Telomere: Stanford-Duke Cardiology Symposium 



*

Dear Helen,

Thank you for your excellent and far-reaching Stanford-Duke Cardiovascular Research Symposium talk "The Long and the Short of it: Telomere Length as a Hallmark of Cardiac Failure" yesterday - http://med.stanford.edu/cvi/mission/upcoming-events/stanford-duke-cv-research-symposium-2018.html (http://med.stanford.edu/content/dam/sm/cvi/documents/pdf/stanford-duke-program-2018.pdf).

Here's MIT Media Lab Director Joi Ito and per Harvard's George Church and gene editing - https://web.archive.org/web/20180605002848/https://www.wired.com/story/the-responsibility-of-immortality/ - and re longevity (and the wiki subject for this at MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Longevity - of which I'm the startup founder), - re the longevity article mentioning telomeres which I mentioned. With regard to "Eternal youth, eternal old age, or having our cryogenically frozen brains thawed out 2,000 years," George Church is doing gene editing research now with dogs, having moved on from mice, as well as mentioning 9 main scientific approaches to longevity:

"He is currently experimenting with age reversal in dogs using gene therapy that has been successful in mice, a technique he believes is the most promising of nine broad approaches to mortality and aging—genome stability, telomere extension, epigenetics, proteostasis, caloric restriction, mitochondrial research, cell senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and intercellular communication"
(https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/08/cardoon-freeuniversaleducation-at-wuas.html).

The prospect of many people living beyond the 122 years of the longest known living person (Jeanne Calment) is fascinating in terms of especially emergent social problems per Joi Ito's article, "The Responsibility of Immortality: Welcome to the New Transhumanism" - https://web.archive.org/web/20180605002848/https://www.wired.com/story/the-responsibility-of-immortality/. I wonder if a realistic virtual earth with avatars bots for planning purposes could help (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/08/auk-what-is-arcore-by-google-you-can.html), and am thinking here Google Street View with TIME Slider / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow - at the cellular and atomic levels with all species and even all individual organisms, conceptually - for STEM research, clinical care, and as medical school / research classrooms.

I'm curious especially how your approaches to studying telomeres, and the 8 other ways to study longevity mentioned in this article will all emerge in such a SINGLE realistic virtual earth for STEM research, and even in collaboration with something like Project Baseline.

What do you think? And what please is the name of the researcher you mentioned?

Very nice to talk with you and thank you for your excellent and exciting presentation.

Best regards, Scott

Dear Svati, Rob, and Bob,

Project Baseline: Return of Results - Seek and Ye Shall Find
Svati Shah, MD, MHS
Vice-Chair of Translational Research
Associate Professor of Medicine
Duke University

Rob Califf MD - Duke
https://medicine.duke.edu/faculty/robert-m-califf

Bob Harrington MD - Stanford
https://profiles.stanford.edu/robert-harrington




Thank you, Svati, for your excellent and far-reaching Stanford-Duke Cardiovascular Research Symposium talk, "Project Baseline: Return of Results - Seek and Ye Shall Find" yesterday - http://med.stanford.edu/cvi/mission/upcoming-events/stanford-duke-cv-research-symposium-2018.html (http://med.stanford.edu/content/dam/sm/cvi/documents/pdf/stanford-duke-program-2018.pdf).

In talking with Svati after her great presentation about Project Baseline and communicating results, she encouraged me to email you, Rob, as co-founder of Project Baseline (and re our communication after your UCSF talk in April 2018 here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/04/lady-slipper-orchid-uscf-duke-univs-rob.html - too). 

What I was mentioning and curious about, Svati, has to do with exploring how 
A
i) Project Baseline might develop into online hospitals for clinical care in ~10 years (possibly longer or less time).

ii) How Baseline might develop into a comprehensive STEM Medical research site as well, and as a SINGLE realistic virtual earth (part of the Google platform/ecosystem - I'm thinking here Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / Brain / TensorFlow - and at the cellular and atomic levels+) - for everything actually.

iii) And how Baseline might also develop into avatar bots eventually for actual-virtual, physical-digital direct correspondence, and for even tele-robotic surgery - and potentially for all species and all organisms, a ginormous data vision and project. This would include potentially eventually even the possibility of virtual gene editing (CRISPR into Baseline/StreetView?) and genomics, so that per Rob's recent Tweet that "Genetically Modified People Are Walking Among Us" - https://twitter.com/califf001/status/1069041413461962752 - this gene editing and these people could "walk" VIRTUALLY / DIGITALLY too (am thinking Second Life / OpenSimulator avatars here, but realistic ones, not cartoon-esque). (See too this blog post with an email to Dr. Helen Blau and her work on Telomeres from Friday, and re longevity questions - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/telomere-thanks-helenblau-for-your.html - and where I hope to post some of this email as well).

