Computer scientists in training! Rust lobbyists! Avid defenders of BlueJ! Students in Computer Science!

Have you ever felt that the working environment on campus and the other studying environments are in dire need of improvement? Have you ever suffered an injury, major or nominal, while studying or performing chapter related activities? Does your mood get lowered by the mere sight of the buildings and rooms on campus and do you wish they'd do something to make it a little more cozy and homely? Do the chairs in the lecture halls hurt your back? Or do you simply have any other complaint or suggestion in regards to how the studying and working environment could be improved here at KTH?

If so, I want to hear about it! As the chapters safety representative my job is to do what I can to improve the working environment for all computer science students, and the issues can be both in regards to physical or psychological issues. My job can be both preventative or helping you handle specific private issues, but to do this properly I will need your assistance!

If you discover a potential hazard, or simply have a suggestion on how to improve the general environment on campus, don't hesitate to contact me immediately at: sso@d.kth.se No change is too small to make a difference, and no issues are to big to solve!

Take care and stay safe, Emil Wallgren Your humble Student Safety Representative

• The number of Boeing 747's ever built
• The number of calories you'd be eating if you had "one of everything" from the Taco Bell menu
• The length of the shortest border any country shares with Russia, in miles

We will also have time at the end of the Estimathon for a Q&A with Jane Street Traders, Software Engineers, and Recruiters for anyone who would like to learn more about careers at Jane Street. More details can be found in the facebook event! Sign up by yourself or with your team at latest the 3rd of February here!

Hey hey!

According to tradition, DKM has a collection together with musikhjälpen every year. This year we will, however, not have a musikhjälpen-pub as we usually arrange. Instead, everyone who donates will be allowed to queue a song during the first pub of next year, the THEMEPUB on the 26/1. In order to donate, click here ♥️ This year, musikhjälpen aims to create a better would, without child labour.

Thank you!
