Lecture and Stargazing - How to Rip Apart a Star
Lecturer: Samantha Wu
Lecture Captain: Cameron Hummels
Lecture Volunteers (2): Nitika Yadlapalli, Ryan Rubenzahl
Attendees: 70
Solid presentation on some complicated topics. Good discussion in Q&A.
Streamed to YouTube, Facebook, and now Twitter. It's hard to track the twitter viewership,
but I still think it's worth doing.

Monday, January 24, 7:30-9:30PM

Astronomy on Tap Online
MC: Cameron Hummels
Speakers (2): Amy Mainzer, Dmitry Duev
Attendees: 100
Great presentations and lively interaction throughout.
Changed up the format based on speaker feedback, and added comments/questions throughout
the presentations from the host and other speaker to make it more conversational.
This seemed to work pretty well, more analogous to a podcast interview but with slides.
We may include this format again in the future.
