​

Q: Hey, what is with the time? 

A: We want to be able to meet our friends across continents and the best way to do it is usually around UTC2PM, which is morning for the Americas, afternoon for EMEA, and night for Asia Pacific. Morning coffee, afternoon coffee, and... decaf coffee/coffee liquor. Though, you don't have to restrict yourself to bean juice - leaf juice works too! Whatever that floats your boat!

​

A: This form, or any other contact method to SiM.

​

Q: What if the platform lags and crashes?
A: That is my fear too, but who knows if we don't ever try? We're people of science, my friend. Its the experimental method!

​

Q: Can we log onto the space after hours?

A: Yes, sure! Treat it like a virtual office space and interact with your virtual colleagues!
