🗺🏴🇮🇪🇩🇪 Remote jobs, journalist's fellowships and great news (at least for me)!
Hi everyone! It’s been a month since the last issue, and I’m sorry for that. However, if you follow me on Twitter, you may suspect the reason. There’s been a major change in my life: together with Fernando Gomollón and Pablo Dols, I’m launching Agata Communications. A communication agency dedicated to making complicated things easy. We’re starting with two Europen projects in our hands (that has kept us busy as bees this month), and other cool plans. Read this Twitter thread if you’re interested. You’ll hear from us in the future on this newsletter for sure :)
In other news, Odo and Lucienne (my cats) are now living together! They snarl at each other sometimes, but less and less with each passing day. I’ve been listening to a lot of music this month (writing reports usually comes with that perk), so it’s difficult to choose a song for this issue. So… here’s Pearl Jam’s I am mine. Stay safe, and see you in the next issue!
