Public talks

Astronomy on Tap

Science is fun! Science is interesting!

Astronomy on Tap is a world-wide program in which professional astronomers give informal science talks in local bars, followed by astronomy-themed trivia and q&a. Each event consists of two 20-minute talks on some aspect of astronomy/astrophysics with trivia and space science.

The local chapter by MKI grad students organizes public talks at local watering holes, cafes and bookstores.
