 Some time ago, we decided to have an IQ Science Halloween party: eating cupcakes and drinking milk and co on Friday, during the lecture. For that, we first had to make the. So our computer science professor offered his kitchen for that purpose. Basic recipe: put together some student-scientists-to-be, some professors, a dog, pizza, music, and a lot of fun.

But finally on Friday I was able to bring a contribution and set up a table outside the Common, where we gave away free organic chocolate.

And thanks to Alex, at some point GreenUR also offered some of the IQS cupcakes:
