Hi, I’m Ira - the person behind Think&Drink Different.By day, I work in User Experience, with nearly 20 years in the IT world. By heart, I’m endlessly curious. I studied cognitive psychology and philosophy of science, and I’ve always been drawn to big questions and sharp minds.

Over the years, I kept showing up to lectures, talks, and courses—chasing new perspectives. But something always felt missing. I wanted depth without the distance. Experts without the stage. A space where people could learn, think, and talk together—over a drink. So I built it.

Think&Drink Different brings science, philosophy, psychology, and more into everyday spaces. Each event features a live talk by a researcher or expert—followed by open conversation. Real ideas, made social.

I personally curate every event and speaker. These aren’t random academics—they’re engaging, passionate, and brilliant at explaining what they do. Whether it’s black holes or moral dilemmas, AI or the brain, you’ll hear ideas that stick—and you’ll get to talk about them, too.

Curious people. Good drinks. A welcoming atmosphere. You can come solo or with friends. You don’t need a PhD—just curiosity. This isn’t about watching from the sidelines. It’s about joining the conversation.
