Susanna,

Thanks so much for your email and answering my questions. I liked the "The Living Soil: How Unseen Microbes Affect the Food We Eat (360 Video)" video -

- you made a lot, and your developing such for education (https://about.me/susannalharris - https://www.instagram.com/susannalharris/ - https://twitter.com/SusannaLHarris) is a great way to focus related projects virtually too.

Am seeking for this - https://g.page/world-university-and-school?share - to turn into a virtual world campus for WUaS eventually too - and a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (glad Harbin added more photos recently from the Harbin Mainside area 3.5 years after the Valley fire) ~ for actual-virtual STEM ethnographic research and visiting, and with avatar bots - and at the cellular and atomic levels (for brain research on enjoyment, for ex.), besides at the Street View level.

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/08/linnea-visit-virtual-harbin-hot-springs.html - and see the evolutionary biology blog label too, for ex.).

Am seeking for World University and School to integrate all of the above into a single realistic virtual earth and for all species and evolutionary biological history too (thinking Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth). (All of this emerges from my actual-virtual, physical-digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic research and project ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook).

Was hoping I'd find something in the Google Search algorithms that might translate - as an application, for example - your video into Google Poly (library of virtual objects) for ongoing soil science research questions now in the cloud, but not yet. Will keep your education focus in mind as I continue to explore related questions. Thanks.

Best, Scott

Hi Scott!

So far, all that we have done with 3D stuff has been this science outreach video with a local planetarium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dhdUoK7s2s

Otherwise, I'm not sure if there are many ongoing projects. Beth is moving the lab in the spring, so several things have been pushed to the back-burner.

Best,
S

Hi Susanna, Where are you & Dr. Elizabeth Shank's Lab heading with plant microbiomes & "Mastering molecules in virtual reality" - eg https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05574-3 ? MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch seeks to create a realistic virtual earth (in Google Street View with time slider / Earth) for STEM for this & everything. Best Scott

Dear Konrad, Nathalia, Keith, Reed, Govind and Larry (both Govind and Larry are on the Board of World Univ & Sch), 

Am re-sending this email to you from 21 August 2019: 


Hi Konrad, Keith and Govind, 


Looking forward to the Forum for Advancing Reed - https://www.reed.edu/advancing-reed/ - in September. 

And great to share a table with you at Reed Reunions this past June, Keith and Govind. Konrad and Govind, I'd like to introduce you to one another: Govind is on the World University and School Board, if you don't know each other. And Konrad (https://iris.reed.edu/directory/alum/111574) is a Trustee at Reed, on the left in the picture below. Govind (https://iris.reed.edu/directory/alum/124722), will you be there at Reed's FAR? Keith?  

Re FAR, I'm exploring in writing here how World University and School might be of benefit to Reed - and potentially re careers for Remedies.

First, World University and School would like to explore offering a required - and inspired - Hum 110 course online which we might call Hum 101, and also for developing the conference method online (in group video to begin) at World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - and eventually in 200 countries' official languages. So WUaS would seek to hire, for example, Reedies who have gone on to graduate school to be graduate student instructors to teach Hum 101 online as WUaS develops.  



Second, WUaS would like to offer graduate school opportunities to Reedies - and for online Ph.D. degrees, as well as online MD and Law degrees, and eventually in ~200 nation states' languages, online. WUaS is in the process of licensing for Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees with the state of CA's BPPE presently. 

Third, WUaS would like to hire faculty and staff eventually from among Reedies. 


Fourth, WUaS also in 2017 became a second parallel legal entity - the WUaS Corporation - which is a for-profit general stock company. And WUaS would like to explore collaborating with FAR in developing this both online and on-the-ground with time. Reed could advance far with this wing, especially - and re collaboration! 



Fifth, coding opportunities at World University and School are enormous for Reedies! (WUaS is quite Google-centric, as well as Wikidata-centric). 

Have just added some of this to Reed's IRIS in my networking fields too re:


Reed Networking in IRIS alumni directory ...

  • Expanded description of your work
  • Please describe how you would like to help Reed students and alumni.
  • Areas of interest (Based on the Center for Life Beyond Reed’s Communities of Purpose)
  • Areas of research
  • Professional associations
  • Certifications and specialized training
  • Conferences attending/ attended



Keith (https://iris.reed.edu/directory/alum/111534), let's talk further about the development of a realistic virtual earth for bioinformatics with time (am thinking Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth ... with CRISPR and Tensorflow +). 

WUaS is currently seeking funding to begin licensing with the state of California, as you can see in the WUaS Monthly Business Meeting Minutes from 8/17/19:

In addition to World Univ & Sch seeking the initial ~$5,000 to begin licensing with the state of California's Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE), WUaS is sekeing concurrently the initial ~ $12,000 + monies to begin the accreditation process, and then initial monies to begin to hire student interns such as Reedies, to develop WUaS, as well as financial commitments of monies for licensing, accreditation and hiring in 2020 and beyond.

So, am curious about ways to advance Reed by collaboration with World Univ & Sch. There's remarkable FAR growth potential here esp.



See some of you in person on the weekend of 14 September, and possibly some of you online too then! :)

All the best, Scott
