Astronomy On Tap

Is anybody here familiar with Astronomy On Tap? Where “Scientists, educators, writers, artists & more reveal how they explore the universe at a bar near you!”

Click on “Locations” to find one near you. The Albuquerque chapter is fairly new and I’ve only been to one event. My brothers have been to two. They are a lot of fun and very informative. There’s another one tonight and we will definitely be there.

One of the speakers is Karishma Bansal, a graduate student at the Univ. of New Mexico. She’ll be talking about orbiting black holes. She is the first-author of a paper on the subject, recently published in The Astrophysical Journal.

I’m looking forward to it. It will also be streaming live at Twitch

It’s being held on the patio at Canteen Brewhouse, which has some excellent beers- and very good food as well.
