April 30 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Our speaker this month is Jordan Sparks with the Sparks Brain Preservation organization in Oregon.
Jordan will tell us about his project, which was formerly the Oregon Brain Preservation, and before that Jordan formed Oregon Cryonics.
This is an entirely different type of bio-stasis then cryonics. Their stated goal is to preserve the structure of the entire brain at a fine ultrastructural level. This includes the synaptic architecture as well as detailed molecular information such as protein post-translational modifications, cellular epigenetic patterns, and subcellular distributions of molecules.
Our event is in ZOOM Only, no in person meeting this month, opening at 6:00 PM for our social hour, with the main event starting at 7:00 PM Eastern Time.
