Pubhd! Fantastic communication opportunity for phd students in Nottingham.   I encourage others to take up the idea!
This from the blog http://pubhd.wordpress.com/about/
Can you explain your PhD in the pub?

PubhD is monthly event that started up in Nottingham on January 22, 2014.

At each event, three PhD* students, from any academic discipline, explain their work to an audience in a pub in exchange for a pint or two.

PubhD has a very simple format and the idea is now spreading around the country.

If you are interested in becoming a speaker at a PubhD event, please get in touch.

*EngD and EdD students, and post-docs, also welcome!

Royal institution website

The Royal Institution also has a great website

Lots of useful educational tools

A great example of using science fiction (the one and only Dr Who) as a basis for a real science discussion!  (this is a serious and prestigious science journal!...and who said scientists are boring!)
