If you're a fiend for a YouTube video with your dinner, or are simply looking for a different way to get out of the house and learn something new to aid your cool Aunt/Uncle lore, this is made for you.
Inspired by the original Lectures on Tap over in America, this activation brings industry experts into bars to give talks about their research. Think two 25-minute talks with a break in between, giving you plenty of time to head to the bar for another pint or a spot of dinner.

This particular activation is ideal for introverts, curious minds, or people just looking for something different on a Wednesday night. Below, you'll find details about the talks being discussed and the people giving them.

'Code, Curiosity, and Crime: Youth journeys into cybercrime and what we can do about it' by Professor Russel Brewer
Our research explores how everyday digital experiences can steer some young people towards cybercrime. Drawing on a survey of nearly 1,000 Australian adolescents over a five-year period, we study how features of the online world, such as platform anonymity, easy access to information, and online peer networks, can influence involvement in activities ranging from hacking and online fraud to cyberbullying and digital piracy.