Communication here would include completely new forms of publishing, including participant communications, as well as patient records, from within such a Project Baseline realistic virtual earth as hospital. 


B
I also mentioned, as a heads' up, Svati, the possibility of  

i) Project ECHO (MD specialists to rural populations with a mentoring aspect in group video) becoming online medical schools in ~10 years (more or less)

ii) with NEJM Continuing Education Modules (CME) as a basis for the first 2 years of online course ware - and subsequently translated into ~200 countries' official / main languages, for online Medical Schools


C)
In developing MIT OCW-centric World University and School (of which I'm the startup founder), WUaS seeks to develop online Medical Schools with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care. And in WUaS's new wiki, and in developing "World University and School: Online Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals in ~200 countries’ official languages," and re - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - WUaS seeks to generate, conceptually, Medical Schools in each of all ~200 countries' official / main languages from a Template like this - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages and CC Yale OYC course ware, but MIT and Yale don't have any Medicine OpenCourseWare for online medicine degrees (newly defined potentially). Linked to each of these medical schools would be an online teaching hospital, e.g. - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hospital - for clinical care. As I've mentioned to Bob in our meeting in the autumn of 2017 in his office, Stanford Medicine in creating Medicine OCW could ask reimbursement from nation states' ministries of health, based on GDP, of something like and some percentage of the $63,080 per student per year that it costs to attend Dartmouth this year - https://geiselmed.dartmouth.edu/admissions/costs-and-financial-aid/ - for CC-4 Stanford Medicine OpenCourseWare in all ~200 countries' official / main languages where applicable. (Starting with Canada and California/North Carolina, for example, could have merit, since these are probably prosperous states).

D)
And here's an example of how this might work in Zimbabwe in Africa with a specific disease in this blog post:

Claytonia virginica: online Zimbabwe Medical School with online Teaching Hospital for Clinical Care, Stanford Africa Table "Human Papillomavirus Screening in Rural Zimbabwe," April 25 2018, Thanks too for replying, in response to my question, that Zimbabweans are hungry for medical education, Google/Verily's and Stanford and Duke's Project Baseline and eventually into a map for health for Zimbabweans, Concerning the realistic virtual earth for STEM research, I mentioned - think Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / Translate / TensorFlow / Brain - and at the cellular and atomic levels too, possibly emerging out of Google's Project Baseline itself - online hospitals might emerge uniquely in this in the future, and even with avatar bots (that correspond to the 10,000 real participants in Project Baseline) for clinical care, research, bioengineering, genetic therapies, and eventually even actual-virtual remote tele-robotic surgery



E)
And such a Project Baseline hospital in a realistic virtual earth could even be developed for clinical trials - with speakers of all 7,097 living languages - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/07/cypripedium-lady-slippers-orchid.html.
F) 
You'll find further, mostly Stanford, talks about Project Baseline and Project ECHO in this compendium blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/02/lithops-collaboration-between-stanford.html - as well. 

Very nice to talk with you Svati (and Bob), and looking forward to further communication about this re this remarkable Duke-Stanford collaboration and with great regard to Project Baseline. 

All the best, 
Scott

Dear John, Helen and Bob,

Thanks so so much, Helen. And nice to meet you here, John. It would be great to talk further about questions relating to Telomere extension, longevity and potentially in a realistic virtual earth with species and individuals, John - and re "Telomere extension turns back aging clock in cultured human cells, study finds" - https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2015/01/telomere-extension-turns-back-aging-clock-in-cultured-cells.html - for example. Have blogged a little about your presentation, Helen, and the Stanford-Duke Cardiology Symposium here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/telomere-thanks-helenblau-for-your.html - as well.

Would be available to meet for a cup of coffee around Stanford, John?

Warm regards, Scott

HI Paulo, 

Very nice to talk with you this evening. 

I just noticed that you're affiliated with the Graduate School of Education at Stanford - 
https://lemanncenter.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/PauloAdeodato_Resume_2017_03_28_v05_LemannCenter.pdf. World Univ & Sch seems to be getting a coding team from there, which is momentous.

