This week we will introduce the new seminar series NAUTILUS (sailor in Ancient Greek). NAUTILUS seminars will sail us through informal, non-technical and exciting talks, sharing different views and life experiences that can inspire us into new ways of thinking about Science and how communicate it. Be brave, be there! ;)
