Astronomy on Tap is back in SF Wednesday 8/19 at Standard Deviant in the mission!

This is a free public lecture series where professional astronomers give short, laid-back talks over drinks at local bars, no background in science required. This month, we're hosting:

Jean Somalwar (Stanford/UC Berkeley) - If You Give a Black Hole a Cookie

and

Steve Croft (UC Berkeley) - Can Artificial Intelligence Discover Extraterrestrial Intelligence?

Croft is an Adjunct Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute and Project Scientist for the Breakthrough Listen project. Somalwar is a joint MultiRAPTOR Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Berkeley and Kavli Fellow at Stanford.
