Astronomy on Tap was formed in New York City in 2013 by Meg Schwamb and Emily Rice. Previously, Meg had organized two Astronomy Uncorked events at a wine bar in New Haven, CT while she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, and Emily was looking for an excuse to socialize with other astronomers as faculty on the tenure-track. After the first (immensely successful, if we do say so ourselves) Astronomy on Tap event at the Way Station in Brooklyn on April 9, 2013, Meg, Emily, and others coordinated several more events in NYC, including the first one in uptown Manhattan and, still somewhat unbelievably, Astronomy on Deck in the Space Shuttle Pavilion at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (pinch us!).
As quickly as the events gained popularity in NYC, they also spread to other locations! You see, the astronomy field fosters a wonderfully international scientific community, and astronomers tend to travel widely for research, conferences, collaborations, and career development.
The idea for Astronomy on Tap gained traction quickly – folks from all over were interested to hear about space and learn about it in the cozy ambience of their local pub.Astronomy on Tap continued planting its roots as it appeared in other countries including Chile, Canada, and Taipei. By the end of 2014, AoT events had expanded to nine cities and four countries across three continents.
