Free workshop - Make your own radio show!
Radio is everywhere, in the car, in restaurants, at work, at home. Since its invention it did not lose any popularity but to the contrary, more than ever radio stations pop-up across the world, bringing news, stories and music into people’s houses and ears, building communities and connections through sound. Radio broadcasting is connected to power, it has historically often been abused by the ones in power. But the medium of radio has also a long tradition of subversive use, giving marginalized communities a voice and tool to organize.
In the first part of the workshop we will introduce you to radio as a tool. You will learn how to make your own radio show. We will give you a short introduction into the medium and its history, introduce you to the basics hardware setup and help you design your own radio show and your first live broadcast. In order to partake in this workshop you don’t have to bring anything as we have the equipment. During this part we will work in groups.
The second part of the workshop will be broadcasting your own radio show during our radio event from the 10-12th of June. 6 till 10 pm.
Participant Numbers: 10
Part 1 Monday 8th of June, 18:00 till 21:30
Duration 3,5 hours
Part 2 during Radio event 10-12th of June, exact time and date can be discussed.
This workshop is part of a artistic project:
Sophie and Daniël work at the intersection of radio-making, storytelling, role-play and the organising of social spaces. This May they will travel from Hamburg to Athens by train, carrying a mobile radio setup and one central question: How to connect with strangers?
Along the way they will experiment with different ways of making connections. From small games and ice breakers to informal interviews, each prompt becomes its own episode. Together these episodes form a series and the thread running through the whole project, exploring what makes an unexpected conversation possible. The radio functions as a conversation tool, documentation device and publishing platform.
During a three day broadcast they will share their findings and reflections on loneliness, the character of the stranger, and on the small gestures that enable and enhance connections between people. The broadcast days intertwine with workshops built around the toolkit they are developing: a practical, experimental and playful guide on how to build connections, talk to strangers and feel less lonely in this world.

🌲 In To The Green...!
🗓️ Κυριακή 24 Μαΐου και ώρα 17:30 επιστρέφουμε στην Βασίλισσα των βουνών της Αττικής! Την Πάρνηθα!
[Συμμετοχή μπορείτε να δηλώσετε πατώντας εδώ.](https://luma.com/yj7n3e27)
⏳Για περίπου τρεις ώρες πάμε να "χαθούμε" μέσα της και να γίνουμε ένα με αυτήν!
📹Το scouting και η βιντεοσκόπηση έγιναν 5 Μαΐου εξού οι φωτογραφίες που βλέπετε παρακάτω!
🦋 Πρόκειται για μία πανέμορφη κυκλική διαδρομή 9,5 χιλιομέτρων με χαμηλό βαθμό δυσκολίας κατάλληλη και για αρχάριους με καλή φυσική κατάσταση!
Η αρχική κατεύθυνση είναι προς σπήλαιο Πανός από Κρύα Πηγή Φυλής με ενδιάμεση αλλαγή πορείας προς το ρέμα της Γκούρας. Τα πρώτα 4 χιλιόμετρα είναι μέσα σε πανέμορφα γραφικά μονοπάτια βγαλμένα μέσα από παραμύθι. Η υπόλοιπη διαδρομή είναι πιο ξεκούραστη σε απόλυτα ομαλό δασικό δρόμο μέσα στο δάσος!
⚠️ Ωστόσο πρέπει να γνωρίζετε ότι υπάρχει ένα μικρό σημείο στο μονοπάτι περίπου 200 μέτρων που είχε καεί στην τελευταία πυρκαγιά. Εκεί έχει επέμβει η δασική υπηρεσία και έχει κόψει καμένους κορμούς δέντρων με αποτέλεσμα να καθιστούν εκείνα τα 200 μέτρα δύσβατα. Θα πρέπει να περάσουμε πάνω από τους κομμένους κορμούς! 🤷🏻♂️
⚠️ Η ακριβής διάρκεια της δραστηριότητας θα εξαρτηθεί από τον ομαδικό ρυθμό βάδισης καθώς και τις στάσεις που θα κάνουμε.
Σύσταση για υποδήματα με αντιολισθητική σόλα.
1. 750ml νερό τουλάχιστον μαζί σας.
2. Φορτισμένα κινητά ή φακό.
3. Δεν επιτρέπονται τα κατοικίδια.
☔ Σε περίπτωση δυσμενών καιρικών συνθηκών η δραστηριότητα ενδέχεται να ακυρωθεί ή αναβληθεί.
🗺️ Το ακριβές σημείο συνάντησης και εκκίνησης θα σας σταλεί αμέσως μετά την εκδήλωση συμμετοχής.

