Jimena Mendizabal started her internship Exhibition realizing the new Bio shop at the Biotoop.

Please introduce yourself and give them a warm welcome, or a warm coffee :).
OLD CREW
Amy won't be around anymore as much as we would love. She will be here on events to take photo's so she won't be completely gone!
Unfortunately, some of us will be completely gone.. TOMORROW, at 17:30 (before Biotalk), we have to say goodbye to a lot of us: Antoni, Daniel, Emma, Koen Dos Tres, Kyra, Lukas, Naresh, Wim and myself (Lisa..). I know it is heartbreaking but we need to stay strong together. Maybe we can start a support group.
Tomorrow // Biotalk!
First Biotalk at this location! We will have two speakers: Bart Vanderput will talk about edible solar cells and Katharina Unger from LIVIN Studio shows how you can grow and eat fungi grown in toxic waste (plastic). For our guests there will be a fish soup served.
If you want to join the event, please let Anne know she can put you on the guestlist plus a friend, but only if you put your name + your friends name on the list!
Important stuff
When working at an event please keep the noise down and remember you are working, not drinking and partying! ;)
Tomorrow between 13:00-15:00 the kitchen will be occupied with a meeting with all neighbours. You can get coffee but you cannot use the kitchen for other purposes.
Containers are here for garbage: Devide your trash! Put your papertrash in the special bins located in every room.
New projects
Kunstformen der Natur on tour!
We will be working together with the Radboud Hospital Nijmegen to bring the Haeckel exposition to their hallway. A beautiful big public space where art and science can be combined. We are still waiting for the approval from the fire department because we are working with paper, as soon as we have permission we can start designing and hanging the posters again!
Zeger Reyers & Jasmin Moeller
Two projects have been confirmed with funding by Mondriaan Fonds yesterday. The first one is a collaboration with bio-designer Zeger Reyers. He has done some awesome projects in the past like the 'Mosselstoel', Rotating Kitchen and Hard Water. Secondly Mediamatic will be working together with Jasmin Moeller to create a garden project in which visitors are asked to answer questions by planting flower seeds.
