As the fate of SNAP hinges on an ongoing legal battle, local groups are taking matters into their own hands. Held Space, a local creative collective dedicated to physical and mental health, will host its annual fundraising bake sale this Saturday, November 16. Stop by 960 Manhattan Avenue from 1 to 4 pm to buy some sweet treats from talented local bakers.
When the National Astronomy Meeting, organized by the UK Royal Astronomical Society, descended on Durham University in July, Martina Veresvarska saw the gathering as an opportunity not just to talk shop, but also to indulge her baking hobby. The annual conference, usually held in the British Isles, is one of the largest of its kind in Europe. Veresvarska is a PhD candidate at the UK university's Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy and a co-founder of the astronomy department's charity bake-sale organization, Cakes for Good.
