WHEN: 21 August 2011 07:33:42PM (-0400)

WHERE: MIT Stata Center 32 Vassar St Cambridge, MA

Please note that this meetup has been rescheduled from August 14th to August 21st. I've invited a guest speaker for a Cambridge Less Wrong meetup on August 14th. Ken Hayworth is a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard's Lichtman Lab and a co-founder of the Brain Preservation Foundation. He'll be giving a talk on his work implementing mind uploading via high-throughput electron microscopy. Ken's talk won't take up the entire meetup, any suggestions for group activities are welcome. The meetup will be on Sunday, August 14th at 2pm, in the MIT Stata Center, room 261. The entrance is shown in Google Maps at http://goo.gl/maps/l0Cq.

Usual plea: please when referring to "Cambridge" make it clear whether it's Cambridge, MA or Cambridge, UK. Thanks.

What is the exact time? As pointed out in another comment, it's likely that 7:33:42 pm is not correct. Should the time be 7:30 pm or is it earlier?

07:33:42PM is probably not the right time.

So, did the meeting take place? Anyone got the footage?

What are the chances of streaming this meetup-event over the internet via webcam so those of us unfortunate enough to live further away will be able to catch (and maybe even participate in) that event?

Taping it may also be an option if people are comfortable with it.

I'm very interested in what he has to say, so I would really hate to miss it.

I'm planning to tape the talk, provided I can get clearances.
