Featuring Keynote presentation by Autumn Sorrells, MS

Autumn Sorrells has spent the last seven years assisting Elon Musk’s company, Neuralink in reaching their first clinical trials which they achieved in April of this year. Her focus has been animal welfare refinements in the medical research field to improve how we collect valuable data while respecting the lives that make it possible. Autumn’s new venture as a contracting animal welfare scientist allows her to take the refinements they were able to achieve at Neuralink and implement them in laboratories across the Bay Area, advancing our industry as a whole.
