World Univ & SchAgenda & News
1 The World University and School's home page is updated with 29 majors (from 6) - worlduniversityandschool.org - and how to apply to WUaS for this January 2021 for free-to-students' online Bachelor's degrees, first in English, in WUaS's new partnering with edX with more than 3,000 edX courses for students to choose from.
2Thanks to Houcemeddine Turki for attending the WUaS News and Q&A on Monday, 11/16 from Tunisia. Thanks too to Houcemeddine for saying you think you might be able to have the beginnings of a new WUaS web site with a Wikidata / Wikibase installation in about 2 weeks from last Monday, I think - so Monday November 30th, 2021, beginning with this updated information -- worlduniversityandschool.org - and our wiki, here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - for example, and potentially for our new 29 majors.
WUaS is seeking to plan for our matriculating students in all ~200 countries, wiki Universitians in all 7,117 known living languages, and, brainstorming-wise, wiki teachers and learners among all 7.8 billion people on the planet with time. Each matriculating student and wiki WUaS Universitian would get a Wikidata Q-item # or related forked Wikidata Pin #, and for accreditation and licensing purposes in the state of California, among the 5 reasons I've already shared with you - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html - to begin.
WUaS is seeking to matriculate 50-400 online students for free-to-students' Bachelor (licensing and accrediting) degrees beginning in January 2021, so we'd love to get this new WUaS web site development up soon, so we can reach out to the 8 or so heads of WUaS is a variety of countries, in seeking about 50 students from each of their countries who speak English then.
3Thanks too to Nicolai in Romania for saying that he'd seek to facilitate a news' interview for World Univ & Sch on Romanian TV.

MIT: Thinking with Microbes - a seminar series on infection, disease and finitude
https://twitter.com/MITanthropology/status/1329097282604527617?s=20
A question for Heather & Celia: first of all, thank you again for this excellent conversation! If scientists, anthropologists, and researchers begin to blockchain microbes (see George Church video & Tweets below) and viruses for further study re security (of blockchains) at cellular and atomic levels, including block chaining genomics for privacy in reproduction - how might we best begin to study this socioculturally (in the context of ‘internality,’ that is analytically post ‘modernity,’ and post ‘postmodernity’ - as conditions) as context informing the finitude of Covid-19, for ex.?

Thinking with Microbes - a seminar series on infection, disease and finitude
Centre for Invention and Social Process, Goldsmiths, University of London
Speakers: Celia Lowe and Heather Paxson
Chaired by Bryan Lim & Marsha Rosengarten
Prevailing ideas around the autonomous self are being revised in the field of biology. No longer framed as the study of self-contained entities, biology increasingly appreciates ‘individual’ animals as organised multispecies consortias living in symbiotic commune. This ecological shift in the biological sciences is also paralleled by a similar turn to the ‘non-human’ in the social sciences and humanities, and can be seen more specifically in the work of scholars affiliated with philosophical Posthumanism and other related and cognate fields such as human-animal studies, political ecology, new materialisms and multispecies ethnography. Focusing on human entanglements and dependencies with insects (Beisel, Kelly, & Tousignant, 2013; Raffles, 2010), dogs (Haraway, 2008; Kohn, 2007), meerkats (Candea, 2010), forests (Kohn, 2013), plants (Hustak & Myers, 2012) and matsutake mushrooms (Tsing, 2015), scholars have interrogated anthropocentrism by illustrating the myriad of ways in which the world we inhabit and what we are, only comes-into-being through multispecies engagements. Anthropologist and multispecies scholar, Stefan Helmreich (2014), proposes for example, that the human, Homo sapien be reconceptualised as Homo microbis, a fleshy assemblage co-produced with and through messy entanglements with our more-than-human microbial companions whom we share the world with.
As a means of thinking through the pragmatics of being kin with more-than-human others, such research has thus far tended to focus on commensal or at the very least, non-lethal others as a means of illustrating symbiotic relations that challenges the idea of human exceptionalism and atomistic self-sufficiency. From helminths to gut bacteria to palm trees and sheep, living with these more-than-human others may be problematic and inconvenient at times, but very rarely do they pose a direct threat to human life. Yet, the recent emergence of COVID-19 raises a different set of questions related to finitude - both for the virus, and for us humans. What might it mean to embrace an ‘unloved’ and ‘unloving’ other, if doing so also simultaneously threatens to obliterate one’s very own existence? Faced with a lethal and omnipresent microbe, how do we reckon with the kinds of biopolitical and microbiopolitical calculations needed to reassemble modern life? Is the eradication and/or elimination of such unfavourable microbes the only way forward? Untethered from the drive towards eradication, what then might microbes and infectious diseases have to teach us about different ways of wading through viral clouds, uncertain episto-ontological projects and proliferating utopian and apocalyptic futures?

