Join observational cosmologist Clara Vergès as she explains how this unique observatory peers back in time to the moments just after the Big Bang.By measuring the cosmic microwave background with extraordinary precision, scientists can place tight constraints on the physics of the early Universe. But the signal is fragile: astrophysical foregrounds and instrumental systematics threaten to overwhelm it. Clara will share how cutting-edge instrument modeling, systematic studies, and data analysis help disentangle these effects and reveal our cosmic origins.Clara Vergès is a Staff Scientist in the Physics Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and a member of the BICEP collaboration. She completed her PhD at APC in Paris in 2020 and was a Harvard Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Astrophysics until 2024.Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌Agenda6:30 PM – Doors open: find a seat (open seating!), order food & drinks, and expect a bar line—arriving early is key.6:55 PM – Host introduction7:00 PM – Lecture begins7:45 PM – Audience Q&A8:00 PM – Have 1:1 time with the speaker, mingle with fellow guests, and order another round8:30 PM – Wrap up. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/berkeley/lectures-on-tap-studying-the-universe-from-the-bottom-of-the-world/100002001248363728 - **Event Categories**: fitness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Southside Berkeley - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Berkeley - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Southside Berkeley - **lat**: 37.865129 - **long**: -122.258466 - **full address**: Southside Berkeley, Southside Berkeley, Berkeley, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Lectures on Tap - Studying the Universe from the Bottom of the World - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/fbf09e1f785fc6b90d32b422d34795352957f0e142d630cf045aa962fe3a2479-rimg-w1200-h600-dce8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1790735531 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Lectures on Tap - Studying the Universe from the Bottom of the World being held? - **A:** Lectures on Tap - Studying the Universe from the Bottom of the World takes place on Mon, 19 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Mon, 19 Oct, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Southside Berkeley, Southside Berkeley, Berkeley, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Lectures on Tap - Studying the Universe from the Bottom of the World? - **A:** Lectures on Tap - Studying the Universe from the Bottom of the World is organized by Felecia For The Win. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Lectures on Tap - Studying the Universe from the Bottom of the World", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/fbf09e1f785fc6b90d32b422d34795352957f0e142d630cf045aa962fe3a2479-rimg-w1200-h600-dce8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1790735531", "startDate": "2026-10-19T18:30:00-07:00", "endDate": "2026-10-19T20:30:00-07:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/berkeley/lectures-on-tap-studying-the-universe-from-the-bottom-of-the-world/100002001248363728", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Southside Berkeley", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Southside Berkeley", "postalCode": "94704", "addressLocality": "Berkeley", "addressRegion": "CA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "37.865129", "longitude": "-122.258466" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Professors, experts, and storytellers giving thought-provoking lectures in SF bars.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-30", "availabilityEnds": "2026-10-19T20:30:00-07:00", "validFrom": "2026-09-30", "lowPrice": "39.19", "highPrice": "39.19", "price": "39.19", "url": "https://allevents.in/berkeley/lectures-on-tap-studying-the-universe-from-the-bottom-of-the-world/100002001248363728" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-30", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-30", "url": "https://allevents.in/berkeley/lectures-on-tap-studying-the-universe-from-the-bottom-of-the-world/100002001248363728", "price": "39.19", "name": "Admission Ticket" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Felecia For The Win", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/felecia-for-the-win/24277484", "description": "Felecia is a software engineer, content creator, and host with over 700k followers across her social media platforms.
