<p style="color:black"> Astronomy on Tap is a global organization started by astronomers in NYC to foster public awarness of astrophysical research, primarily through bars. The Salt Lake City chapter was started in 2022, and I took over as the organizer and host in 2023. In the past three years, I have over doubled the number of attendees (our record is >130!! people) per event, and have in total reached hundreds of people. Through my work on AoT, I have also developed strong connections between the astronomy community, local businesses, and the general public in SLC. I also worked closely with graduate students in other departments to advise on the creation of a more general Science on Tap, which has proven similarly successful. </p>