FAHE's November Event: Quakers, Social Work and Justice Concerns
Wed, Nov 18, 5:45 PM (19 hours ago)to paxsonHi Heather, Thank you for your excellent talk this morning - https://twitter.com/MITanthropology/status/1329097282604527617?s=20. I'm putting the question I asked in the chat at its close here and below
If scientists, anthropologists, and researchers begin to blockchain microbes (see George Church video & Tweets below) and virus for further study re security (of blockchains) at cellular and atomic levels, including block chaining genomics for privacy in reproduction - how might we best begin to study this socioculturally (in the context of ‘internality,’ that is analytically post ‘modernity,’ and post ‘postmodernity’ - as conditions) as context informing the finitude of Covid-19, for ex.?

I tried to make something similar using, first, the Lego WeDo 2.0 Robotics' Tutorial for a vehicle, but it didn't work out ... I really like the tutorial for this ... So just getting back into making Lego Robotics with WeDo 2.0 (which I have) ... and seeking to program it with Scratch3.0 programming languages, for which there aren't any tutorials ... so time to explore and innovate ...

Ma,
I'd like to play through the WeDo 2.0 tutorial in a completely new & FUN way (and not somehow a self-created frustrated way :) ... which fun the WeDo1 tutorial facilitated ... but playing beyond the Tutorial some months ago didn't much emerge afterward ...There is, however, an online talk I'm attending on Thursday about Lego play & learning ... ),
.... and perhaps incorporating Scratch3, before heading on to the 2 other Lego Robotics' kits, is something I'd like to do with my WeDo2.0 too -
Lego robot cycle exploration with Twitter example 17 Nov 20.jpg
I also have in mind creating Intro Lego Robotics' courses for WUaS (possibly in WUaS Open edX, and per - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/ ) for this
Glad to have gotten out my Wedo2 robotics' Lego today and made something ... now as I read the well-known book interested much in JS Bach's music, "Goedel, Escher Bach," by Douglas Hofstaedter (with some Stanford and Oregon in the 1970s roots), time to get out my keyboard and explore playing JS Bach's Inventions and Fugues, hands on ...
I remember George Alexander MD read this book with someone in Cambridge, MA (Charlie Nesson???), and invited me to read it with them, before he passed away ... in the 2000s.
Love, Scott

Ma,
Just added this bio of you, which I like (think is good), to your WikiTree page, in Notes - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brown-92989 -
Volunteer of the Month-Jane MacLeod (bio)
https://www.cmu.edu/osher/publications/weekly-essentials/2018/volunteer-of-the-week/volunteer-of-the-month-jane-macleod.html
Would love to add this photo of you in front of the Magna Carta commemoration stone in the British Isles, to WikiTree, but will wait a bit (is the photo yours? ... or is it CMU's, for ex.?)...
More about the amazing 'rule of law' Magna Carta https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/magna-carta-muse-and-mentor/confirmation-by-kings-and-parliament.html
Looks like Edward I, 3 generations after the Magna Carta was written, confirmed it - ".... son, Edward I, repeated the exercise in 1297, this time confirming it as part of England's statute law. " (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_Carta)

