We will be holding the fifth meeting of the Tony Durston Maverick Fellows’ Network on May 2nd. It marks the first anniversary of the network. In the past year, our fellows have taken turns to give presentations on their (often very personal) reasons for departing from scientific dogma, and for wanting to be part of the network. A new fellow will be joining us, and we are excited to be expanding the network. Who knows what the next year will bring, in terms of our exploration of the nature of self, reality and consciousness. We look forward to finding out! If you want to join us, get in touch. We can explore whether the network is a fit for you together.