Here, by the way, are the (again) beginning Brazil World University and School -  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Brazil - not yet in Portuguese - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Portuguese_language - and Brazil Law School at WUaS https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Brazil_Law_School_at_WUaS. Check out the initial MIT OpenCourseWare here. What do you think? What resources would you add? I'll keep you posted as they emerge in Portuguese (e.g. their subsections, thanks to Wikipedia/Wikidata/Wikibase).

Bon voyage, and looking forward to staying in touch. 

Warm regards, Scott

Hi Paulo,

Here's the Stanford-Duke Medicine talk I mentioned - http://med.stanford.edu/cvi/mission/upcoming-events/stanford-duke-cv-research-symposium-2018.html - and from Stanford Medicine Chair's Bob Harrington MD's Twitter feed - https://twitter.com/HeartBobH/status/1067450979535118337 - and the first afternoon, tomorrow, focuses on Google's Project Baseline. It might be interesting to you from CS and language (Portuguese) and country (Brazil) perspectives. I've registered for both days, but one can register just for one day. 

It would be great to stay in touch re World University and School's planned online medical schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with online  teaching hospitals - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - in Portuguese and in Brazil, - and especially with Google's Projects Baseline as well as Project ECHO.

Damson: Blockchain ledger open course ware from 'Legal Hackers"? And re an Universal Basic Income for all 7.5 billion people?, Stanford Law's Tony Lai - "Re the currency Q you ask, I see this tied to public policy on privacy / self sovereign identity and data justice/governance in the big picture and the underlying synecdoche of money as a bundle of naming rights," Stanford-Duke Medicine symposium 11/29-30 & re World University and School's planned online medical schools with online teaching hospitals & especially with Google's Projects Baseline as well as Project ECHO


Thanks - very grateful, Tony. 

Greetings Jameson. Looking to developing a lot of course ware, and eventually online law faculty positions, in all ~200 countries' official / main languages.

It would be interesting to bring you, Tony, and MIT Digital Currency Initiative Director Neha Narula into conversation. 

Here's a fascinating interview with Neha Narula, director of the MIT Digital Currency Initiative - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/09/sequoia-sempervirens-cones-stanford-law.html - and who may be involved in thinking through a single cryptocurrency (with blockchain ledger) backed by ~200 central banks.

As World University and School begins to code our wiki for matriculated students in all ~200 countries' official languages, and for wiki-learners and teachers in all 7,097 living languages, WUaS would like to explore further coding for an Universal Basic Income for all 8 billion people on earth (taxable so nation states would benefit with new revenue streams - potentially with the block chain too), and as a way to distribute a single cryptocurrency backed by most of ~200 nation states' banks (post Euro in ~19 out of 28 nation states, and backed by these central banks). WUaS would like to do this too as an assistive technology, defining assistive technologies anew - and potentially working with Intuit TurboTax re their approach to assistive technologies (and Ted Drake at Intuit). Fortunately, the Euro has a ~20 history as a regional currency which lessons' learned could positively benefit the development a single cryptocurrency backed by 200 countries' banks - since this would be an enormous change in the world's finances. Hopefully World Univ & Sch's planned Law Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School (see below too) - and WUaS's planned Computer Science Departments - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Computer_Science (emerging from CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/) in each of all ~200 countries' online will be able to help facilitate such a ginormous undertaking - and potentially emerging from Stanford as well (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/northern-spotted-owl-comparing-stem.html).

The issues you raise in your email note, Tony - "public policy on privacy / self sovereign identity and data justice/governance in the big picture and the underlying synecdoche of money as a bundle of naming rights" - would all play out, conceptually, in ~200 countries, and for 7.5 billion end users/learners/teachers - You at WUaS (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University) - at World University and School, and either on 7.5 billion individuals' smart phones/mobile phones (and much of the developing world has mobile phones), or on bank cards with chips, for example ... and, also, for ex, the largest refugee camps in the world, with about 300,000 people in them, mostly in eastern Africa, already have systems of currencies on bank cards or similar, as I understand this, so there is some precedent. 

Jameson, how might we best develop law open course ware, or similar, in all ~200 countries' official languages, for online law schools? 

Best regards,
Scott

Scott, hope you don't mind, re free law school, I'm looping in my new CodeX colleague, Jameson Dempsey, global orchestrator for the Legalhackers movement. Jameson - please see thread below, Scott and team have an interesting platform that could be great to work with re free law school globally.

