The To Dah Loo is the monthly newsletter that is posted on the doors of the toilets at Science Park 904. It is especially made for UvA Science Students and published by the Faculty of Science in cooperation with the Faculty Student Council.

Eventhough Science Park is closed, which means the toilets are unused, there is still a To Dah Loo for the month of May. It is being spread online and can be found here.

I'm going to cry in a corner, be right back...

Two wonderful study trips were planned for this week: one to Sofia and one to Zagreb (via Munich). We were going to see the most beautiful buildings, visit the most interesting companies and go to the nicest pubs. Sigh. The good news: At the moment it is raining in Munich (in Sofia and Zagreb the weather is beautiful, but we will just ignore that for now).
