Point 1: Urban garden trial with pea plants

(Rachel, 10min) symbiotic bacteria already frozen at UNIL, but pea sprouting is very slow...

Point 2: Visit by Thomas Mboa 30June

(Rachel, 10min)
Workshop event - comparing DIY Spectros, plus!
Timing still not confirmed!
Ramy also to come!

Point 3: Visit by Tania Jenkins, SCNAT

(Rachel, 10min)
Tania Jenkins wrote about planning an outreach event on gene technologies with a link to „who should do research“ in Lausanne in spring 2019.
They would like to consider Hackuarium as a potential venue, and have talked to Juliette about it too.
Big questions: is Hackuarium with UC ready to host something with 100 people?
RA thinks it could be good - but they are also considering other venues, and are still not sure about format for the event.

Who would like to join in to meet her and a colleague from Bern on 12 July?
(RA is away between 8-19july)

Point 4: Leman Make

update
lucP and Olivier both have tables.
to have them next to us too!
who else will be here?
Rachel could do paper foldscopes again...
Do board members agree she could get a minigrant to order the lenses (50 lenses is about 50USD plus shipping) and get the heavy paper etc and other things for magnetic fixations? Total budget to be estimated - should we aim for 100 or even more??

other ideas for the Hackuarium table??
