AUGUST 6-8, 2026 

Please mark your calendars - the BC CANLAB reunion & conference is happening!

Thursday evening (Aug 6): Welcome

For those already in the area this evening, join for a casual dinner at Elizabeth’s house. Jon looks forward to doing some cooking, and we will possibly also order in some food from restaurants that have been favorites at lab lunches over the years. For the kids (or kids-at-heart), if weather cooperates, we plan to have a screen set up outside for an outdoor movie night (probably Inside Out 2). Approx 6-9pm. Come by for any/all of the time as your schedule allows.

Friday (Aug 7): talks at Boston college

Return to the BC campus for a day of short talks. Coffee breaks and lunch will be onsite.

For those able to stay for dinner, I am thinking possibly CitySide, since it’s one of the few restaurants in the BC area that’s been around since the first days of CANLAB.

Saturday (Aug 8): Explore Boston and Cambridge together

One idea is to have lunch while on a Charles River boat cruise, followed by some time at the Harvard Museum of Natural History (which is next door to the MRI center where many of you have spent a lot of time collecting data).

We will end our time together with an early (5:30-7:30pm) dinner at Alden & Harlow in Harvard Square.

Hotel Information

The AC Marriott in Cleveland Circle will give a discounted rate (approx. $200/night) if you call and indicate that you are with the Boston College CANLAB reunion. Their rates do fluctuate quite a lot, so it is possible that AAA or another discount you have access to will match that rate if you book online.
