Hearing Restoration and Hair Cell Regeneration Symposium — October 8 in NYC

[Hazel]

Hi all,

We were just wondering whether anyone in or near New York City is able to attend this event?: https://hearinghealthfoundation.org...eak-at-new-york-academy-of-sciences-symposium

It sounds like it could provide a nice overview of what's going on in hearing regeneration research. The Hearing Health Foundation is sending a speaker, amongst others.

Please let us know if you're planning to go! It would be great if someone could write up a report or blog on the event.

Cheers,
Hazel

Hoping one of you good folks can attend this... It's important.

Bumping this thread as a reminder.

Zebrafish discussion that's crazy, hope someone sees that commentary.

Watching this video and realizing that we might one day be able to regenerate our damaged tissues brought me to tears. Can you imagine the insanely beautiful ability that will be for so many sufferers out there? God I wish I had the ability.

I really do applaud them for hosting this gathering of scientists to share info and progress on our chase for a cure.

It does feel a little disappointing that they charge so much to attend, although I know it costs money to host.

$65 for average Joe's like you and me just to watch the discussion online.

I hope it's very fruitful. I don't know how to help accelerate real research.

Bit pricey ehhhhh, that feeds a poor family - 3 days for me and I have a family of five. We are under the "poverty line" in the USA. Perhaps they would do better with a donation scheme.
Such is life, maybe the guy who runs Amazon, or Mr. Buffet could donate a day's wages since they earn $2,000 dollars an hour, or is it a minute, I forgot.

Those who plan on spending the 65 dollars, that might be better spent on a donation to researchers.

I am quite sure that most if not all of it will be over my head.

Luman you're brilliant, don't be so modest.
Ain't nothing going over your head man. If you can get off work and have some extra cash go, or just break in through a side or back door, or wear a badge saying you're somebody important.

2 days.
