Breathing Therapy in the Salt Cave
Improving the quality of our breathing can powerfully support our lives. Practicing in the Salt Cave, with the support of 8 tons of salt, is a truly special experience. Everyone knows that during a cold or flu, salt can provide quick support.
And of course, we all know how to breathe, because we are alive. Learning proper breathing takes time and a little perseverance. Even one breathing therapy session can bring us a lot of understanding, but for more reliable results, a greater number of repetitions is helpful.
What can you expect at such a breathing therapy class in the Salt Cave? After settling into a comfortable seated position, we will go over the basics of proper breathing together, then step by step we will practice these gentle and slow movements with every breath.
We warmly welcome you.

Virtual Cells at ICLR'26 Conference
==DATE CHANGED==
May 27th's event is re-scheduled --> to Jun 17.
This month's meetup discusses 3 papers
from the ICLR 2026 conference held in April.
This won't be as much of a deep dive into one paper, but I'd like to give an overview / some intuition on latest modeling approaches in cell modeling & AI in biology.
1 - [scDFM](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.07103) \- a **flow matching** model predicting cell transitions in the transcriptomics space as a result of applying perturbations
2 - [TxFM](https://openreview.net/pdf?id=NqZqClqtTK) - **a masked autoencoder style foundation model** trained on a well-curated transcriptomics dataset. Authors demonstrate: how important data quality is in biological models, outweighing sheer scale.
3 - [VCWorld](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.00306) \- a **world model** approach for virtual cell simulation. A **white-box, cell simulator** approach that **combines structured biological knowledge with LLMs**

Session #31 - Science, NOMA and the Limits of Knowledge
*“The idea that we live in a universe without meaning is a difficult one to accept.”*
*―* Richard Dawkins
*“Science can tell us how the heavens go, but not why we are here.”*
*―* Stephen Jay Gould
**Session in english! Also available on [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/philosophy-session-science-noma-and-the-limits-of-knowledge-2026-06-19/) for Karma Points.**
Science has transformed the world. It has allowed us to predict nature, cure diseases, build technologies, and understand ourselves better than any previous civilization.
But a question remains:
Are there limits to where science cannot reach? Should there be limits to science? What happens when science gets in other territories like culture, morals or values?
* **The scientific naturalist view**: reality is ultimately explained through physical processes.
* **NOMA** (Non Overlapping Magisteria) or the idea that science and religion answer different kinds of questions.
* **Critiques of scientism**: the belief that science is the only valid way of knowing.
Thinkers like Richard Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould, and Mary Midgley approach these questions from very different directions.
**You do NOT need to have read any of the books**.
**Introduction of guests (15 minutes)**
We start with a short introduction of the topic and of the guests
* Which main driver do you think has the most influence on the outcome for a nation?
**Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)**
1. What meaningful things are there that science will never be able to explain?
2. If a belief cannot be falsified, does that make it irrational?
3. If science explains how something happens, does it also explain why it matters?
4. Should we trust science because it is useful, or because it is true?
5. Evolution can explain why humans developed morality, would that make morality less real?
6. If the universe has no built-in meaning, can human-created meaning be just as real?
7. Would a world with perfect happiness but no truth be better than a world with suffering but genuine knowledge?
8. Is religion answering different questions than science, or are they competing?
9. If religions disappeared tomorrow, would humanity lose something important?
10. If a religious belief produces good consequences but is scientifically unprovable, should we keep it?
11. Is believing only what can be scientifically proven itself a belief that science cannot prove?
12. Can religion remain in a “separate domain” if it makes claims about reality (miracles, creation, afterlife)?
13. If science explains how humans came to believe in God, does that undermine the religious belief itself?
14. If only scientifically verifiable statements are meaningful, is that rule itself meaningful or scientifically provable?
15. Problem of induction: If something has always worked in the past, is that a good reason to trust it will work in the future—or just a habit of thinking?
16. Problem of uniformity: Why do we trust that a star 10 billion light-years away follows the same rules as experiments on Earth?

