## Resource

Canterbury University’s “Raising the Bar” event is bringing 20 scientists to nine local bars on September 15th to demystify research in a fun, accessible way—topics range from microplastics and AI’s impact on creativity to volcano prediction and ancient Rome. Free to attend, it’s part of a global initiative now in its fourth year, offering a chill space to geek out on science without the lecture hall vibe. Register at rtbevent.com/rtbchch2026.
