Cashew (Anacardium occidentale): Avatar Bot Medical Records in Wikidata in Tunisia re UBI TOO -:strategy, brainstorming, medicine and Google stake in Wikidata/Wikibase re 7.5 billion people as Wikidata Q-item #s'

Thanks, Houcemeddine (Monsieur or سيد او سيدي) & Sebastian, Peter, Denny, Wikdiatans and All again,

This email is a strategy, brainstorming, medicine and Google stake in Wikidata/Wikibase re 7.5 billion people as Wikidata Q-item #s' email, in response to some of your recent emails.

Brainstorming-wise, and taking a medical charting by MDs with Wikidata for psychiatry approach, and for 7.5 billion people on planet for psychiatry too - AND with planning for voice, and per wiki World Univ & Sch's recent laying "claim to create 7.5 Billion Wikidata Q's" email, how would this work with avatar bot electronic medical records?

Conceptually, here are some Avatar bots images re medicine - 'topbot' ...


- https://web.archive.org/web/20170831212017/https://www.topbots.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ai_healthcare_challenges_800x350.jpg (with this image and one more heart in avatar bot image from MIT here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/oregon-coast-wuas-avatarbotelectronicme.html). This first image contains a whole human avatar bot, a world map plus many other components of possible avatar bot electronic medical records - scaled large. (And brainstorming-wise, I'm also thinking in terms of Kaiser Permanente Health Maintenance Organization / health care provider with 1000s of MDs in the US in many US states as standards for charting for psychiatry in digital age as precedent in these regards).

So, for example, take epilepsy as a psychiatric condition, how would a psychiatrist MD medically chart epilepsy findings one medical appointment after another for a single patient over time? So, for example, here's an image of the 'frontal lobe epilepsy' -

https://web.archive.org/web/20181105175551/http://epilepsyu.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/frontal-lobe.png. And say this is an image of a patient's brain at the cellular (or the atomic) level. Potentially this image could be added to the above 'topbot' avatar bot (with its Wikidata Q-item number) with a date and in relation to that epileptic patient's other brain imaging thus far over time, and in video too - and potentially many MDs over time could add this to this patient's avatar bot electronic medical record as well. Wikidata could play a significant role in this scenario, by helping structure the data for labeling and retrieving data about what kind of epilepsy this image shows, and this patient has - https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9917-epilepsy-types-and-their-symptoms (see too https://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/Epilepsy_and_psychiatric_disorders and https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/epilepsy-and-its-management-in-relation-to-psychiatry-2376-0281-1000121.php?aid=32022). So a hypothetical Tunisian psychiatrist could in this patient avatar bot electronic medical records as Wikidata Q-ttems' charting example create records in either French or Arabic (or any other of the ~300 languages in Wikipedia).

And furthermore, a Wikidata query by a Tunisian psychiatrist doctor MD or researcher scientist looking at related cases of eplepsy in Tunisia, for example, could ask Wikidata-wise "how many patients in Tunisia in 2010 had 'Frontal Lobe epilepsy'?" along with "where in Tunisia did these epileptic seizures take place?" - and along with psychiatry-wise "Are there ways to further localize and identify in this image specific parts of the brain in the frontal lobe where the seizure occurs together with behavior questions and with medication and treatment questions?"  I think this would shape a new approach to Wikidata Bioinformatics. Brainstorming-wise further, in what ways could Wikidata / you / World University and School's Research and Tunisia Medical School at WUaS begin to do pilot studies in Tunisia with say 10,000 patients in one hospital over one year, some of whom had epileptic seizures with good imaging and data about these - each patient a Wikidata Q-item - as well as (what other aspects of the epilepsy data in Wikidata ie treatment, medication etc)? Google's TensorFlow could be used to analyze and especially learn via machine learning from these data via Wikidata.

