“Astronomy on Tap” Laid Back Lecture Series at Local Bars (SF)

Astronomy on Tap is is a public lecture series where astronomers give short, laid-back talks over drinks at local bars. No background in science required — our scientists share cool stuff about space while the audience just sits back and relaxes, with plenty of time to indulge their curiosity and ask whatever questions they want.

This month, we’re hosting:

Clara Vergès, PhD – A window to the Universe from the bottom of the world: How Antarctic Telescopes Explore Our Cosmic Origins

and

Ryan Wyatt – From Atoms to Us: Astrophysics Simulations Visualizing How Elements Are Created in Stars and Supernovae

Vergès is a Staff Scientist in the Physics Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Wyatt is Vice President of Science Visualization and Public Engagement at the American Museum of Natural History.

Astronomy on Tap takes place in cities all over the world. This is a revival of the San Francisco chapter, which regularly hosted events before the pandemic. We’re excited to be back on a monthly basis!

The event is free, but there is a 1-2 drink minimum.
