Summer is here at swissnex Boston! Last month we were pleased to bring you the virtual robotic installation "Handshake", which saw more than 3000 visitors and 1000 participants. In addition to more virtual events, we were thrilled to bring you two issues of experiment_ in the month of June.
This month we have more exciting things planned, including our casual monthly chat series CrossLinks and the next LASER Talk. More on all of that below!
