Overview

Join us for our Monthly Member Meet Up at Bickerson Brewhouse in Ballard.

Our speaker this month will be Dr. Joanne Hughes, an astronomer and Associate Professor of Physics at Seattle University, as well as an Affiliate Associate Professor in the Astronomy Department at the University of Washington. She earned her Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Queen Mary, University of London

Her talk will explore how globular clusters can be used to trace the Milky Way’s assembly history, particularly through the detection of tidal tails and the identification of stars stripped from these dense stellar
systems. (see below for more details about her talk and bio)

We'll start things off at 6:30pm for mix & mingle + new member orientation. Our president will give some updates on what the club is up to and then we'll hear from Dr. Joanne Hughes. 

All ages welcome and open to the public! Bickerson Brewhouse features Cycle Dogs, a vegan hot dog/burger stand which is really tasty. The event will be held in their back patio which is covered and heated.
