Pint of Science 2025 (Day 1)
Inside Out: Our Bodies, Our Environment, Our Science
What connects our bodies, the oceans, and even the air we breathe? In this session, we dive into the hidden stories unfolding all around us—and inside us. From cutting-edge tech that tracks our health through breath, to the silent invasion of microplastics in our seas, and a self-cloning parasite that’s rewriting medical playbooks, our speakers explore the delicate balance between environment, science, and survival. Come see how today’s discoveries are helping us better understand our health and the world we live in—inside and out.

Breaking the Silence: Conversations That Save Lives in HIV Prevention
Aj. Smith Boonchutima
Chulalongkorn University
In our fight against HIV, the most powerful tool isn't found in a medical lab—it's found in our courage to speak openly about prevention. These conversations, though often difficult to initiate, create bridges of understanding that connect vulnerable communities with life-saving information and resources.

The Hidden Life of Ocean Microplastics
Dr. Suppakarn Jandang
Center for Ocean Plastics Studies (COPS), Kyushu University, based at Chulalongkorn University
Beneath the waves, an invisible crisis unfolds as microplastics infiltrate every level of marine ecosystems, from plankton to predators. These tiny fragments, often smaller than a grain of sand, travel vast distances on ocean currents, accumulating toxins and working their way through food chains with consequences we're only beginning to understand.
