International Forum on Consciousness
Save the Date: May 21-22, 2026
The 2026 International Forum on Consciousness explores the many ways intelligence and awareness manifest beyond conventional cognition. This year’s theme centers on other ways of knowing—forms of perception and insight that emerge through intuition, embodiment, neurodiversity, animal and plant cognition, indigenous and Eastern contemplative traditions, altered states, and even emerging machine awareness.
20th Annual Wisconsin Stem Cell Symposium
SAVE THE DATE: APRIL 15, 2026
This year’s Symposium, entitled: Decoding the Regenerative Dialogue Between Inflammatory and Stem Cell Pathways, explores a fundamental question in regenerative biology: how inflammation and the immune system work together with tissue stem cells to drive repair and recovery after injury. While inflammation is often viewed as harmful, growing evidence shows that immune signals can also play an essential and instructive role in guiding tissue-resident stem cells to rebuild damaged tissues and restore function.