Hi Edith, Ethridges, Gilberts, Harveys, Janie Kirkbride Brown MacLeod, All,
This wonderful marriage license picture for George Kirkbride and Jane Horn in Kirkbythore, England from 1868 - https://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/3/3d/Kirkbride-320.jpg - reappeared in this email thread, so I've added it to WikiTree (and also to Ancestry .com - https://www.ancestry.com/mediaui-viewer/tree/162331043/person/252115007350/media/1034d97d-3656-49a1-be84-deddc9c08cc2 - ) ... to become further familiar with how these genealogy platforms work ...
I've also created these two new WikiTree pages for -
George Kirkbride (1838 - 1918)
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kirkbride-320
(See, too, George Kirkbride in Ancestry .com - https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/162331043/person/252115007349/story )

(See, too, Jane Horn in Ancestry .com - https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/162331043/person/252115007350/story )
(accessible from Rachel Agnes (Kirkbride) Gilbert (1873 - 1958)

(See, too, my Granny Rachel Brown in Ancestry .com https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/162331043/person/252114297135/story )
Please check out what you have access to ... there's much to learn as we add things, and thus become historians in the process ... it's kinda fun, and regarding origin stories in a way :)
I was particularly moved by some documents uploaded by my first cousin Mark MacLeod that told personal stories of other grandparents in Ancestry. com ... and would love to learn of your memories, anecdotes, and also see related documents ... potentially in WikiTree because it's free, high quality, easy to use and not behind a paywall, for example, so somehow is quite open. I'd also love to be able to ask some questions of some of you ... and in this time of Covid-19 ... Skype or Google Meet video conferencing seems to make this possible in a new way?
Shall we explore some mini-family reunions :)?

It's quite a party in pictures ... And I'm guessing the amazing guitar player Duane Allman, from Florida and a hippy, was playing (since he died in October '71 ). A lot of freedom at these concerts!
I think the WUaS News, and Q&A, yesterday, Monday could lead to planning to code for all 7.8 billion people on planet, each a Wikidata Q-item #, as WUaS wiki teachers and learners re free people-to-people universal education, in all 200 countries and 7000 living languages, or Wikidata Pin #, and even UBI experiments to DISTRIBUTE a single cryptocurrency backed by most central banks, and mineable to alleviate poverty :).

I heard an inspiring Sunanda song the other day on the iHeartRadio App but am not finding similar yet but this Sunanda is interesting https://youtu.be/nt1znahlv_8 ...
Do you enjoy Sunanda's , and Indian playback (like Harharan's music too) music? What algorithms are selecting this music on the iHeartRadio App for a kind of bliss quality ... and even regarding a small part of Nick Seaver's anthropological research?

Dear Houcemeddine, Lydia, Markus and All,
Thank you for joining the WUaS Google Meet today just now, Houcemeddine, Prem and Nicolai!
Houcemeddine, I'm attaching the edX .xls file with its 2,500 courses, which World Univ & Sch is now partnering, and per your planning to develop WUaS's website further with an installation of WikiBase / Wikidata. Thank you!
I recently today went to a number of WUaS's Miraheze MediaWiki pages, and saw this new DIALOGUE BOX message:
"This wiki has been closed because there have been no edits or logs made within the last 60 days. This wiki is now eligible for being adopted. To adopt this wiki please go to Requests for adoption and make a request. If this wiki is not adopted within 6 months it may be deleted. Note: If you are a bureaucrat on this wiki you can go to Special:ManageWiki and uncheck the "closed" box to reopen it."
... here, for example - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation - _ but I have edited this a number of times within the past 2 months, and here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - but while I've visited these pages many times recently, and - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Engineering - I haven't edited them.
What is happening, and, Houcemeddine, could you possibly begin to adapt WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in new ways per what we just talked about for 1.25 hours in the Google Meet?
And how to plan for WUaS registering students in a WUaS Wikidata / Wikibase franchise, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similarly forked Wikidata Pin # (and for 7.8 billion people eventually for these - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html - and other reasons).
I haven't ever been able to log in as Admin to the WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki, and also can't make the changes this new DIALOGUE BOX suggests, which changes I might be able to make if I were able to log in.
Looking forward to further communication about this, and to getting the WUaS home page - worlduniversityandschool.org - going for matriculation / registration for free-to-students' CC-4 best STEAM OpenCourseWare-centric edX courses and Bachelor degrees beginning in January 2021. Thank you again for joining the Google Meet, Houcemeddine, especially.
Best regards, Scott

