Y'all have a great time in Washington!

Yours truly won't be coming to the big neuroscience bash in DC. Boo-hooo!!! The program sounds fabulous. My Nature Neuroscience and Nature colleagues will be giving a talk on how to get published with us, on Monday, Nov 14, at 6:30 pm. We're also going to distribute flyers publicizing this blog, so I hope for lots of new blog participants once everybody is back home with their jet lags slept off.

"Left behind" as I am, I'd love to hear from you conventioneers on this blog. Please leave a comment about whatever you found particularly inspiring, exciting, controversial, ..., at the meeting. I may put those up front as blog entries, and you might spawn some interesting discussions. Also, I'm itching to hear whether the Dalai Lama will give a sensible talk, or whether he'll spout nonsense about brain imaging proving Buddhist "compassion", as Northwestern U.'s Yi Rao fears (read his opinion, and an opposing one, here.)

Have a great trip everyone!

This blog is looking very promising. Great initiative!
Being a cognitive neuroscientist myself, i find this more "loose" approach very interesting.

BTW, please also visit our own just started blog on neuroethics (http://brainethics.blogspot.com/). We have already linked to you.

best wishes,
Thomas
