• This forum is specifically for the discussion of factual science and technology. When the topic moves to speculation, then it needs to also move to the parent forum, Science Fiction and Fantasy (SF/F).

    If the topic of a discussion becomes political, even remotely so, then it immediately does no longer belong here. Failure to comply with these simple and reasonable guidelines will result in one of the following.
    1. the thread will be moved to the appropriate forum
    2. the thread will be closed to further posts.
    3. the thread will remain, but the posts that deviate from the topic will be relocated or deleted.
    Thank you for understanding.​

I should pray to god you don't make all your life decisions based on the responses of anonymous idiots in an internet forum.

That said, yes! Absolutely!

It all depends on which aspect of your biology they wish to prospect. If it's a part that will grow back, then I say "Go for it!"

Sadly, what happens at these conferences is that people do presentations...usually with some kind of Powerpoint thing...

You get to meet extraordinary people, but in a rather forced way...I mean they are there to do some business and they are cashing in (to some
degree) on their extraordinariness. And sometimes the scientific stuff
is astounding. This conference sounds pretty interesting I have to admit.

There's the rub. After 40 years of drinking and ski-ing and so on...

I don't drink much and I ski even less.

I'm not even sure about the habitual encounter with extreme extremophile
biologists these days.

Otherwise I guess I would get my tickets and so on.

Drink is fearfully expensive in Norway. I hope you're on expenses

Sounds like fun, Higgins. Also sounds like real science, not fiction, so I moved this thread here, to the Science Fact sub-forum.