to abdelwaheb, Matthew, Larry, bcc: Marissa, bcc: cameron.kaubris, bcc: cmcgarity
Dear Matthew and Houcemeddine,
(Marissa, Carolina and Cameron in BCC),
Thank you for this edX catalog, Matthew - and about edX course length for matriculating WUaS students beginning in January 2021. I'm sharing it with Houcemeddine in Tunisia, who's a medical student, and a Wikidata engineer for medicine, and who is kindly taking on developing our World Univ & Sch website development further - worlduniversityandschool.org - and for matriculating WUaS students this January 2021. I'd like to introduce you to one another here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/houcemeddine-turki-80305834/ - https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewgusching/ - scottmacleod.com - and Larry Viehland - https://chatham.edu/academics/undergraduate/chemistry/faculty/larry-viehland.html. WUaS is very glad to be partnering with you / edX.
And thanks, Matthew, for the information re credit verification - "For credit verification, courses labeled MicroBachelors in Column E are credit barring ... " that MicroBachelors in Column E are NOT ACCESSIBLE FOR CREDIT which WUaS will have to code for in our upcoming web site.
Matthew, in WUaS seeking to license and accredit with edX courses with CA's BPPE for licensing (https://twitter.com/CaBPPE), and WASC senior for accreditation (https://twitter.com/wascsenior) which also accredits Stanford and UC Berkeley and other University of Californias, WUaS is seeking to plan for both developing IDENTITY VERIFICATION of students, brainstorming-wise, in all ~200 countries, and in their official / main languages, and for PROCTORED EXAMS at edX (for licensing/ accreditation). In what ways could this edX course catalog help with the latter, in particular, and with Houcemeddine beginning to create a WUaS Wikidata / Wikibase installation to begin developing WUaS in Wikipedia's 300 languages and re edX's 15-20 languages for courses - for undergraduate students in January 2021?
Thinking in terms of WUaS Languages, it's possible that Carolina McGarity at edX, who speaks Spanish natively, will be able to help focus WUaS's development in Spanish language.
Our WUaS website is updated with info about how students can apply, and send transcripts etc - worlduniversityandschool.org - and I'm hopeful that Houcemeddine will be able to use it - and this edX course catalog - as a basis for improving our WUaS website, and in conjunction with Wikidata / Wikibase (re Wikipedia), and for students in all ~200 countries.
Thank you,
Scott

Looking forward to further communication about this, and to getting the WUaS home page - worlduniversityandschool.org - going for matriculation / registration for free-to-students' CC-4 best STEAM OpenCourseWare-centric edX courses and Bachelor degrees beginning in January 2021. Thank you again for joining the Google Meet, Houcemeddine, especially.

