GN Directors Co-Chair SAND XI at the Pasteur Institute, Paris (July 7-9, 2014)

The Green Neuro Laboratory proudly co-sponsored the 11th Annual Meeting of the Society for Autonomous Neurodynamics. Dr. Ohayon and Dr. Lam chaired the event together with Dr. Guillaume Dumas of the Human Genetics & Cognitive Function Lab, Institut Pasteur and Célya Gruson-Daniel of HackYourPhD.

Dr. Dumas live tweeted the meeting @introspection #SAND14. Talks by attendees from Canada, the US, the Netherlands, Poland, France, England, and Thailand sure kept things lively!

Thanks to Celya we also toured the biohacker space La Paillasse [http://lapaillasse.org/].

Founder Thomas Landrian kindly showed us the labs-in-development and we met a few of the denizens of the space and enjoyed tasty hors d’oeuvre. Merci La Paillasse!
