Biotechnology Industry Organization

Abstract: I'm tired to see ground that could be used for heirloom turnips (they grow better in cold and you can hardly see them in shops, there are courgettes and tomatoes in winter and spring instead..) trees and bushes being used exclusively for grass instead. Mushrooms can be grown easily and safely outdoors in wooden logs.. Some parks in several cities specially abroad but also in Czech Rep. and areas elsewhere seem to want to imitate those that were imitating Victorian times: lush huge lawns. Do we all really like grandeur without a trace of food gardens, and because that's how it's done it has to be this way? People would not take care and give continuity to small initiatives, many have been there done that. But isn't it the fault of the organization always? I think so. People like the idea of thinking outside of the box, [while being] inside the box. That just doesn't really work very well. So this is an invite, for each other to be able to know what might appeal to others in the framework of finding spaces to grow food to not need to rely so much on what one sees in the shops. 🌿🌿

We live in a period of constant change, where uncertainty has become part of everyday work. Many people stay productive and composed on the surface, yet operate under steady inner pressure that quietly shapes decisions, relationships, and energy. ​Pressure to perform. Pressure to adapt. Pressure to know what comes next. ​This pressure influences how we communicate, create, and lead, whether we manage others or contribute as individual experts. At a human level, sustained pressure often shows up in the body as anxiety, tension, or mental noise. Learning to recognize and work with this response is a practical leadership skill, not a personal flaw. ​In this lunch session with [David Papa](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidpapa/), we will explore practical ways to move from reactivity to clarity. Through reflection, light movement, and conversation, you will learn how to calm your nervous system, regain focus, and act with more presence and courage, even when things feel uncertain. *** # ​Agenda ​**Lunch & Networking \| 12:00–1:00 PM** A shared Venezuelan lunch from Areparna, a drink, and relaxed conversation with people across roles and industries. Time to connect, exchange perspectives, and arrive fully. ​**Workshop \+ Q&A \| 1:00–2:30 PM** A guided session combining discussion, gentle movement, and practical exercises to explore how internal pressure shows up in work and decision-making. The session includes space for questions, reflection, and shared insight. ​**Closing Remarks & Networking \| 2:30–3:00 PM** A lighter closing with informal conversation, connections, and time to reflect together before heading back into the day. # ​**You'll learn** * ​How to recognize when pressure is quietly driving your decisions * ​A ritual to reset focus and emotional balance * ​Grounding techniques such as Havening to calm the body quickly * ​Self-inquiry tools that support clearer thinking and communication * ​How to create and connect from presence instead of pressure *** # ​Who is it for * ​Professionals, founders, and entrepreneurs navigating uncertainty and change * ​Individual contributors, managers, and leaders * ​People who want more clarity, calm, and agency at work *** # ​About David Papa ​\*\*[David](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidpapa/)\*\* works with people and organizations to bring clarity and humanity into complex environments. He has supported teams and leaders at Zapier, Peloton, and Maersk, combining humor, embodiment, and practical tools to help people operate with less pressure and more freedom. ​We have lived in reaction mode long enough. This is an invitation to work and lead with greater ease and presence.

Join ProductTank Prague at the first product meetup of the new year! 🎉(Happy New Year!) We’ll take a deep dive into the world of AI.

They empower us from pre-testing interviews, scripts, and surveys to usability audits and competitive benchmarking. **18:40** – **Anton Smirnov** AI evals are becoming a must-have PM skill, yet they’re often buried under buzzwords. They don’t have to be complex frameworks. When used right, they enable real product impact from day one, from clearer decisions to better AI quality. **19:10** – 10-minute break 🍕 **19:20 -** Speaker 3 (To be announced soon.) **19:40** – Networking **22:00** – End of meetup

Dear all I would like to invite you to visit together the exhibition: Body Worlds. More info can be found at the link here below : https://www.bodyworlds.cz/en/vystava **Exhibition Overview** BODY WORLDS is an international exhibition featuring real human bodies and organs preserved through the plastination technique, a process developed by German anatomist Dr. Gunther von Hagens. Plastination allows the human body to be displayed in lasting, three-dimensional form, revealing anatomy, movement, and internal systems with exceptional clarity.The exhibition continues a long dialogue between anatomy and art, echoing the anatomical studies of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Vesalius, as well as artistic reflections such as Rembrandt’s The Anatomy Lesson. BODY WORLDS places the human body at the intersection of medical knowledge and visual culture, inviting viewers to see anatomy as both scientific subject and artistic form. meeting point : Main entrance Westfield Chodov shopping center: [Roztylska 2321/19,](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x470b9232c2d3f475:0x9f039cb6c612bafe?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) [Prague 11-Chodov](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x470b9232c2d3f475:0x9f039cb6c612bafe?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) [148 00](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x470b9232c2d3f475:0x9f039cb6c612bafe?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) 22nd Feb 15:30 PM short agenda: introduction project; ice breaker visit of the exhibition sharing impressions coffee optional ( for those willing to socialize more after the exhibition) estimated duration: approximately 3 hours admission cost : 390 CZK full / adults if you can't find the group phone at : 00420770171095 I look forward to meeting you ps please do not accept if you are not sure to come and give the opportunity for others to join
