BIOTALK

After talking about it 3 times in the staff newsletters, Biotalk: 3D Printing with Organic Matter is finally happening today! If you still have no clue what is going to be talked about, here you go, a one-line summary: the guest speakers will explore the subject of applying organisms to new production methods and material development. It is going to be very inspiring - see you there!

WORKSHOP FOR KIDDIES

Workshop: Schilderen met Levende Beestjes is happening again this Saturday. It will be the same workshop as the previous one where kids can draw with bacteria on petri dishes, so in the end the drawing can grow! Very interesting workshop, only in Nederlands sorry! Also, a big plus is that parents can join their children for free. Have some nephews and nieces that are interested? Get in touch with Rosa.

BEER-BREWING WORKSHOP

The workshop last Saturday was a blast! It was a fantastic sunny afternoon in the greenhouse, with beer brewer Simon. Participants not only learnt brewing, but also tasted quite a lot of different beers. Candy, Eli, Mirna and Rosalie participated, and they brewed some nice ones. Rosalie was part of the group brewing IPA, whilst the rest of the four brewed the Smokey Orange Stout with one more participants. Miss it? Not to worry, two other beer workshops are on the way!
