I would attend if it were in Chicago or New York - why it’s always California?

I went to one a few months back and got to meet Rapadmin and two others members. Meeting them was a highlight for me!!!
I mean they will bring the “microplastics brain” Matt Campen over…
Anyone else planning on attending? Join us. We have at least 3 of us now from what I’ve heard.

If they wind up having any last minute deals I might come up for one of the days because I loved meeting forum member IRL!!! (I can’t stomach the $500
Otherwise, I see we can watch remotely.

Well, I’d like to ask Matt Campen what he thinks of
(and the other skeptics of his pyrolysis => brain microplastics paper)
His paper scared a lot of people this year, but a number of experts in exposomics later expressed skepticism about his pyrolysis- methodology