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>12:05 PM (10 hours ago)to abdelwaheb, Matthew, Larry, bcc: Marissa, bcc: cameron.kaubris, bcc: cmcgarityDear Matthew and Houcemeddine, (Marissa, Carolina and Cameron in BCC),Thank you for this edX catalog, Matthew - and about edX course length for matriculating WUaS students beginning in January 2021. I'm sharing it with Houcemeddine in Tunisia, who's a medical student, and a Wikidata engineer for medicine, and who is kindly taking on developing our World Univ & Sch website development further - worlduniversityandschool.org - and for matriculating WUaS students this January 2021. I'd like to introduce you to one another here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/houcemeddine-turki-80305834/ - https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewgusching/ - scottmacleod.com - and Larry Viehland - https://chatham.edu/academics/undergraduate/chemistry/faculty/larry-viehland.html . WUaS is very glad to be partnering with you / edX.
And thanks, Matthew, for the information re credit verification - "For credit verification, courses labeled MicroBachelors in Column E are credit barring ... " that MicroBachelors in Column E are NOT ACCESSIBLE FOR CREDIT which WUaS will have to code for in our upcoming web site.
Matthew, in WUaS seeking to license and accredit with edX courses with CA's BPPE for licensing (https://twitter.com/CaBPPE), and WASC senior for accreditation (https://twitter.com/wascsenior) which also accredits Stanford and UC Berkeley and other University of Californias, WUaS is seeking to plan for both developing IDENTITY VERIFICATION of students, brainstorming-wise, in all ~200 countries, and in their official / main languages, and for PROCTORED EXAMS at edX (for licensing/ accreditation). In what ways could this edX course catalog help with the latter, in particular, and with Houcemeddine beginning to create a WUaS Wikidata / Wikibase installation to begin developing WUaS in Wikipedia's 300 languages and re edX's 15-20 languages for courses - for undergraduate students in January 2021?
Thinking in terms of WUaS Languages, it's possible that Carolina McGarity at edX, who speaks Spanish natively, will be able to help focus WUaS's development in Spanish language.
Our WUaS website is updated with info about how students can apply, and send transcripts etc - worlduniversityandschool.org - and I'm hopeful that Houcemeddine will be able to use it - and this edX course catalog - as a basis for improving our WUaS website, and in conjunction with Wikidata / Wikibase (re Wikipedia), and for students in all ~200 countries.

Hi Pin,
How are you doing?This amazing - "Blind Faith" (1969) - popped up in Youtube after listening to an Allman Brothers' concert today with Duane Allman, from 1970 - Blind Faith - 2001 https://youtu.be/o_Y84j3bXCA - and it's longer and has more great music than just the vinyl did.
Good day today for WUaS, and we may have a new acting head of IT from Tunisia, and eventually in Arabic too (and with whom I talked with around 18-24 months ago in Skype; he's a medical student there), and helping to develop the updated WUaS website - worlduniversityandschool.org - newly with Wikidata Wikibase for matriculating students taking edX courses (with which WUaS is partnering:).

Hi Ma, Alden, Sandy, Cathy, Annie, All,I just wiki-added a few more ancestors in WikiTree genealogy software to make it possible to go from moi to Major General Benjamin Lincoln ( who is supposed to have accepted the sword of surrender from the British and fought also in a battle called Shay's Rebellion near the Springfield armory in MA in 1786-87) in my Chadbourne line -

Nice to be able to see these lines clearly and by clicking through them in WikiTree.
I remember my wonderful Granny Brown (Rachel Gilbert Brown, of Cincinnati, Ohio, Janie's mother), in particular, telling us about these ancestors and relationships - and with family historian Thomas Eschweiler - at the reunion at Alden and Marianne Briscoe's Chicago townhouse in around 1988 (or 1984), and am appreciating how their representations in WikiTree and on other genealogy platforms makes them easily understandable and accessible. :) As I recall our family still has the sword of surrender from the British which Benjamin Lincoln received, OR SIMILAR - i.e. it could be the sword of another Chadbourne, after whom Fort Chadbourne in Texas is named.

Now how to go from Sarah Bolles, perhaps in conversation with Ancestry .com - in WikiTree - all the way back to Edward I in a direct line, by clicking through?
(I found too that I need to learn my family history much better than I do now to be able to go from Sarah Bolles Chadbourne to moi in WikiTree). Genetic questions re Ancestry .com and WikiTree genetics back to 1237 AD to follow.
(Re other Chadbourne line ancestors known in history, this Sarah Bolles' line doesn't include directly Major General Benjamin Lincoln - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lincoln-78 - No. 2 to George Washington in American revolution [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Lincoln - https://www.historyisfun.org/learn/learning-center/benjamin-lincoln/ ] - who is supposed to have accepted the sword of surrender from the British after a battle of Shay's Rebellion in 1786-87 - Thoughts off the top of your head how to easily go from Sarah Bolles to Edward 1st in in WikiTree?

Please let me know, and also what you're learning genealogically these days!

Sarah Bolles (b.

