— with more to come. Many meet monthly on the same day of the month at a local bar or pub. Nerd Nite perhaps puts it best on their website: “Be there and be square.”Another great opportunity to add a little learning to your next night at the bar is Astronomy on Tap. Like Nerd Nite, you’ll find local experts at the event, but this time they’ll be astronomers talking about black holes, what it would really take to live on Mars or some recently revealed secret of the solar system.
“Astronomy on Tap is a loosely coordinated, worldwide organization of public outreach events featuring presentations about astronomy from professional scientists, educators and more, at bars and other social venues. We started in NYC in April 2013, after Dr. Meg Schwamb organized two “Astronomy Uncorked” events at a wine bar in New Haven, before I helped her bring a similar event to Brooklyn and rebrand as Astronomy on Tap.
Last May the fourth, Astronomy on Tap San Antonio hosted a science of Star Wars event. Here, Dr. Angela Speck, astrophysicist at the University of Texas at San Antonio, shares what’s actually required to obliterate a planet and what the movies did and didn’t get right, while sporting an awesome R2D2 dress.
Whatever your interests and ideal venue, more and more events are cropping up every day. So next time you’re looking for fun things to do, look to see if there’s a science event for adults near you, and be sure to check back often!
