Terasem Colloquia are held twice a year in July and December, via Zoom. The theme alternates between spaceflight and neuroscience/consciousness studies.
There's synergy between the Colloquia and the Journals. The authors of the papers accepted for publication in the Journals are encouraged to also give a talk at the Colloquia, and the speakers invited to give talks at the Colloquia are encouraged to also write a paper for the Journal.