Moving on from avatar bot electronic medical records re Wikidata and the above example, to Google's stake in Wikidata/Wikipedia re WUaS's claim 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item #, and UBI experiments, it was good to see in a recent Twitter post by John Palfrey (former Harvard Law Professor, and former Head of Phillips Academy Andover High School - and now newly President of the MacArthur Foundation based in Chicago, who's parents are both Harvard MDs), that Google protocols are coming under AntiTrust (anti-monopoly legal rulings in the US) scrutiny from the House of Representatives -

https://twitter.com/jpalfrey/status/1178312201993629696 . If Google's protocols become the way UBI experiments are explored (to distribute a single cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks) - each person of 7.5 billion people on planet earth a Wikidata Q-item - first in the USA then in many other countries with different legal systems, this would significantly affect Wikidata's / Wikimedia's strategy in new ways. Please remember that CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School donated itself to Wikidata for co-development in 2015, and received the WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 but that they're not yet interoperable, and that WUaS seeks to create Wikidata Q-item numbers for speakers in each of all 7,111 known living languages - each a wiki school at WUaS for open teaching and learning - and also for all 7.5 billion people, each a wiki teacher or learner at WUaS, in these regards.

So re Google's stake in Wikidata / Wikipedia further, and in that World Univ & Sch is both in Wikidata as well as in Google Education, I'm going to seek to add some of the above avatar bot images above to our new Google for Nonprofits' pages - g.page/world-university-and-school and g.page/world-university-and-school?share - and in seeking for WUaS to further develop with Wikidata Q-item numbers and re our unfolding WUaS Medical Schools and online teaching Hospitals - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - for online clinical care. Brainstorming-wise, in what ways Houcemeddine and Sebastion and All re Wikidata and DBPedia and FreeBase might we further explore creating 10,000 avatar bot electronic medical records for 10,000 Tunisians each a Wikidata Q-item to explore developing this further? And in this pilot study vein too how might we start creating Wikidata queries on these 10,000 avatar bot electronic medical records for 10,000 Tunisians each a Wikidata Q-item re epilepsy, for example?

I touch on these Wikidata Q-items for each of all 7.5 billion people - in 3 ways to begin - in World Univ & Sch's Monthly Business Meeting Minutes from 21 September 2019 - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/xerochrysum-bracteatum-agenda-news-for.html and  https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2019/09/agenda-news-for-21-sep-2019-world-univ.html

Thanks for your direct responses, Houcemeddine and Sebastian!

All the best, Scott

If Google's protocols become the way #UBIexperiments are explored (to distribute a #SingleCryptocurrency backed by % of ~200 countries' central banks) - all 7.5 billion people on planet earth a Wikidata Q-item at WUaS - these legal developments would reshape Internet finance law

Hi M,

Came across these 'Walk in the Light' song words from the culture of Quakerism - http://quakerismtoday.blogspot.com/2008/10/quaker-song-walk-in-light.html?m=1 - raising some intercultural Quaker questions for me, - possibly from a few centuries ago.

Am in touch a bit with Amy Hesse '03-Biology re her invitation to me to join a Reed Career Alliance video call on Thursday, but without her following up.

Am curious how she as a 37yo-something Assistant Alumni Director, and a Reed alumna, might know of some 28yo-something MD Reedies in the SF Bay Area, for ex., possibly interested in beginning a family, and might even arrange an introduction ...


Just texted this to Ed in these regards as well -

"Hello Ed, How's your weekend going? Met 3 interesting UC Berkeley Cal students the other day ... similar connecting potential in another context perchance ... one was connecting positively with me, with her friends encouragement, language-wise ... with backgrounds in a distant developing country, ... appreciated the connecting impetus coming from one ...
- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/ ... could happen too through blog ... How's your week shaping up as well? cheers, Scott"

Seeking a friend, and putting it out there, and good to have attended the Reed FAR meetings in these regards re your 'Odds and Ends' thread, Ma!

Hi Ma,

I don't know the ethnomusicological history of "Walk in the Light," but it could make for interesting research - and re questions of cultures esp. And thru time. Ethnomusicological research at Haverford, Swarthmore, Earlham and at Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre near Birmingham, and Britain Yearly Meeting in London. Part of this could involve performance - how technically to sing it beautifully, re innovation - and online .. and to further WUaS online libraries too.

