Local astronomers talking about stars, planets, and the universe at your neighborhood bar. No PhD required.

Astronomy on Tap is is a free 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 sits back and relaxes, with plenty of time to indulge their curiosity and ask whatever questions they want.

This month, we're hosting:

Laura Schaefer (Stanford) - Exploring Lava Worlds with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope

and

Calvin Leung (UC Berkeley) - Finding the Missing Matter with Fast Radio Bursts

Schaefer is an Associate Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Stanford, and Leung is a Miller Fellow and former NASA Einstein Fellow at UC Berkeley in the Department of Astronomy, as well as a member of the CHIME/FRB Collaboration.

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!

NOTE: We are at Public Works this month, with more space for everyone! The event is still free, but the venue will ask you to fulfill the 1 drink minimum by buying a $13 drink ticket.
