Sparks Brain Preservation, a preservation services provider and research organization, is hosting a two-day gathering of researchers, clinicians, and thinkers working on the scientific foundations of brain preservation, hosted at their facility in Salem, Oregon, on the weekend of September 19-20.
I think it will be both fascinating and fun - there are lots of great speakers working on the cutting edge of brain preservation science and services, including:
Alexander German (Hiber, recently published a paper on the first recovery of electrical activity from intact whole brains after vitrification)
Andrew McKenzie (host, brain preservation scientist at Sparks)
Anton Arkhipov (vonnectomics researcher at the Allen Institute)
Ariel Zeleznikow-Johnston (yours truly!)
Borys Wrobel (brain preservation scientist at Nectome)
Carrie Radomski (advocate for radical life extension)
Emil Kendziorra (CEO of Tomorrow Biostasis)
John Smart (futurist, board member of the Brain Preservation Foundation)
Jordan Sparks (host, founder of Sparks Brain Preservation)
Keith Wiley (engineer at the Allen Institute, philosopher of mind)
Ken Hayworth (electron microscopy & connectomics expert, president of the Brain Preservation Foundation)
Mati Roy (advocate for radical life extension)
Max More (former CEO of Alcor, advocate for radical life extension)
Nikki Olson (director of technical operations at Alcor)
Nuno Martins (advocate for radical life extension)
Randal Koene (neuroscientist, president of the Carboncopies Foundation)
Suzan Dziennis (scientist at Advanced Neural Biosciences)
Todd Huffman (entrepreneur, brain preservation advocate)