I first explore Walk in the Light here recently https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/andes-reed-college-thank-you-for-your.html?m=0 and re a Turkish re-Tweet from IBM's and MIT's Jim Spohrer.

Am seeking to learn how further to play Scottish Small Pipes movingly for my upcoming 'Honey in the Bag' album too (thinking Yo Yo Ma's Bach Cello Suites here ...) interesting learning questions ... rewriting the practicing word once again.

Will share some WUaS wiki school's about these questions later. But you'll find these subjects -

Hi Ma,

Nice to talk again yesterday evening. Shared this with Ed the other evening after we had talked when I was at Stanford:

Nice to talk earlier. What's the name of the Atul Gawande article on computing and medicine you mentioned? Is this it?

Why Doctors Hate Their Computers
Digitization promises to make medical care easier and more efficient. But are screens coming between doctors and patients?
By Atul Gawande November 5, 2018

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/11/12/why-doctors-hate-their-computers


And found these in these regards -

(by http://faculty.csuci.edu/kevin.volkan/)

List of schools of psychoanalysis
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_schools_of_psychoanalysis

- interesting.



Coming back to 'Communication in the family re family identification (identity?) is something I find helpful - but not always easy. (And ... A California School of Psychoanalysis with a focus on communication, as well as re Lacan, John Money, a humans as primates-focus, an evolutionary biology focus, brain science focus, re Castells' emotion and cognition ... and esp. language-wise?),'

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/11/dusky-leaf-monkey-dont-appear-to-be.html

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/rainbows-in-culture-freud-and-lacan.html

Am curious too how to plan for improving on existing psychiatry departments in US universities' medical schools, and at Kaiser Permanente, and in each of all ~200 countries' medical schools, (and maybe even as Stanford Medicine builds a new psychiatric wing, about which I heard some residents give presentations a few weeks ago).

Am curious how online psychiatry, psychotherapy, and esp. psychoanalysis, could be made better ... and even eventually with seemingly 'sentient' avatar bots ... If someone were seeing a Yale-trained psychiatrist in Marin County a couple of times a year - not psychoanalytically trained - in what ways could such very well-trained and smart MD psychiatrists get access further to online psychoanalytic training, and also help develop related theorizing of online psychoanalysis (eventually in multiple languages) with regards to existing opportunities for psychoanalytic training. An additional two years of psychoanalytic study for certificate, plus two years, 4-5 times per week of being a training analysand online? How could outcomes be measured - re people learning about their own unconscious minds (a goal of psychoanalysis) - and psychoanalysis quality improved especially?

Love, Scott

Hi Ma,

How have your last two long days gone? How are you and how's the weather?

Circling around to this thread from mid-May, am curious how to move beyond even Lacanian psychoanalysis re this helpful overview - https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/psychotherapy/jacques-lacan-best-and-least-known-psychoanalyst - and perhaps with ideas from John Money PhD re online effective measurable psychoanalysis (?), given human individuality, perhaps eventually with AI and machine learning ... and even in a virtual Harbin Hot Springs, depending ...

Appreciating that Friends Hospital (1813) is behaviorally oriented but recognize this only goes so far and might not address issues relevant to someone seeking psychotherapy or psychoanalysis.

Just emailed Carl and Larry:

"Some of the schools (first as wiki subjects) WUaS will begin to develop with time include accrediting and licensing Medicine and Law schools in many languages, including

Psychiatry with ...
Psychoanalysis: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Psychoanalysis

Psychology: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Psychology

Psychotherapy: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Psychotherapy

Psychiatry: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Psychiatry
(Old links)

Seeking to begin the licensing process with BPPE for Bachelor and PhD degrees, which precede medicine and law - planned in all countries' main languages. WUaS is exploring building out of/collaborating with Friends Hospital (1813) in Philadelphia -

For example, see -

"In what ways could Friends' Hospital, the oldest private psychiatric hospital in the nation (1813) https://friendshospital.com/programs-and-services/, best inform ONLINE World University & School Psychiatry https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry & in ~200 countries' languages? And Is Friends' Hospital still Quaker?"

