InfiniteNow Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I have been to a few uber-fascinating neuroscience symposia when I was in college, and have wondered around a few other astronomy and psychology presentations and discussions, but want to explore more. Any suggestions? Please, do not worry about limiting responses due to topic or area covered, but please include: Symposium typeGeneral locationGeneral timeframe/scheduleAny other relevant info. Thanks, and cheers! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I had a GREAT time at the 10th Symposium on Space Exploration hosted by the International Space University in Strasbourg last November. Here's the link for the one I attended. There will be a new programme this year. It was about both manned and unmanned exploration, space history, law, international affairs etc. Speakers from USA and Europe as well as China, Japan and Russia made it a really international event, with particularly unique look into what China are doing. Most of the participants are students at ISU, while the rest come from the space industry or agencies (like myself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you didn't include the link! :rolleyes: Also, I am a member of this group called the Planetary Society and they have a bunch of pretty cool events around the globe. Fun stuff for sure!

InfiniteNow Posted January 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Anyone else have a suggestion? One of the neuroscience ones I went to featured a department of folks who were studying electric fish. These fish get perceptual information by sensing the change in magnetic fields around their body... fields which they generate through an electrical organ... I just love learning new things and peering into the mysteries of the universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
