    October: Talks, tapas & tiny homes🏡

    October has been packed full of activities, including talks on entrepreneurship, the science of alternative proteins & AI safety, as well as coworking and a visit to a tiny home. We hope you enjoy reminiscing or experiencing fomo (sorry!), and that we can keep this great momentum going into November.

    Of course, we enjoyed our usual coworking session at Sopa, this time sharing ideas on global health, the fashion industry and troubleshooting some problems with our website :D

    Tiny home visit!

    Despite the rainy weather, a group of us made it out to La Floresta to visit our member Jakob’s tiny home (30 square metres!). We enjoyed a special tour, a delicious felafel lunch and played an interesting boardgame called “Quarto”. We thank Jakob and his wife Helena for hosting us 🙏
