Newman House

As I near the end of my undergraduate studies, I would like to dedicate a blog to what has shaped me perhaps the most during my time here - and I'm not referring to the invaluable professors or internships I've written about on this blog, but to life in the Newman House Chaplaincy. While Oxford or Cambridge have their own halls of residence, which serve, among other things, as meeting places for different disciplines and community building, most London universities do not have this tradition, and students live on their own in flats or private halls of residence. In my first year I lived in a dormitory assigned by my university, but in my second and final (fourth) year, I found a home in Newman House.

What Connects the OECD and Mladá Boleslav? or My Experience from an Internship on Economic Migration

When I was filling in the application form for the database of the international organisation based in Paris this spring, I naturally tried not to let it slip that I speak French and I love working in an international environment. In the end I hardly used French during my four months working for the OECD, but I was able to participate in the carrying out of a project for the Czech government, which I would now like to share with you.

The combination of covid and bachelor's exams is not entirely funny

When it comes to my health, I am very careful and afraid of every disease. Thus, I have completely isolated myself from society and only had been meeting with a small number of acquaintances / family, since March 2020. My plan was simple – to not catch covid and get vaccinated as soon as possible. Since I studied online and also had my job online, I managed to avoid the infection quite well all year.

Origin of SARS-CoV-2

Welcome to another piece from the long saga of posts talking about COVID in one way or another - it just really is a topic that keeps on giving. In this volume of my thoughts about COVID, I would like to talk about a topic recently refloated by vigilant scientists and media - the Origin of SARS-CoV-2.