Ahlquist, Earle N. The Paul Chadbourn family of Waterborough, Maine, 1748-1990. (Peru, Illinois: Chadbourne Family Association, 1984, 1990).
Lieutenant HUMPHREY3 CHADBOURNE (3. Humphrey2 William1), born Kittery circa 1653; died Berwick 1694 (BVR, 205); married before Sep 1678 when their first child was born SARAH BOLLES, born Wells 20 or 26 (Early Marriages of Strafford Co NH) Jan 1657, died probably Berwick after 10 Nov 1707 (letter of son Humphrey, below) and before Dec 1708 (when Benjamin Nason married third), daughter of Joseph and Mary (Howell) Bolles. The widow Sarah (Bolles) Chadbourne married second (as widow of Williamêapparently a transciption error, Early Marriages of Strafford Co NH) after May 1700, when Benjamin's last child with his first wife was born (KVR, 12) Benjamin Nason of Berwick, who died 1714. Benjamin had married first (by Rev John Pike) 30 June 1689 Martha Canney, b 5 Feb 1669, d before 1708, daughter of Thomas; and married third Portsmouth NH 27 Dec 1708 (NEHGR 5:40; LND, 504) Elizabeth (Martyn) (Kennard) Furber. (See Joseph Anderson, "Mary Nason, Wife of William Chadbourne of Berwick, Maine", TAG, Apr 1993.)
In Jan 1690/1 Sarah witnessed the will of her brother-in-law Charles Frost (MW, 118). A land record has been found in which Benjamin and Sarah, his wife, conveyed property in Berwick (YD 7:50). Both were signed with her distinctive, large "S".
In the collections of the Maine Historical Society, a letter from Humphrey4 Chadbourne to his cousin Joseph Bolles survives to reveal the second marriage of the widow Sarah (Bolles) Chadbourne:

Magnolia: So nice to get your email, and am appreciating your skepticism about genetically engineered aging reversal, and as an immunologist, geneticist, and cell biologist (would you say? Or molecular biologist?) who has made your career in the pharmaceut
Ma,
Light came on outside about 5:15 this morning on the house next door across from garden patio as I got up to go to bathroom - and since it's motion-triggered, I wondered what it was. Then I saw in the light a big old raccoons with its kind of hunched shoulders loping across the patio - big enough to trigger the motion sensor.As I looked at my smartphone, I noticed an email from my friend, Marc Dupuis, in French-speaking Switzerland, - so nice to hear from him, and in reply to the email I sent you and he and Dorota and Ed the day before!
Here are our emails which you might enjoy:
Hello Scott,So nice to hear from you. I still have vivid memories of that day you enacted MacBeth...all the world is a stage and men and women merely the players...
What happened to your house in the woods? Did the fire finally chase you out?Here Tanja and I have also moved from the hills to a nice place in the vineyards of Lutry.
Here we are living through this stage time of covid, where human relationships seem to stiffen and loose physical warmth. A vaccine may be in sight, as the for the anti-aging pill I wouldn’t bet my life on it.
This morning we are going to the market to get some fresh groceries... food and oxygen are the only true medication that seem to have some hold against the siege of time.Warm regards Marc
Hi Marc,
So nice to get your email as well.Lutry and its Lavaux UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE sound lovely - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutry. Sounds nice too to be living with family (and re heirs as nephews/nieces too) in a vineyard area!
Lutry is old and re Christianity esp -
"Lutry is first mentioned in 908 as in Lustraco villam. In 1124 it was mentioned as monasterium Sancti Martini cum villa quae dicitur Lustriacus and in 1147 it was Lustriey.[3]"
Here's our MacBeth Act 5 Sc 5 video in not playable in Chrome browser .rm real media file -http://scottmacleod.com/scottmacleod.com/Main.html
from the - Love & links' - page - http://scottmacleod.com/links.htm
And the poetry (Wow!) http://shakespeare.mit.edu/macbeth/macbeth.5.5.html
Appreciating your wisdom, and profound skepticism about genetically engineered aging reversal, and as an immunologist, geneticist, and cell biologist (would you say? Or molecular biologist?) who has made your career in the pharmaceutical industry (https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Marc-Dupuis-65160798). Am appreciating too (Lacanian) realism, yet who would have thought people would land on the moon in '69 (and I think we both may have seen this on TV).
THESE 3 Harvard / MIT Prof George Church videos as a start at least get me thinking about the potential for reversing aging -
https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk
https://youtu.be/ODQIoJMjd5c (mentions 2-10% increase on lifespan in nonhuman organisms)
https://youtu.be/yefzqDpJ5Oc
- and if such a drug were FDA approved in 25 years, I might consider taking it. Covid-19 may be the catalyst which focuses geneticists in every University - a mass mobilization - in most of 200 countries in the world to advance our knowledge rapidly in these regards.

