An IAU astronomy tweetup is taking place tonight in Rio de Janeiro after the end of the conference. I already announced this on twitter but I thought I’d add a few more details here for those who’d like to attend.
Venue: Bar Manoel e Joaquim, on the corner of Rua Barao de Torres and Rua Farme de Amoedo, in Ipanema. It’s a cosy looking place that serves food as well as drinks. I imagine most people will have a bite to eat but I’m not expecting to have a proper sit-down dinner. Check out the menu on their website. Note that this bar is part of a chain with several locations in Rio – so make sure you’re in the right place!
Date: today, 6 August
Time: A discussion session is running until 19:00, so let’s meet between 19:30 and 20:00.
Who: Bring a pal. Try hard to get them to join twitter beforehand though.
Transport: The Rio MetroBus (the shiny ones labelled Metro Na Superficie) from metro station Siqueira Campos stops at the Praca General Osorio (the second stop from Campos), which is just one block from the bar. You could of course also share a taxi with the pals you’re bringing.
