Infusiona-te 🍵 Coloquio abierto de investigación emocional ✨
**Infusiona-te** es un encuentro mensual de **autoindagación y autoconocimiento**,
Cada mes un tema propuesto y elegido a votación de los asistentes... Ves pensando que tema quieres proponer ...
A través del dialogo con otros sobre diferentes temas de la vida...
\- Dejo las ideas en el guardarropía
\- Aprendo a no juzgarme ni juzgar al otro
\- Escucho y soy escuchado
* No aconsejo, no interpreto, no diagnostico
* Observo lo que pienso y lo que siento cuando lo pienso
La emoción aparece cuando una idea se evoca, se observa y se deja reposar,
como una infusión que necesita tiempo, no esfuerzo.
**Infusionar**
*del latín Infusio significa acción y efecto de evocar un sentimiento o emoción. In=hacia adentro Fundere= Verter, derretir*
En este espacio, la infusión no es solo una bebida:
es una **emoción evocada**, una idea observada, una pregunta que se deja penetrar sin forzar respuestas.
## Formato
* Coloquio abierto
* Investigación emocional compartida
* Espacio de palabra, silencio y escucha
* Acompañado de una infusión
## Información práctica

National Politics Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Té y Política entre mujeres
Té y política es un espacio para conversar con calma sobre temas políticos y sociales, poniendo el foco en la experiencia personal, la escucha y la conexión humana.
En este encuentro hablaremos sobre la radicalización:
qué significa realmente, cómo se forma en el día a día y por qué no es algo tan ajeno como solemos pensar.
No se trata de debatir ni de convencer.
Se trata de escucharnos, compartir perspectivas y crear un espacio seguro donde cada voz tenga lugar.
El encuentro será en grupo reducido, para favorecer la intimidad y el diálogo en igualdad.
No es necesario tener conocimientos previos.
Solo curiosidad, respeto y ganas de conectar.
Ven tal como eres 🦋

NETWORKING: 20:00 - 21H30
As digital transformation accelerates, cybersecurity is no longer just a technical concern — it is becoming a regulatory, strategic, and existential challenge for companies operating critical systems and digital infrastructure.
Join us on Jan 20 at Cloudworks 22@ Barcelona for an in-depth evening with **Dr. Jesus Molina** and **Gerard Cervelló**, exploring how regulation, cryptography, and emerging threats are reshaping the way we design, build, and secure technology.

**Where:** Cloudworks 22@, Carrer de Pere IV, 64, Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona
**Cost:** Completely free – just register on Meetup
**Our Speakers**
**Dr. Jesus Molina – CRA and NIS2: How Cybersecurity Regulation Will Redefine Engineering**
Dr. Jesus Molina is a cybersecurity executive and researcher with more than 20 years of experience across OT and IT security, specializing in rail, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure worldwide. He has led complex cybersecurity programs protecting operations control centers, rolling stock, and signaling systems across multiple continents.
With a background in offensive security, trusted computing, and hardware-based intrusion detection, Jesus has authored key industrial security frameworks, multiple patents, and widely cited research. He actively contributes to global security initiatives through the World Economic Forum, the Industrial Internet Consortium, and other international bodies — bridging regulation, engineering, and real-world deployment.
**Gerard Cervelló – Post-Quantum Security: Today’s Reality**
Gerard Cervelló is a strategic C-level executive, founder, and technology advisor with extensive experience in cybersecurity, cryptography, blockchain, and mission-critical systems. With a Telecommunications Engineering background, he operates at the intersection of deep technology, business strategy, and execution.
Having scaled multiple start-ups and scale-ups, Gerard has led go-to-market strategies, fundraising efforts, and strategic transactions across the private and public sectors. As a co-author of several patents, he brings a pragmatic perspective on how emerging cryptographic threats — including post-quantum risks — are already impacting today’s security decisions.
**What’s In It For You?**
Cybersecurity is entering a new era — shaped by regulation, geopolitics, and fundamental changes in cryptography.
In this DeepTech Talks edition, Jesus and Gerard will explore:
* How CRA and NIS2 are changing engineering responsibilities and system design
* What post-quantum security means today — not in theory, but in practice
* The impact of regulation on critical infrastructure and industrial systems
* How organizations can prepare without slowing innovation
Expect a grounded, experience-driven discussion connecting policy, technology, and real-world constraints.
**Who Should Come?**
* Security engineers and architects
* CTOs, CISOs, and technology leaders
* Engineers working in critical infrastructure, OT, or regulated industries
* Founders and product leaders building secure systems
* Anyone interested in the future of cybersecurity beyond buzzwords
**Extras**

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: Venezuela’s Future—and Ours
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Venezuela’s Future—and Ours,”** an analysis of how the Trump administration’s intervention in Venezuela will affect that nation, the U.S., and the rest of the world, with Ernesto Castañeda, Director of the Center for Latin American and Latino Studies and the Immigration Lab at American University.
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/nv-venezuela-future](https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/nv-venezuela-future) .]
On January 3rd, after a long military buildup, the United States used special forces to seize Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, from their residence in Caracas, Venezuela to stand trial here on criminal charges.
The development marked a major turning point in our relationship with Venezuela and the rest of Latin America and raised a host of complex questions, not just for Venezuelans living inside and outside that country but for American citizens and other nations of the world.
Coming to the stage to break down what all of this means is Ernesto Castañeda, a scholar of Latin America who has given several excellent Profs and Pints talks on immigration policy and has given dozens of interviews to media outlets around the world in the wake of the U.S. raid.
In a talk offering informed perspective on the latest news developments, Professor Castañeda will discuss various theories about why the U.S. conducted the operation to get Maduro out of Venezuela. He’s put our nation’s current plans for Venezuela into context by touching on previous U.S. military interventions in Latin America and beyond.
Professor Castañeda will look at the implications of recent events for U.S. politics and U.S. citizens and what such developments tell us about the balance of power in the United States. He’ll examine the distance between decisions made by the White House and public priorities, touching on how it all relates to our immigration policies and our views about peaceful protest and democracy.
He’ll consider how the Venezuela raid and our actions since have altered relations between the U.S. and other nations and provide scenarios about what the future might hold. (Door: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)

Book Club: "The Great Stewardess Rebellion" by Nell McShane Wulfhart
This book club will be hosted at Teaism (Penn quarter location; 400 8th St NW). However if 4 or fewer people RSVP it will be moved to virtual (https://meet.google.com/bux-wtkw-qdp?hs=224). Please check up on meetup for updates before coming.
**Summary**
As flying boomed in the 1960s, women from across America applied for jobs as stewardesses. They were drawn to the promise of glamour, the chance to travel, and an alternative to traditional occupations like homemaking, nursing, and teaching.
But as the number of “stews” grew, so did their suspicion that the job was not as picture-perfect as the ads would have them believe. “Sky girls” had to adhere to strict weight limits at all times; gain a few extra pounds and they’d be suspended from work. They couldn’t marry or have children; their makeup, hair, and teeth had to be just so. Girdles were mandatory on the clock. And, most important, stewardesses had to resign at 32.
Eventually the stewardesses began to push back and it’s thanks in part to their trailblazing efforts that working women have gotten closer to workplace equality today. Nell McShane Wulfhart crafts a rousing narrative of female empowerment, the paradigm-shifting ’60s and ’70s, the labor movement, and the cadre of gutsy women who fought for their rights—and won.