Re the currency Q you ask, I see this tied to public policy on privacy / self sovereign identity and data justice/governance in the big picture and the underlying synecdoche of money as a bundle of naming rights.

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School (and in the beginning planned online law schools below, planned in all ~200 countries' official languages).

Hope to begin a 'Blockchain ledger' wiki subject at WUaS soon too, but in the meantime people can wiki-add blockchain resources here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Lawand https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Banking_and_Money (accessible from -  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects), - each subject planned in each of all ~200 countries' official and main languages.

Not too many blockchain ledger or related courses at MIT OCW (https://ocw.mit.edu/search/ocwsearch.htm?q=blockchain), or at WUaS (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/w/index.php?search=blockchain&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go), so looking forward to developing such curriculum out of Stanford Law CodeX and Stanford Law re World Univ & Sch. 

Tony, where do you see the blockchain ledger and law playing a role with the development of a single cryptocurrency in all ~200 countries, and backed by all ~200 countries' central banks - and re MIT Digital Currency Initiative's Executive Director, Neha Narula - https://twitter.com/neha - if at all? Have blogged some about this - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/07/himalayan-brown-bear-world-univ-sch.html - as well, and with regard to Stanford too and developing approaches to alleviate poverty in Africa, for example, but all around the world (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Poverty_Action). World University and School is seeking to plan for all 7.5 billion end users as we develop our 'main You at WUaS' (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University) for learners in all 7,097 living languages, and this could dovetail with the development of a single cryptocurrency in all ~200 countries.

Jonathan, talk with you soon about this.

Thank you, Tony.

Scott

Hi Jonathan (and All), 

Have had some success with Google Sites in beginning to revamp World University and School's landing page - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool - as a starting point. Google Sites said that, upon publishing, I should be able to go www.worlduniversityandschool.org and get to this new site, but this hasn't worked yet however, . 

Thank you for the generative conversation, Jonathan, which is leading to these new much needed WUaS web site developments!

As a heads' up, WUaS (which I think it's valuable for all of you to know) is comprised of two wings, an 
A) World Univ & Sch, a non-profit 501 (c) 3, as of 2011, and  
B) the WUaS Press / Corp, a for-profit general stock company, incorporating as a forked parallel second legal entity in  2017,  - both planned in all ~200 countries and in all 7097 living languages with machine learning and machine translation. Here again are the planned revenue streams for both wings - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html .

It was in and after a Stanford Law CodeX presentation that WUaS was able to incorporate legally as a for-profit general stock company in California - (and the named CEO currently is Julian Dumitrascu in Romania) - with an AI chat bot, thanks to presenter, lawyer Tom Martin. As WUaS begins to develop both wings, WUaS would like to plan too for the blockchain ledger. And the Stanford Law school has a new academic blockchain journal. Jonathan, and All, do you happen to know Stanford Law CodeX Tony Lai (same last name as yours Jonathan!) - am introducing you here in this email - originally from Hong Kong and Oxford, I think. He's spearheading in part Blockchain endeavors at Stanford Law, and it might be good to talk all together with him about how to begin to build in the blockchain ledger re both of WUaS's wings - i.e. for textbook sales to matriculating WUaS students, if appropriate.
Within Google Sites, I'd like to begin to develop with this 4 column approach - https://www.harvard.edu/ - especially for WUaS's ~12 main areas: 


1 Languages (in all ~8,000+ - each a Uni or Sch with WUaS Universal Translator: https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator)

2 Countries/Nation States with map (in all ~200+ countries, each a Uni or Sch in official/main languages)

3 You at WUaS & Admissions/Registering at WUaS for free, accrediting, best STEM-centric CC OCW, online Bach., Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. degrees

4 Subjects (using SUBJECT TEMPLATE to create new subjects)

5 Courses & Schools

6 Music School at WUaS (planned for all instruments, and for all languages as wiki) 

7 Library Resources (all museums in all languages in a realistic virtual earth - think Google Streetview with time slider)

8 Museums (all museums in all languages in a realistic virtual earth - think Google Streetview with time slider)

9Hardware Resource Possibilities

10 Educational Software

11 Foundation at WUaS

12 Research (best STEM CC OpenCourseWare-centric - in ~200 countries official languages, and in all 7097 living languages as wiki schools).

How best to begin the "backend" planning for applying / registering / matriculating students in all ~200 countries' official languages - and first with accreditation and via the state of California's Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education ... ie course catalog connected with matriculated students ... and all of this while tooling for machine learning. 

Thank you !
Scott
