Much like the universe in its first nanoseconds, Astronomy on Tap has undergone inflation to a much larger size. Our next event will be at DNA Lounge on Tuesday, Feb. 21st at 7:30 pm, and we have an astronomical lineup to celebrate! Brian Levine of AoT NYC will perform a “brutal dissection” of the Animaniacs song “Yakko’s Universe.” Berkeley scientist Michael Medford will follow with a discussion of his search for Planet 9. Finally, Stanford professor Risa Wechsler will share with us the legacy of Vera Rubin, a scientist who broke new ground both in astrophysics and for women in science. We’ll also feature Astronomy in the News and trivia (with prizes), and the event is FREE and open to all ages!

Remember, space is always better with beer!

Location: DNA Lounge, San Francisco, CA

Time: 7:30 pm

An event of great cosmic significance is approaching: the Stanford-Berkeley Big Game! Astronomy on Tap wants to celebrate and negotiate peace between rivals by featuring astronomers from both universities! Stanford and Berkeley scientists will discuss simulating the cosmic web and listening for extraterrestrial intelligence. Make sure to join us again at Black Hammer Brewing in San Francisco on Tuesday, November 1st at 8pm. We’ll also have some fun interactive trivia sessions, with sweet prizes!
