinking to make an evening of popular science. We were thinking to organize the event in a pub, inviting people that haven't a scientific training. Divide the people between the tables where each one of the 'hosts' will talk about a specific topic for max 10 minutes. And then starting a conversation with people, while sharing a drink together.
The event should last at max for 1 hour(ex. 9-10 pm)

I ask for people with scientific training and in particular with some experience in divulgation. Is this possible? Does it make sense such event format? Thank you,
