*All the presentations are in Hungarian. Thanks for your understanding!* Miért rákkeltő az alkoholfogyasztás? És mi az univerzum két legnagyobb rejtélye? A márciusi Budapest Science Meetupon kiderül. **Az alkohol rákkeltő hatásának nyomában** *Szüts Dávid – HUN-REN TTK, Molekuláris Élettudományi Intézet, Genom Stabilitás Kutatócsoport* Az alkoholfogyasztás ismerten rákkeltő, de vajon miért? Kutatócsoportunk az etanol fő bomlástermékének, az acetaldehidnek a mutagenikus hatását vizsgálta sejttenyészetekben. Az általunk talált hatás enyhe, de egyértelmű: DNS-törésekre utaló genomi átrendeződéseket találtuk sejtvonalakon végzett kísérletekben, és ugyanilyen mutációk alkoholfogyasztással való asszociációját gyomorrák esetekben. Az eredmények alapján az acetaldehid DNS-töréseket előidézve okozhat olyan változásokat a testi sejtek génállományában, amelyek hozzájárulnak a tumorok kialakulásához. **Az univerzum két nagy rejtélye: a sötét energia és a Hubble-feszültség** *Raffai Péter – ELTE TTK Atomfizikai Tanszék* A fizikai kozmológia alapvetése, hogy a világegyetem nagy léptékben homogén. Einstein általános relativitáselmélete szerint egy ilyen univerzum tágul, vagyis a kozmikus távolságok -például a galaxisok között- mindenütt azonos ütemben nőnek. A növekedés mai üteme, a Hubble-állandó, a tágulástörténet kulcsparamétere - az univerzum korát is ő árulja el. A legkülönfélébb megfigyelésekhez a Lambda-CDM kozmológiai modell illeszkedik leginkább; eszerint a tágulás mintegy 5 milliárd éve lassulóból gyorsulóba váltott át, egy ismeretlen összetevő, a sötét energia hatására. A sötét energia mellett a kozmológia legégetőbb kihívásává a "Hubble-feszültség" vált: a Hubble-állandó különböző mérési módszerekkel kétféle értékűnek adódik. Vajon ez csak mérési hiba? Vagy forradalom előjele a kozmológiában? És lehet a két nagy rejtélynek közös feloldása?

El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

*“If children were brought into the world by an act of pure reason alone, would the human race continue to exist?"* Arthur Schopenhauer. Antinatalism asks an uncomfortable question: **Is it morally justified to bring a new person into existence?** In a world marked by suffering, uncertainty, inequality, and social fragility, some philosophers argue that *not being born* may be better than being born at all. This session explores antinatalism, through thinkers like Schopenhauer, and David Benatar. But this is no longer a purely philosophical question. Today, birth rates are collapsing across much of the world. States intervene through incentives, restrictions, and population engineering. Technology separates sex from pregnancy and reproduction from the human body itself. This session explores birth and antinatalism **at the intersection of philosophy, demography, politics, and technology**. **Introduction (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the guests. **Questions to discuss: (1 hour and 45 minutes):** 1. Would you want to be born again? 2. Can it ever be ethical to impose life on someone **without their consent**? 3. Can we meaningfully say someone is “better or worse off” for never existing? 4. How much suffering is it enough to make life not worth starting? 5. Is it worse to risk suffering, or to deny existence entirely? 6. Does society pressure people into reproduction for economic or cultural survival? 7. If antinatalism is right, what follows? Adoption? Voluntary extinction? 8. Can creating a new life be a morally neutral act, or is it better continuing one that already exists? 9. Is having children an act of hope or an act of denial? 10. Can a society that stops reproducing still be a political community — or only an administrative one? is antinatalism politically destabilizing by definition? (Movie: The children of men, Hannah Arendt) 11. Would politics freeze without generational replacement? 12. Would immortality eliminate progress — or stabilize it? 13. Would immortal societies become conservative by default? 14. Is the “right to have a child” absolute—or should it be conditional? If adoption requires screening, why doesn’t biological parenthood? 15. What are the consequences if artificial wombs become viable? 16. What happens when reproduction becomes a technical process rather than a human one? (Recommended documentary: "The Man with 1000 Kids" on Netflix) 17. Was the One-Child Policy an ethical catastrophe — or a brutal but rational response to material limits? If overpopulation causes massive suffering, is coercive birth control ever morally defensible? 18. If parents screen embryos for severe diseases, is that eugenics — or responsibility? 19. Why is state-driven selection immoral, but market-driven selection acceptable? 20. Is the traditional nuclear family the only morally acceptable way to raise a child?

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.

Drake Lundstrom is presenting: Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone Abstract: Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need! If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo. Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.