NOVA Brain Computing — DC's Only Community at the Brain–Machine Frontier
**The Neural Revolution Is Happening Right Now — Are You Plugged In?**
Imagine typing with your thoughts. Steering a robotic limb with a neural signal. Lifting depression by stimulating a single brain circuit. Loading a skill straight into memory.
This isn't science fiction. It's happening in labs, clinics, and startups around the world — and the DC region, home to NIH, the BRAIN Initiative, and DARPA's neural-interface programs, is one of the places it's being funded and built.
**This Event Is for You If…**
* ✅ You're a **technologist** curious about the computing paradigm beyond screens and keyboards
* ✅ You work in **healthcare** and want to see how neural interfaces will reshape patient care
* ✅ You're an **entrepreneur** hunting the next real opportunity in deep tech
* ✅ You're a **researcher** looking to plug into the broader BCI ecosystem
* ✅ You're simply **fascinated** by where neuroscience and technology collide
* ✅ You **missed our last meetup** and want to reconnect with the community
**Why That List Makes Us Unique in DC**
Read it again. A technologist, a clinician, a founder, a researcher, and the merely curious — in the same room, on the same afternoon.
That mix is the whole point, and it's what no other event in the region offers. Neuroscience conferences are built for neuroscientists. AI meetups are built for engineers. Healthcare summits are built for clinicians. Each one serves a single silo.
Brain computing doesn't live in any one of those silos — it lives in the overlap. So we built the one community in DC dedicated to that overlap: a place where the person decoding neural signals can talk to the person who'll commercialize the device, who can talk to the clinician who'll put it in front of a patient.
**What You'll Walk Away With**
This isn't just another tech meetup. Because of who's in the room, you get:
* **Frontline insight** from people actively decoding neural signals
* **Direct access** to the scientists, engineers, and founders pushing BCI forward — not a panel behind a rope line
* **Hands-on work** with real neural data and BCI systems
* **Career connections** in one of the fastest-growing fields in tech
* **First looks** at breakthrough research before it reaches mainstream media
**The Stakes Are Real**
We're at an inflection point. The next decade decides whether brain-computer interfaces *expand* human potential or *deepen* inequality — whether they're built in the open or behind closed doors, whether the benefits are shared or hoarded.
Your voice, your expertise, your perspective shapes which future we get.
**Join the Minds Shaping Tomorrow**
This is your entry point into the neural-interface revolution — your chance to stand alongside the researchers reading neural code, the engineers building the interfaces, the clinicians treating patients, and the founders bringing it all to market.
**Saturday, June 13 · 12:00–3:00 PM** isn't just a meetup. It's the one place in DC where all of those people come together around brain computing.
**Come curious. Leave connected. Return transformed.**
Because the future of human-computer interaction isn't happening *to* you — it's happening *with* you.
Holy Shift!
Holy Shift! is a weekly small group focused on spiritual growth, authentic conversation, and exploring faith through different forms of media. Each series rotates formats — including books, podcasts, TV shows, movies, and more. For a fresh way to engage spirituality, theology, philosophy, and everyday life, join your small group hosts Steven Robeson and Allie Olson on Wednesdays from 6:00–7:25 PM in the Vine Church Middle School Room.
6:00–6:30 PM — Bring-your-own dinner & casual conversation
6:30–7:25 PM — Spiritual discussion
The group will begin June 17th by exploring the Unbelief Podcast, hosted by Jeremy Steele, pastor of NOOMA, which recently joined Vine as a cooperative parish. Holy Shift will expand into deeper seasonal studies in the fall, with future topics ranging from the contemplative writings of Richard Rohr, the Biblical reimagining of The Chosen, and the philosophical underpinnings of The Good Place.

### Review
“In Superconvergence, Jamie Metzl takes readers on a magical journey through the science of the intersecting genetics, biotech, and AI revolutions, deeply explores the implications, and challenges us to think creatively and proactively about what comes next. Very few books are absolute must-reads. This is one.”―Siddhartha Mukherjee, assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University and author of The Gene: An Intimate History
"During the 25 years I have known Jamie Metzl, he has always been ahead of the curve. There is no one better to help us understand and prepare for the fast-approaching technological revolutions. Superconvergence is brilliant. I can't recommend it more strongly."―Sanjay Gupta MD, bestseller author, neurosurgeon, and Emmy-award winning chief medical correspondent (CNN)
"Our world is defined by our science and technology—whether we like it or not. The question now is not whether to use these powers, but how best to use them. In Superconvergence, Jamie Metzl takes us on a journey through the new capabilities that are radically transforming ecosystems inside us and around us, challenging each of us to get personally involved with building the future we want."―Beth Shapiro, University of California Santa Cruz evolutionary biologist and author of Life as We Made It: How 50,000 Years of Human Innovation Refined―and Redefined―Nature
"In a fine counter-blast to the pessimism of today, Jamie Metzl lays out just how spectacular the future of humanity and planet can be if we harness innovation responsibly and imaginatively to create what he calls the 'spiral of progress.'"―Matt Ridley, author of How Innovation Works, and co-author of Viral: The search for the Origin of Covid-19
“A page-turning journey through space and time that shows us how our lives will be changed by imminent technological advances we once only dreamed of.”―David Sinclair, Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, and author of Lifespan: Why We Age―and Why We Don't Have To
“The superconvergence of the genetics, biotechnology, and AI revolutions provides spectacular opportunities for building a better world. It also represents an almost limitless investment opportunity. We were excited to collaborate with Jamie Metzl, one of the world's great experts on how these aspirations can best be realized, including in capital markets. Superconvergence is a master class for imagining, investing in, and building a future we'd like to inhabit."―Jeremy Schwartz, Global Chief Investment Officer, WisdomTree
“A clear examination of a transitional moment in the story of life on Earth…. Metzl capably describes recent developments in genetics and biotech and looks at how AI is providing an analytical engine of unprecedented power…. An important book in which the author sets out a path for the future based on his experience and expertise.”―Kirkus
“Erudite, optimistic, and timely.”―Science Magazine
"[In Superconvergence] Mr. Metzl has identified an important truth: that the convergence of new technologies is galvanizing us to reimagine how to meet urgent challenges in medicine and the environment. It’s a compelling opportunity—provided we manage to sidestep self-induced catastrophes along the way."―The Wall Street Journal
