Lectures on Tap is a lecture night series where professors, experts, and storytellers give thought-provoking lectures inside bars all over the country.
🧠 Lecture: “Quantum Entanglement and the Nature of Reality”
🎤 Speaker: Prof. Anshul Kogar
📍 Location: Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles
⚛️ We gathered for a mind-bending evening as UCLA physicist Prof. Anshul Kogar took us into the strange world of quantum entanglement—a phenomenon Einstein famously described as “spooky action at a distance.”
🔬 From particles that exhibit mysterious correlations across vast distances to experiments that challenge our everyday understanding of the universe, Prof. Kogar explored why quantum entanglement forces scientists to rethink some of the most fundamental concepts in physics, including locality, causality, and the very nature of reality itself.
🎓 Anshul Kogar is an experimental physicist at UCLA whose research investigates the strange behaviors of quantum systems in the laboratory, helping us better understand the fundamental principles that govern our universe.

Lectures on Tap is a lecture night series where professors, experts, and storytellers give thought-provoking lectures inside bars all over the country.
🧠 Lecture: “The Possibility of Democracy: A Mathematical Argument”
🎤 Speaker: Professor Ismar Volić
📍 Location: Boston
🗳️ We gathered for a thought-provoking evening as Professor Ismar Volić explored what mathematics can teach us about democracy—and whether our role as citizens could extend far beyond simply casting a ballot.
🔢 From the 18th-century Condorcet Jury Theorem to modern social choice theory, Professor Volić explored the mathematics behind collective decision-making and how ideas like citizens’ assemblies and participatory budgeting can change the ways communities participate in government. He also examined how emerging technologies, including AI and algorithmic design, could shape these forms of participation in the future.
📚 Ismar Volić is a Professor of Mathematics and Director of the Institute for Mathematics and Democracy at Wellesley College. He is the author of numerous articles and books, including the prize-winning *Making Democracy Count*, and has delivered hundreds of lectures worldwide. His writing has appeared in outlets including The Hill, TIME, and LitHub.

People in D.C. are packing into night clubs for an unexpected kind of headliner: PhDs.
“What are all these PhD’s doing at the club?” Well in D.C., scientists, researchers, and PhDs are now taking their work out of universities and brining it into nightclubs where they’re giving 45-minute lectures for people to listen to over drinks.
This means that on any given night, you might stroll into a club or lounge but instead of seeing a DJ taking the stage, you might find a neuroscientist or a molecular biologist.
@lecturesontap is a lecture night series where professors and experts give interesting lectures inside of bars, breweries, and nightclubs all over the country.
They’re producing 90+ lectures a month with chapters in DC, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, LA, NYC, Philadelphia, Seattle, and San Francisco… and they’re selling out.
This is part of a broader shift in what a night out can look like.
People are looking for places to meet, have a drink, and actually do something thought-provoking together — and intellectual nightlife is becoming part of the social calendar. Lectures, reading clubs, and other curiosity-driven gatherings are giving people a reason to go out that doesn’t revolve solely around loud music or dancing.
Taking professors and experts out of the academy and putting them in the places where people already gather, makes big ideas feel less like school and more like nightlife.
The nerds aren’t staying home anymore. They’re taking over the night club, and we’re so here for it.
So… would you rather spend your Friday night at night club listening to a DJ — or a research scientist?
