Dear members,

It’s almost time for our annual lunch lecture again! On the 21st of September we have organized a very interesting speaker for you:

Dr Febe van Maldegem is group leader in the Department of Molecular Cell Biology & Immunology. Her work focusses on the complex role of the tumour microenvironment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), crucial for mediating anti-tumour immunity, but more frequently imposing resistance to therapy. She wil tell you all there is to know about “The tumour microenvironment: not just a bag of cells.” Non-cancer cells infiltrating the tumour are thought to strongly influence cancer progression and responses to therapy. But how do they influence each other? Deciphering the local cellular neighbourghoods may be the key to understanding.

The lecture will take place at WN-C121 and will be from 12:45 till 13:30. Furthermore we will provide you with a delicious FREE lunch so you don’t want to miss this. Interested yet? sign up through this link (the first 40 will receive a free lunch so be quick!) gyrinus.nl/lunchlecture 

The fun tradition of the annual Looping Louie competition is coming soon again! You’ll get the opportunity to show off with your teammate and the best team will win a prize. This fun game is very simple: use Louie the pilot to knock down the chickens of your opponent and try to protect your own!

Sign you and your teammate up at the borrel from 17:00 and of course a fun team name can’t be missed!

See you there!
Love, the Spelcie

Date: Wednesday 14th of September
Time: from 18:00
Place: in front of the Tegenstelling (WN-D107)

Dear freshmen and old hands,

It is almost that time of the year again. The most beautiful and beloved bar of the VU, De Tegenstelling, will be opening its doors again on September 7th! On this day you will truly experience a Wednesdayborrel with the most ‘gezellige’ people, create memories with (new) friends to cherish forever and of course drink the tastiest drinks we have to offer.
We hope to see you all, old and new, at 17:00 in De Tegenstelling (WN-D103)!

Dear borrelaars, 

We have good news and we have bad news. The bad news is that the end of the Gyrinus season is near. The good news is that we will celebrate the end of the academic year with the Last Stelling Eve! During this evening a wonderful Indonesian rice table will be served by a group of employees of the VU! You can sign up for this dinner via Gyrinus.nl/lse2022. There are limited spots, so sign up quickly! Trust us, you do not want to miss out on this! The price for the dinner is to be determined. We hope to see you at the LSE; It’s gonna be legen — wait for it … and I hope you’re not lactose-intolerant ’cause the second half of that word is — da(i)ry!   

Love, The Alcoholaat
