Throughout the past five years we’ve often invited our contributors to write reports about conferences, workshops and lectures.  The conference reports listed below are meant to both inform readers who were unable to attend and to provide critical commentaries on the events.  If you are interested in writing a report about a conference, workshop or lecture that you’ve recently taken part in, get in touch with us at admin AT somatosphere DOT net.
