Reading time: about 5 minutesStudents and Ithaca locals gathered on Sunday evening to grab drinks and learn about physics at Physics on Tap, a public event series organized by the Cornell Society of Physics Students that brings research from Cornell physics faculty to a public audience every semester. Hosted at Personal Best Brewery in downtown Ithaca, Sunday’s installment of Physics on Tap featured Prof. Natasha Holmes, physics, who spoke about introducing uncertainty, fostering critical thinking skills and other educational values in undergraduate physics courses. SPS hosted the first installment of Physics on Tap in Fall 2025 and hopes to continue hosting one to two events per semester, Joshi said. Holmes kicked off her talk by inviting the audience to share their thoughts on whether physics is objective or subjective. Emma Linscomb ’27, president of SPS, attended the event and emphasized the importance of public-facing science initiatives such as Physics on Tap.
