Abstract
The Pint of Science Festival is the largest annual international science festival. So far the event has been held simultaneously in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Australia but not in Asia. Pint of Science Thailand was held for the first time this year, in Thailand's capital, Bangkok. This article briefly discusses some of the successes, challenges, and lessons learnt associated with running the first Pint of Science event in Asia, a culture very different to the Western Hemisphere cities that have currently hosted Pint of Science events.
品脱科学节是最大的年度国际科学节。迄今为止,该活动在欧洲、北美、南美、非洲和澳大利亚同时举行,但亚洲没有。今年首次在泰国首都曼谷举行Science Thailand。本文简要讨论了在亚洲举办第一届Pint of Science活动的一些成功、挑战和经验教训。亚洲的文化与目前举办Pint of Science活动的西半球城市非常不同。
