CRI #6: The day after the blackout. Plan B: 07th May, 18h00
28 Abril 2025, 18:00 • Ana Moutinho
Dear All,
Hope you’re all safe and sound.
Yesterday
we had the blackout and all comms were down.
I am terribly sorry for the lack of news, but we had no way to reach you (I couldn’t get phone, email or access to Fenix).
Plan B: as we all have a slot next week allocated to the CRI evaluation – the 07th May, from 18h00 – my proposal is that we all meet in class (F2, room 103) and do the SciArt presentations (got your materials).
The final essay should be sent by email, before the 18h00, 07th May, as scheduled.
In case any of you has any kind of problem with this arrangement, please let me know.
Hugs,
Ana

So, today is April Fool’s Day. On this day, people traditionally play practical jokes on each other and have fun trying to make other people believe things that are not true. Not listed by UN, though.

Next week we'll be talking about Visual Narratives and Data Viz.
