We do not suggest you throw your tea into the East China Sea. Instead, drink it and have some cookies. The Boston Tea Party, as described by Mr. Dawes Jr. in Mary Poppins (1964):

Mr. Dawes Jr: In seventeen hundred & seventy three, An official of this bank unwisely loaned a large sum of money to finance a shipment of tea to the American Colonies... Do you know what happened?

George W. Banks: Yes sir, yes I think I do. As the ship lay in Boston harbor, a party of colonists, dressed as Red Indians, boarded the vessel, behaved rudely, and threw all the tea overboard. This made the tea unsuitable for drinking — even for Americans!

Join us for teatime at 16:00, Thursday, Restaurant Level of Center Building. Please bring your own tea-holding vessel.

"Planning Your Scientific Journey" series is great for anybody who is working on developing an impactful and answerable scientific question and/or designing a research program for current and future positions. Note: enrollment in the iBiology FREE on-line course and a laptop are required.

We are pleased to announce a symposium for Environmental Sciences at OIST.

The Topology and Geometry Seminar aims to introduce current mathematical research topics starting from the very basics. We also invite members of other units to talk about the mathematical aspects of their research area. Anyone interested in mathematics is welcome to attend.

This week, Yasha Neiman (Quantum Gravity Unit) will give a guest lecture on "Geometry in real life".

Lecturer: Dr. Roger Cashmore, Chairman of the UK Atomic Energy Authority. Language: English only. Open to public.
