Enjoy a black coffee while you learn about black holes. Sip a cold brew and contemplate comets, or discuss extraterrestrials over an espresso. Spacing out over your drink is encouraged with\u00a0CoffeeShop Astrophysics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Run by graduate students in UW-Milwaukee\u2019s Physics Department, CoffeeShop Astrophysics is a program that brings cosmic education to coffee drinkers once a month at\u00a0Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co.<\/a>\u00a0in Milwaukee\u2019s Walker\u2019s Point neighborhood. During the school year, students take turns delivering a 45-minute presentation on topics ranging from gravitational waves to the Voyager probes to space debris. That\u2019s followed by a Q&A session with the audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a nice little Venn diagram of people who definitely come to our talks specifically \u2026 and then we still get those people who are just regulars at Anodyne on a Saturday afternoon,\u201d said Gabe Freedman, a PhD student who coordinates the CoffeeShop Astrophysics group.<\/p>\n

CoffeeShop Astrophysics is not the only program to talk about outer space over a drink. If you ever want to pair the cosmos (the stars) with cosmos (the cocktail), programs like\u00a0Astronomy on Tap<\/a>\u00a0have chapters across the United States, including one at UW-Madison, where students and educators can share their astronomy knowledge with patrons at bars and breweries. In fact, CoffeeShop Astrophysics has a friendly relationship with Madison\u2019s group, and the two swap presenters at least once a year.<\/p>\n

But at a coffee shop, said Freedman, the UWM physics students speak to a different demographic, like families with young children or older people who may not want to go out for a drink in the evenings.<\/p>\n

Building community connections<\/h2>\n

Building those community connections is important to Freedman. Not only does the program raise visibility for UWM, but it opens the public\u2019s eyes to science they may have never encountered before.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people out there who have an interest, and they may not have a community-based avenue to approach that interest,\u201d Freedman said. \u201cCoffeeShop Astrophysics is another way to engage with the public. Otherwise, maybe their only avenue to approach this interest is a Google search or a few YouTube videos. This gives them a way to talk to somebody who understands it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Akash Anumarlapudi, another physics PhD student and one of the CoffeeShop Astrophysics presenters: \u201cIt\u2019s natural interest to learn about these things. People want to know about these things, and people want to talk about these things in a way that they understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Freedman and Anumarlapudi joined the group after attending several coffee shop talks and getting excited about the possibility of delivering their own. The group meets at the beginning of each school year to sign up for their date to deliver a talk and brainstorm topics. If there are any timely discoveries \u2013 like when scientists, including some from UWM, announced the detection of\u00a0low-frequency gravitational waves<\/a>\u00a0last year \u2013 the students will try to focus at least one talk about that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve given talks now for 10 years,\u201d Freedman said. \u201cI think we\u2019re approaching 80 presentations, so sooner or later, we\u2019re starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel of topics. But the field always changes. There\u2019s always new stuff to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Started a decade ago<\/h2>\n

CoffeeShop Astrophysics was started a decade ago by Sydney Chamberlin, a physics graduate student at the time who secured a small grant from the American Physical Society to do a series of small talks as an outreach program in Milwaukee. Already plugged into the city\u2019s coffee scene, she chose Anodyne Coffee as her locale. It turned out to be quite popular \u2013 so popular, Freedman said, that the program has continued with funding from within the Physics Department.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has since been passed down from graduate student to graduate student, and hopefully will continue,\u201d said Freedman.<\/p>\n

This month, it\u2019s Anumarlapudi\u2019s turn to carry the torch. He and two other graduate students will deliver a talk on \u201cCosmic Clutter\u201d<\/a> on Saturday, Nov. 23.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main theme is to talk about satellites,\u201d he explained. \u201cWhy do we need to put satellites up in space at all? \u2026 Right now, we\u2019re at an age where building satellites commercially is very possible. For example, SpaceX builds Starlink satellites, which usually cost somewhere from $300-500,000 nowadays. But at what point is it (the amount of satellites) too much? What effect does it have down on the ground?\u201d<\/p>\n

Helps the students too<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s not to mention the space junk and debris that result from degrading or colliding satellites, he added. When does it become a problem? And when it does, how can we solve it?<\/p>\n

He\u2019s excited to give the talk not only because he wants to share his love of astrophysics, but also because the talks help the students grow as educators.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the talks do not directly overlap with what we study, so it\u2019s nice to talk about other topics and try to explain it to people in ways they understand,\u201d said Anumarlapudi. \u201cYou need to explain complex concepts in very simple terms. It\u2019s quite fun and challenging in some ways, and there\u2019s a lot of interest from people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0So grab your latte, pull up a chair, and join CoffeeShop Astrophysics to learn about the mysteries of the universe.<\/p>\n
