We welcome you to the historic First International Conference on Paranatural Studies, in London, UK.

For the first time, the scientific community gathers to discuss the biological, social, and political implications of people identified as paranatural. For too long such groups have been shrouded behind legends and superstition. Now, we work to bring about greater understanding of these individuals, their history, and their place in society.

The conference will bring together researchers and scholars from all over the world.

With a week of lectures, presentations, and panel discussions scheduled, this promises to be one of the most thorough and far-reaching conferences of its kind ever held.

The event is co-sponsored by the British Alternative Biologies Laboratory and the U.S. National Institutes of Health's Center for the Study of Paranatural Biology.
