About

Astronomy on Tap ATX was founded in November of 2014 by Dr. Rachael Livermore and Dr. Jeffrey Silverman. We have hosted an event every month since that time, starting at Easy Tiger and finally settling in at The North Door. Starting in 2016, AoTATX was hosted by Dr. Brandon Bozek and Raquel Martinez. Taking over for them in 2018 was Dr. Aaron Lee and Rebecca Larson. Dr. Micaela Bagley took over for Dr. Lee through 2020. Today, AoTATX is hosted by Lindsay House and Jed McKinney. Our team of space cadets consists of many graduate students, post-docs, research scientists, professors, and former astronomers who help with everything from merchandise ordering, to intro video production, to marketing.
