Astronomy on Tap SF - July 2026

the vibe

Astronomy on Tap SF is a free public lecture series held at Standard Deviant Brewing where local astronomers give casual talks about space and the cosmos while attendees enjoy drinks. On July 22, two speakers will present: Jessica Snyder from the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science will discuss deep space survival, and Luca Boccioli from UC Berkeley will explore neutrinos and supernovae. The event runs from 7 PM to 9 PM and requires no scientific background—it's designed for curious people to relax, listen to accessible talks, and ask questions. This is a revival of San Francisco's chapter of a worldwide lecture series that emphasizes laid-back discussion over formal presentation.
