Sustainability on Tap
Upslope Brewing Company (East Boulder)
Wednesday, May 20th

Hosted by the Sustainability Research Initiative (SRI), Sustainability on Tap is a monthly conversation series that brings sustainability research out of the classroom and into the community. Held this month at Upslope Brewing Company (East Boulder), the event creates a relaxed, welcoming space for dialogue, curiosity, and connection with the broader Boulder community.

Rather than a traditional academic lecture, this series is designed to feel like a conversation: thought provoking, accessible, and grounded in real world impact. Each month features researchers and practitioners sharing ideas that connect complex research to everyday life.

This Month's Featured Speakers:

• Eve Hinckley: Biogeochemist and lead of the Environmental Biogeochemistry Group, Eve-Lyn studies how human activity alters the fundamental processes of life on Earth. From California croplands to the peaks of Patagonia, her team uses isotope geochemistry and data analysis to track the health of fragile ecosystems. She is also a dedicated advocate for diversifying STEM education and mentoring undergraduate researchers.
• Danielle Beatty: A graduate researcher in the Living Materials Laboratory, Danielle focuses on using microorganisms to grow sustainable, biologically derived building materials. Her work aims to reduce the environmental footprint of the construction industry by reimagining materials design—from raw sourcing to end-of-life reuse.

Join us for an informal evening of discussion over drinks, where you can engage directly with the people doing meaningful sustainability work at CU Boulder and beyond. Whether you’re deeply immersed in sustainability research or simply curious, come spark a new connection!