Is Covid-19 also an (1960's) agent of social change and potentially making the world a better place (Voltaire's Pangloss-wise possibly too)? (... my interpretation from yesterday:) Is it doing so in ways that no individuals or activists (eg Dr. MLK jr) in the 60s or 70s, envisioning a better world via social change, could?
Am missing too the warmth of human relations, and finding myself a bit too isolated these coronavirus pandemic days (but also wonder whether this could be due to my response to the metaphorical CA 'fires' and bad behaviors and mental illness in CA) ... but I'm also seeking a partner to begin a family and ... connecting with someone else would change my experiences of CA in covid-19 TIMES, and before, I think.
Could Covid-19 be 'cleaning up' illegal 'Mafia' type behavior in many countries around the world - and in Canyon 94516 too? Was my calling the Moraga police to report 3 illegal break-ins, entries, as well as thefts over the years, an entree for federal authorities to get involved? (I'm a whistle blower with a conscience in recent years, Marc). Canyon and CA may have old 'fire cultures,' but the Mafia no longer seem to be a concern in the US, IN Italy, or on the international stage :)
Got the Green light yesterday by getting a physical mailing address in Sacramento on the phone for sending in the first 3 WUaS Corp tax returns :)
How to create warm human relations and community in this world filled with plague fears, these days? My hypothesis (pour moi in CA) - pairbond, socialize (troop Bond?), and begin to create a great family, abide in a great place (like Lutry), use language, and navigate 'foredoomance' :)) ... Ideas related to John Money's Concepts of Determinism http://scottmacleod.com/JohnMoneyConceptsOfDeterminism.html (and see too for succinctness - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2010/05/sweet-birch-questions-of-determinism-on.html?m=0). :)

Hi Ma, Ed, Dorota, Marc,
Again, greetings from my new (temp.? safe house?) domicile just north of Berkeley with magnificent views of Golden Gate Bridge - and the Sutro Tower in SF THIS morning under which I lived from 1994-2001 or so, in a little garden cottage on Market St (3632).
Marc, Dorota and I also enacted MacBeth Act 5 Scene 5 (with bagpipes around 1999) which is at the very bottom here -
http://scottmacleod.com/papers.htm -
but for which some digital archaeology may be in order (from outdated Dazzle and related file formats:).
A different photo of just the SF Bay sans moi (no Hair is getting longer and re my new Google Pixel 3a smartphone seems to have broadened face here), but the morning was pretty first thing.
How are you doing? How are the coronavirus pandemic genes
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/genes?m=0 -
playing out in your part of the world (in this media frenzy of covid-19 memes (replicating cultural units) right out of the '60s (as a social change agent) that seem to be changing the world, since, who knows, but perhaps an aging reversal drug will emerge from all this thanks to the newly focused genetic researchers - see /Longevity label in blog too, and re George Church) - or in your world especially ?
Warm regards, Scott

Nice to hike yesterday, Ed!
Called the CA Franchise Tax Board, and got the physical address in Sacramento to send in the 3 years of WUaS Corp tax returns, so WUaS has the green light in proceeding! Wow (and thanks for printing the tax forms).

