Bock Beer Borrel

Bestuur
Dear Gyrini,
 
The summer is officially over now, temperatures are dropping, leaves are falling from the trees and we have some rainy days ahead of us. That can mean only one thing: Autumn’s coming. But don’t be sad, every cloud has a silver lining: The BockBeerBorrel!
On the 14th of October, our beloved pub will be transferred into an autumn paradise.
The Alcoholaat wants to welcome you in the Tegenstelling to come and enjoy 6 carefully selected and delicious bock beers. I hear you think: ‘But what if I get hungry?’ Well, there will be a delicious serving of the authentic Alcoholaat stew to satisfy your appetite. Let this evening be the beacon of light during these rainy autumn days! And the best thing is that the evening we have all been waiting for, is already in 3 weeks. So, we do not have to wait for long!
 
We hope that you will join us the 14th for an evening with some of the best things this season has to offer.
 
See you then!
 
Much love,
The Alcoholaat 

Vondelpark Clean-Up

Bestuur
Hey Gyrini,
 
The time has arrived as we can finally do fun activities together again! What better way to kick off the new academic year by reducing the pollution in our environment together.
 
Amsterdam’s beautiful Vondelpark is an attraction for all, but after a day in the sun, trash and litter are often left behind. To help reduce this waste problem, the Actcie has organized another fun Vondelpark clean-up activity on September 20th (14:00 – 15:30 h)!
Interested in lending a helping hand?
 
Save the date and sign up by sending an email to actcie@gyrinus.nl.
 
See you then!
 
Lots of love,
The Actcie 
 

[:en]Lunch Lecture[:]

Bestuur

[:en]Dear members,

It’s almost time for our annual lunch lecture again! On the 21st of September we have organized a very interesting speaker for you:

Dr Febe van Maldegem is group leader in the Department of Molecular Cell Biology & Immunology. Her work focusses on the complex role of the tumour microenvironment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), crucial for mediating anti-tumour immunity, but more frequently imposing resistance to therapy. She wil tell you all there is to know about “The tumour microenvironment: not just a bag of cells.” Non-cancer cells infiltrating the tumour are thought to strongly influence cancer progression and responses to therapy. But how do they influence each other? Deciphering the local cellular neighbourghoods may be the key to understanding.

The lecture will take place at WN-C121 and will be from 12:45 till 13:30. Furthermore we will provide you with a delicious FREE lunch so you don’t want to miss this. Interested yet? sign up through this link (the first 40 will receive a free lunch so be quick!) gyrinus.nl/lunchlecture

[:nl]Last Stelling Evening[:]

Bestuur

[:nl]Dear borrelaars, 

We have good news and we have bad news. The bad news is that the end of the Gyrinus season is near. The good news is that we will celebrate the end of the academic year with the Last Stelling Eve! During this evening a wonderful Indonesian rice table will be served by a group of employees of the VU! You can sign up for this dinner via Gyrinus.nl/lse2022. There are limited spots, so sign up quickly! Trust us, you do not want to miss out on this! The price for the dinner is to be determined. We hope to see you at the LSE; It’s gonna be legen — wait for it … and I hope you’re not lactose-intolerant ’cause the second half of that word is — da(i)ry!   

Love, The Alcoholaat
