The last activity of the day was fun! Everyone used their best creative skills to come up with unusual projects. If you wanna know more about anti-aphrodisiac perfumes or dragon kingdoms, ask the winners 🐲🌊

There's a good chance I'd have never been able to to enter the field of complex systems if it weren't for the SECS grant provided by @yrcss.bsky.social. If you know a prospective researcher interested in the field, tell them to apply!