Google Cloud Budapest Meetup: AI-Native Engineering vs. Core Fundamentals
Google Cloud Budapest Meetup is back!
Join us on June 17th at the Aliz office in Budapest for an evening of deep-tech insights, practical engineering strategies, and networking with fellow Google Cloud and AI enthusiasts.
As AI tools reshape the development landscape, the definition of a "good engineer" is shifting. This meetup isn't about generic AI prompts - it's about the concrete skills and old-school engineering discipline required to build reliable, scalable, AI-native applications.
🎫 The event is free, but seats are limited. **Save yours now! 👇**
⌛ Register here: [https://www.aliz.ai/en/event/google-cloud-budapest-meetup-2026](https://www.aliz.ai/en/event/google-cloud-budapest-meetup-2026)

**Talk 1**
**Becoming a Context Engineering Professional in Your Domain** by Tamás Imets (AI Solution Architect), Aliz
The most underrated skill in the AI era: context engineering. How to structure prompts, design context windows, and become a force multiplier in your technical domain. Practical patterns from the field that turn good engineers into AI-native practitioners.
**Talk 2**
**The Revenge of the Fundamentals: old-school ideas winning in the AI era** by Máté Czékus (Lead Architect) and Aamna Tayyab (Head of Delivery), Adroit Group
The core argument: LLMs accelerate code generation are non-deterministic and inconsistent by default, which makes foundational engineering practices and tooling more important then ever. Teams that skipped the fundamentals, or was still hand rolling checks when AI arrived are paying for it at integration boundaries — it'll be way more harder to guide agent to write compliant and consistent code, and even harder to review the huge amount that was generated.
Three fundamental tools doing more work than they get credit for:
* JSON Schema — enforcing the contract between modules
* TDD — writing the tests before the code
* Linters and formatters — static governance that guides the shapeand correctness what the model sometimes misses even with context
Máté brings a live demo: one real multi-cloud cost explorer example showing what AI tooling produces by default vs the disciplined version side by side.
=================

More Excuses to Drink Wine and Chat!
Our inaugural event was small but successful, so we'll be doing it again--this time with more notice. Once again, the event will be held in my apartment building, The Edmund, which is located directly above the Wegmans in Reston. Wegmans offers free parking, so park there and walk around the building to the lobby of the apartment complex, where I'll greet everyone and bring us all up to the fourth floor. (The elevator is access controlled, so we'll go up together.)
Just bring a bottle of wine and however many cups you want to use to sample everyone else's wines. (There's a sink to wash out the cups.)
Also, Meetup charges organizers (meaning me) $180 every six months, so please bring $1 to help defray this cost. Hope this massive sum doesn't break the bank. :-)
Depending on the weather and what everyone is in favor of, we'll either meet in a big room or in a courtyard. (They're both on the same floor.) We'll decide once we're upstairs.
Can't wait to meet you all!

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: Can Artificial Intelligence “See”?
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Can Artificial Intelligence ‘See’?”** A look at how humans and artificial intelligence systems interpret the visual world in fundamentally different ways, with Arryn Robbins, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Richmond and cognitive scientist who researches visual attention, perception, and category learning.
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-can-AI-see](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-can-AI-see) .]
Artificial intelligence can now identify faces, categorize objects, describe scenes, and outperform humans on certain visual tasks. But does AI actually “see” the world the way that people do? Or does it arrive at correct answers using representations that differ markedly from human perception?
Join Arryn Robbins of the University of Richmond for a fascinating exploration of how humans and AI construct meaning from visual information and a look at comparisons between human perception and AI that reveal just how dynamic and context-dependent our own visual systems really are.
Dr. Robbins, who previously has given excellent Profs and Pints talks on flaws and biases in human visual perception, will draw from research in cognitive science, visual perception, and AI vision systems.
She’ll explain how human perception is not merely a simple recording of the world, but an active process shaped by expectations, context, goals, and recent experience. You’ll learn how humans form flexible mental representations that allow us to recognize objects across changing environments and conditions, and why those representations continuously adapt as we interact with the world.
Many AI systems, by contrast, learn visual categories through statistical patterns in data. They can produce impressive results, but sometimes they also produce strange and unexpected failures, and sometimes they classify images in ways that seem strange to us.
Dr. Robbins will discuss what these differences reveal about the nature of perception itself, and why the mismatch between human and AI representations matters for technologies like self-driving cars, medical imaging, facial recognition, and automated surveillance.
Important for anyone trying to understand the rapidly growing role of AI in daily life, this talk will explore one of the biggest questions in cognitive science and artificial intelligence: What does it actually mean to “see” and understand the world? (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)
