C'est celui d'Arjuna, l'homme qui doute, face à Krishna, l'ami qui conduit son char. Nouvelle Acropole est heureuse d’inviter Marie-France Latronche, indianiste, pour une rencontre consacrée au maître intérieur. Au-delà de l’histoire de ce texte, c’est une expérience de réflexion et d’ouverture qui est proposée : comment se laisser accompagner sans être dominé, comment écouter une voix qui éclaire sans imposer, comment élargir son horizon sans rompre avec soi-même. Arjuna et Krishna deviennent des miroirs pour notre propre chemin, et les sagesses anciennes — Daïmon, Atman, Qalb — sont autant de guides pour explorer nos tensions et notre liberté intérieure. En accueillant ce questionnement, Nouvelle Acropole participe à former des individus capables de penser au-delà de leur cadre d’origine, tout en choisissant activement leur appartenance à un chemin de sagesse. **Date et lieu** 📅 **Date** : Jeudi 28 mai à 20h 📍 **Lieu** : Espace Le Moulin, 48 rue du fer à Moulin 75005 Paris 🎟️ **Tarif** : 10€ tarif unique

Chèr·e·s Group Elements 🌌 (oui, comme les éléments d’un groupe mathématique ) Je vous partage une conférence de la série **Conférences Carte blanche** organisée par la Maison Poincaré, où des chercheur·e·s présentent leurs travaux récents en mathématiques et leurs applications 🌌📊 🎓 **De la turbulence à la prévisibilité : les mathématiques de l’océan et du climat** par Louis-Philippe Nadeau Malgré des décennies de progrès en calcul scientifique et en modélisation numérique 💻, certaines questions fondamentales sur le climat restent étonnamment stables depuis le rapport de Charney (1979). Cette conférence explore le rôle de l’océan 🌊, à la fois système turbulent et régulateur du climat, et la manière dont les mathématiques permettent de comprendre comment un système chaotique peut produire des comportements globaux relativement prévisibles. On abordera notamment : * la dynamique des fluides géophysiques 🌪️ * le lien entre désordre et structures à grande échelle 📈 * les outils de simulation numérique et de modélisation 🧮 Un temps de questions-réponses est prévu à la fin 💬 **🔗 Plus d’informations :** [https://www.ihp.fr/sites/default/files/media/downloads/20260528%20CCB.pdf](https://www.ihp.fr/sites/default/files/media/downloads/20260528%20CCB.pdf) https://www.ihp.fr/en/node/4821 💡 *Note personnelle :* La conférence a lieu un jeudi après-midi, donc il est possible que je ne puisse pas y assister, mais je la partage car le sujet est particulièrement intéressant pour les amateurs de physique mathématique, systèmes dynamiques et modélisation 🌌 Après la conférence, pour celles et ceux qui le souhaitent, nous pourrons prolonger la discussion autour d’un café ou d’un verre à proximité ☕🍷 — pour échanger librement sur les idées abordées, poser des questions, ou simplement continuer le moment dans une ambiance conviviale. À très bientôt 🌌✨ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Dear Group Elements 🌌 (yes, like elements of a mathematical group!) I’m sharing a talk from the **Carte blanche lecture series** hosted by the Maison Poincaré, where researchers present their recent work in mathematics and related applications 🌌📊 🎓 **From turbulence to predictability: the mathematics of oceans and climate** by Louis-Philippe Nadeau Despite decades of progress in computational science and numerical modeling 💻, some fundamental questions in climate science remain remarkably stable since the Charney Report (1979). This talk explores the role of the ocean 🌊 as both a turbulent system and a climate regulator, and how mathematics helps explain how chaotic systems can still produce large-scale predictable behavior. Topics include: * geophysical fluid dynamics 🌪️ * the link between disorder and large-scale structure 📈 * numerical simulation and modeling tools 🧮 A Q&A session will follow 💬 🔗 More information: [https://www.ihp.fr/sites/default/files/media/downloads/20260528%20CCB.pdf](https://www.ihp.fr/sites/default/files/media/downloads/20260528%20CCB.pdf) https://www.ihp.fr/en/node/4821 💡 *Personal note:* The talk is on a Thursday afternoon, so I may not be able to attend, but I’m sharing it because the topic is especially interesting for anyone into mathematical physics, dynamical systems, and modeling 🌌 After the talk, those who wish can continue the discussion over a coffee or a drink nearby ☕🍷 — to exchange thoughts, ask questions, or simply extend the conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. See you soon 🌌✨

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

Sometimes it’s a massive advantage… and sometimes it can complicate your business if you don’t know what you’re walking into. In this training, we’ll cut through the “agents vs investors” drama and focus on one thing: **what makes you more money and gives you more leverage**. You’ll learn: * **When being licensed helps investors win** (better access, better data, better terms, better deal flow) * How investors use a license to **create extra profit centers** (commissions, referrals, listings, buyer rep, property management pathways) * The truth about **MLS access, pocket listings, and being first to the good deals** * How licensing impacts **wholesaling, double-closing, assignments, and disclosures** * What brokerages don’t tell you: **fees, splits, compliance, and time requirements** * When it’s smarter to **partner with an agent** instead of becoming one * A simple decision framework: **licensed vs partnered vs hybrid model** You’ll walk out knowing whether licensing fits your goals—and if it does, the cleanest path to do it without slowing down your investing.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
