Astro on Tap & taste of science NYC present: Silly Science

Celebrating April Fools Day and other silliness

Tues 4/16, 6:45pm doors, 7pm-8:15pm sharp

at Pete's Candy Store


Join us for the 140th Astronomy on Tap NYC event, and the next in our monthly series at Pete’s Candy Store!

Astronomy on Tap is fun and informative, with professional scientists and educators, plus games, prizes, and a bit of learning while drinking.

After all the eclipse craziness, it’s important to remember what April is really about. This month, we celebrate foolishness as we kick off the taste of science festival here in NY! Co-hosted by Brian Levine, aka MC Tycho Brewhaha, and Kaitlin Schmidt, aka Annie Drunk Cannon, we are welcoming the following two silly speakers:
•Mark Popinhalk (he/him), AMNH Astro, speaking about eclipses past and present and what might have seen them.
•Iman Behbehani (she/her), CUNY Grad Center, who will provide an in depth look into the comedic nature of the history of physics.

Doors open at 6:45pm, event start at 7pm SHARP. Arrive early to get your seats, grab a drink, and settle in for science talks, trivia, prizes, and fun!
