Pub Scholar Presents - "Star Formation in the Universe"

Lectures by professors and subject experts on mind-stimulating topics, served up at cool Bay Area bars.

Date: Wednesday, March 25, 2026 🌙

Time: 6:30 PM ⏳

Location: Headlands Brewing (on campus - 2465 Bancroft Way) 🍻

Lecture: “Star Formation in the Universe” 🤖

Speaker: Dr. Christopher McKee, PhD, Professor (UC Berkeley) & Astrophysicist 🧠

In the cold silence of space, gravity begins its quiet work. Vast clouds of gas collapse. Pressure builds. Light ignites. A star is born.

Join Professor McKee, astrophysicist, for a sweeping journey into the cosmic nurseries where stars take shape. We’ll explore how gravity sculpts galaxies, how nuclear fusion turns darkness into brilliance, and how the elements forged in ancient stars eventually became the atoms in your body.

This isn’t just astronomy — it’s an origin story.
