In 2019, the Neurocritical Care Society launched their Curing Coma Campaign with the bold challenge of finally understanding the mechanisms of coma and hopefully discovering ways to reverse it. Dr. DaiWai Olson, one of the Campaign’s organizers, suggested they would need to go beyond the bounds of a small circle of scientists, rather they would need to include a larger community and think outside the box.  With those words as guidance, there is no place on earth that fits the label of community and creativity better than Burning Man.  Burning Man has been called many things, but in reality, it’s whatever you want it to be.  For many, it’s the ultimate gathering of highly creative people who build a vibrant city and community for one week in the year.

There are many members of the Neurocritical Care Society (NCS) that fit that description.  And there are quite a few Burners already lurking within that Society.  If you have always wanted to go and just need to get over that last little bit of anxiety (e.g. the ticket says you accept the risk of dying there), then perhaps we can help by forming Coma Camp where we fight the elements and enjoy the stimulation together.
