The Science ofConsciousness conference, April 2-7, 2018

Hi Jeffrey

Hope all is well. The Science of Consciousness conference is coming around again, this time in Tucson at a fabulous resort (maybe even by your standards) April 2-7. The Program is below. We are holding one spot for Roger in Plenary 9 who will let us know shortly. Noam will speak Monday night April 2. Can you come?

We get by more or less on registration fees, but could use your generous help again please. Pretty please.

On another note, see attached article from March Discover Magazine. It pokes a lot of fun at me, but says that, while I was considered a crackpot, evidence and scientific support are now coming our way.

Hi from Betsy
best wishes
Stuart