Thank you both for this masterful conversation - https://www.hoover.org/events/democracy-and-authoritarianism - just now. Brainstorming-wise, Liz, you mentioned early on Chinese grass roots projects to alleviate poverty. In what ways could the distributed-ness grass roots' aspect of information technologies help? How to explore a strategy with China (not at their cost) with UBI experiments to DISTRIBUTE a single cryptocurrency backed by their central bank (and possibly with online education for leaders from Sudan, for example, in their languages, and other MIT OCW-centric free degrees in many Chinese languages), each Chinese person a Wikidata Q item # (https://twitter.com/hashtag/WikidataQitem?src=hashtag_click) in Wikipedia's ~300 languages, and out of a Chinese-informed IT ecosystem re its authoritarianism and again its central bank (re Stanford's Hong Bin Li - https://siepr.stanford.edu/scholars/hongbin-li - https://twitter.com/IIEPGW/status/916363102991548416?s=20) ?

Hoover Institution
The Hoover Institution presents an online virtual speaker series based on the scholarly research and commentary written by Hoover fellows participating in the Human Prosperity Project on Socialism and Free-Market Capitalism. This project objectively investigates the historical record to assess the consequences for human welfare, individual liberty, and interactions between nations of various economic systems ranging from pure socialism to free-market capitalism. Each session will include thoughtful and informed analysis from our top scholars.

Dear Liz,Thank you, Liz, for https://www.hoover.org/events/elizabeth-economy-covid-19-and-china ! What’s the ‘global stage’ for Xi Jinping? In what ways does it include versions of all ~200 countries (per recent Olympics) as nation states - and regarding the internet especially? How could Xi Jinping advance China’s grandeur better regarding both ~200 countries and re the internet?

Dear Liz,
Thanks for your great Stanford conversation yesterday with Larry Diamond - https://www.hoover.org/events/democracy-and-authoritarianism - about which I emailed you yesterday. I'm following up here on an email after your Stanford talk last year.
In re-visiting your talk from last year too - Elizabeth Economy: COVID-19 and China | Hoover Virtual Policy Briefing - https://youtu.be/xW8rNpe_c3M - https://www.hoover.org/research/elizabeth-economy-covid-19-and-china - I'm curious about your thoughts about an e-economy, and particularly about China e-culturally too (which are interests of my own)? (I teach a course on the Society and Information Technology, which is Castellian, as in Manuel Castells' "Rise of the Network Society" in orientation - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html).
And since you're on the Board of Swarthmore College, and are an alumna too - https://www.swarthmore.edu/board-managers/elizabeth-economy-84 -
https://bulletin.swarthmore.edu/fall-2014-issue-1/board-welcomes-5-managers -are you active with Quakers in other ways (https://www.nytimes.com/1994/08/21/style/weddings-elizabeth-economy-and-david-wah.html)? And do you happen to know MIT Anthropology Professor, and Haverford, and Stanford alum Heather Paxson, too? (Am a Quaker, but active with nontheist Friends these days online).
While you were at Stanford, did you by any chance visit Harbin Hot Springs? It's my actual-virtual ethnographic field site, with more about it in my blog - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20Harbin.
Would love to communicate further about my email yesterday, as well as

FDA Grand Rounds: November 12, 2020
Drs. Hariharan, and All,
Thank you for this interesting presentation. What role do you see a realistic virtual earth for STEM - in something like Google Street View with avatar bots - with realistic face simulations (am thinking Samsung Neons aka artificial humans, conceptually) and realistic masks, at the cell and atomic levels playing in subsequent research (https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click)? Thanks, Scott MacLeod (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)

About the Presentation:
This presentation provides an overview of the FDA’s research to evaluate the ability of facial coverings to reduce the spread of infection and how the FDA is developing a comprehensive risk-assessment tool to predict the probability of infection with individuals wearing a non-surgical face mask or cloth face covering; given the characteristics of non-surgical face masks, the population, and the pathogen. This presentation discusses how the filtration and leakage performance of cloth face coverings, using both experimental and computational methods, input into a risk assessment model that the FDA recently developed and is currently calibrating for COVID-19.
