Join us on **April 8, 2026** at our Paris office for an evening at the intersection of data, AI, and public health, from making tap water quality transparent to every French citizen, to reimagining what clinical care looks like in 2030. Two speakers. Two projects. One shared conviction: complex data, in the right hands, changes lives. *** **6:30 – 7:15 pm \| Jérémy Greze\, Freelance Product × Data × Dev** **44 Volunteers, 10 GB of Open Data, 650K Visitors, and a Question in Parliament** *In October 2025, [dansmoneau.fr](http://dansmoneau.fr) went live — a site where any French citizen can check exactly what's in their tap water. Within days it was featured on the front page of Le Monde, with prime time TV coverage, and a question raised in Parliament. Budget: zero.* *Behind it were 10 GB of open government data, 44 volunteers from Data For Good, and the scientific expertise of Générations Futures. The data had always been there — public, collected monthly by health authorities — just buried and impossible to use. They made it accessible.* *This talk is the technical story of how they achieved this by designing the data pipeline, discovering that 10 GB is actually small data with the right tools, and rendering 24,000 water zones on an interactive map without crashing the browser. And if time allows — what the data actually reveals about PFAS, pesticides, nitrates, VCM, and perchlorate across France.* *** **7:15 – 8:00 pm \| Li\-Heng Fu\, Senior AI Solution Engineer\, Health & Life Sciences — Dataiku** **Building the Future of Care: Clinical AI in 2030** *"There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks when decades happen."* For decades, healthcare was a fortress of inertia — guarded by data privacy constraints, rigid workflows, and high-stakes accountability. Those walls are coming down. Not just because of technology, but because of the clinicians and builders choosing to lead the charge. Drawing on the latest Stanford ARISE AI research and emerging industry breakthroughs, Li-Heng will trace the shift from experimental benchmarks to real bedside applications — exploring the rise of multimodal diagnostic agents, ambient scribing, and autonomous healthcare assistants. The session closes with a harder question: as AI reshapes healthcare by 2030, what kind of patient-doctor relationship are we actually trying to build? *** The talks will be followed by open discussion and networking. Come ready to ask questions. *8 - 10PM: Meet & greet with drinks* ***Dataiku will only use your personal information to provide the product or service you requested and contact you with related content that may interest you.

**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻‍❄️ * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠 * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

Chér.e.s Group Elements, (Oui, *comme dans un groupe mathématique* 🧮🙂) Retrouvons-nous pour assister à cette conférence assez fascinante (et informative !) sur **« SMILE : Révéler l'invisible - explorer la magnétosphère terrestre en rayons X »** par Dimitra Koutroumpa (LATMOS-OVSQ) 🌌 🌌 🔄 ***Cet événement remplace une session précédemment annoncée pour le 7 intitulée "Sonder la nature de l'énergie noire avec le projet DESI", qui a été reporté au 5 mai (les inscriptions ouvrent le 8 avril)*** **Voici la description :** 🌞 La météorologie de l'espace étudie l'environnement spatial terrestre, notamment les interactions entre le Soleil et notre planète. Au cour de ce système, la magnétosphère - un bouclier magnétique naturel - nous protège des particules chargées émises par le Soleil - le vent solaire - généralement maintenues à distance par une frontière appelée magnétopause. 🛰️ Cependant, sous certaines conditions, les champs magnétiques du Soleil et de la Terre peuvent s'interconnecter, créant des brèches dans la magnétopause. Ces ouvertures permettent alors aux particules solaires énergétiques de pénétrer dans notre environnement spatial. L'intensité et la fréquence de ces phénomènes de reconnexion magnétique varient en fonction de l'activité solaire. Pendant les pics d'activité, les éruptions solaires et les éjections de masse coronale (CME) peuvent provoquer des perturbations majeures, comme des orages géomagnétiques, des aurores polaires, mais aussi des dysfonctionnements de satellites, des coupures radio, voire des pannes électriques. 🔭 Pour mieux comprendre et anticiper ces phénomènes, la mission SMILE (Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer), prévue pour un lancement en avril 2026, utilisera une technologie innovante d'imagerie en rayons X. Son objectif : observer globalement la magnétosphère et son évolution face aux variations du vent solaire, afin d'améliorer notre compréhension de la météo de l'espace et de ses impacts sur notre quotidien. 📝 **Voici le lien d'inscription et plus :** https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/ https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/form_reservation_conference.php https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/resumes2026.html ▶️ et la seance **sera en direct** et replay sur son son chaine YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@InstitutdAstrophysiquedeParis **Même si le site indique que c’est complet, vous pouvez souvent encore trouver une place en arrivant un peu en avance.** 🍀 La conférence est prévue pour commencer à 19h30. 📍 **Accés :** https://www.iap.fr/accueil/acces/acces-fr.html 🍺 Ça dure normalement 60 - 90 mins.

At the heart of this system, the magnetosphere — a natural magnetic shield — protects us from charged particles emitted by the Sun (the solar wind), which are generally kept at bay by a boundary called the magnetopause. 🛰️ However, under certain conditions, the Sun's and Earth's magnetic fields can interconnect, creating gaps in the magnetopause. These openings allow energetic solar particles to penetrate our space environment. The intensity and frequency of these magnetic reconnection events vary with solar activity. During activity peaks, solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can trigger major disruptions such as geomagnetic storms, polar auroras, but also satellite malfunctions, radio blackouts, and even power outages. 🔭 To better understand and anticipate these phenomena, the SMILE mission (Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer), planned for launch in April 2026, will use innovative X-ray imaging technology. Its goal: to globally observe the magnetosphere and its evolution in response to solar wind variations, in order to improve our understanding of space weather and its impacts on daily life. 📝 **Here’s the registration link** (please do it promptly) and more! https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/ https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/form_reservation_conference.php https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/resumes2026.html **Even if the registration appears full when you follow the link, it’s usually still possible to get seats if you arrive early** 🍀 The talk is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ▶️ And the session will also be available **live and replay** on IAP's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@InstitutdAstrophysiquedeParis 📍 **Acces**: https://www.iap.fr/accueil/acces/acces-fr.html 🍺It usually lasts 60–90 minutes.

Ce soir, dans le cadre du cycle général, nous avons voté : **1 - "Un amour insensé" de Junichiro Tanizaki** "...L'occidentalisation, cette plaie du Japon moderne, thème majeur de l'œuvre de Tanizaki, fait de Naomi un être irréductiblement cynique, vulgaire, inconstant, dont les roueries et l'érotisme, cependant, fascinent Jôji Kawai. Amoureux, il l'épouse. Un amour insensé est la chronique douloureuse et ironique de leur vie conjugale." Babelio **2 - "Pastorale américaine" de Philip Roth** "...La vie de Seymour Levov ressemble à un cliché noir et blanc des années cinquante, un portrait de famille figé dans le bonheur. Petit-fils d'immigré juif parfaitement assimilé à l'American Way of Life, une réussite sociale exemplaire, une épouse ex-Miss New Jersey composent le tableau idyllique d'une histoire lacérée au couteau....." Babelio ***On peut lire l'un ou les deux livres programmés.*** **Pour les présentations d'auteurs :** -Jean va nous faire une présentation de Junichuro Tanizaki pour donner du contexte à nos discussions ; \- Yousra fait une présentation de Philip Roth pendant une dizaine de minutes\. **Pour les focus sur l'oeuvre :** -Je fais les deux focus sur l'oeuvre soit "Un amour insensé" et "Pastorale américaine". Et n'oubliez pas ! Partagez, si sous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marqués, touchés, et qui vous semblent importants à partager avec le groupe et les participants.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus. Sponsored by [Transform Labs](https://www.transformlabs.com/services)

...and speaking of breakthrough roles: who can forget the first time we saw Tom Cruise singing Bob Seeger in his underwear? Often considered an updated 1983 version of The Graduate, the movie sparkles with memorable lines and original music. I only regret that I was never told that "Princeton could use someone like Bob..." See the movie first and join us for some "Cruisin'"

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others.

If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat.