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/water-striders-eurekalert-mit.html?m=0 - and re my whistleblowing at SFFM with regards to issues with kids, and bringing law and psychiatry to the Meeting."

But psychoanalysis+ given human subjectivity (and theorizing) seems both like it could help people - the only thing that might when other modalities don't - and also deeply problematic for a variety of reasons .... Hmmm

Yet I appreciate the thinking that (Lacanian psychoanalyst MD) George, and Brig, explored in these regards themselves, and for the benefit of their kids who seem happy and in good careers.

Hmmm ... glad we've been thinking along these lines and in medical schools too re psychoanalysis nevertheless. And there's probably already a successful (and also not so) history of practicing psychoanalysis online to build from.

I think thinking about the mind and bodymind is the way to go though.

Love, Scott

I come back too in some of the above regards to the Desiderata which Lacanian psychoanalyst George Alexander MD stood by (literally, posted on his wall at the Quaker Continuing Care Center as it was :) ... https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html ...

NtFs, non-theist Quakers, atheist Friends, friends, 

Appreciating too the sense of goodness in this far-reaching interview, and re Alex @CosmicSkeptic :) - https://youtu.be/tsLEf1Uwb5o

Just wanted to remind you if you'd like the opportunity to center down in online Quaker Meeting (any time!), here's one - http://quakerworship.org/enter.asp - and while I posted about a number of these online Quaker Meetings years ago to this NtF list (including holding some NtF non-theist Friends' Quaker Silent Meetings, NtFs have so far chosen not to organize NtF Quaker Meeting online or on-the-ground as a group). 

NtFriendly Cheers, Scott

Hi Linda, 

What do you think of this Wild Yogi interview with Angela and Victor? 

Interview with Angela Farmer & Victor Van Kooten https://wildyogi.info/en/issue/interview-angela-farmer-and-victor-van-kooten-unique-way… Based on the island of Lesvos in Greece, #AngelaandVictorsYoga have been teaching together since they met more than 25 years ago. Their teaching style is playful, emotionally freeing and deeply personal :)


Appreciating much their playful, emotionally freeing and deeply personal approaches to Yoga :)

And partly inspired by A&V, I explore Yoga in new ways - http://scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html - and riffing-wise as well. 

Where do you head with some of these ' Yogic "reading" & "self-study" ' 'mainstays' ... ? And re, innovation-wise:

In what ways could a #RealisticVirtualHarbin best become a site for Yogic "reading" & "self-study" re Hippy Anjali Yoga Notations http://scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html…? Am curious too to explore too Yoga Robotics 
#AngelaAndVictorsYoga robots?


Did you at one time teach workshops in the Napa valley area of northern California? Harbin Hot Springs is just over the little Mt. St. Helena mountain range from Napa Valley in the next county over, Lake County. 

Namaste, Scott

Scott MacLeod
Fri, Sep 27, 4:40 PM (19 hours ago)
to Scott, Michael, Barbara, stearns, Jim, Edward, Richard, kmoler, Hank, Roland, jtcampb, Robert, John, Larry

Dear Professor and Chairman Stearns of the - https://facultysenate.stanford.edu - and Professors Moler, Greely, Campbell, Vogl, Harrington, Viehland, Chairman Hennessy, and McConnell and van Schewick, (https://facultysenate.stanford.edu/past-senates/48th-faculty-senate),

I'm emailing you Professor Stearns, as Chairman of Stanford faculty senate, having not heard back from other Professors above since the first email in this thread on July 25, 2019 re requesting an ethics' investigation into Stanford Libraries, Research, and Academics.

I continue to receive numerous invitations to Stanford public events, so am writing to inquire how the ethics' investigation I've humbly requested may be proceeding. re the many questions I've raised (mostly in this thread).

Since someone (a S.Z.???), who said he was from a local (not Stanford) CA police department, stopped and read me a letter the last time I was invited to, and attended, a Stanford Medicine Center for Digital Health (CDH, of which Stanford Chairman of Medicine, Bob Harrington MD above is or has been its Executive Director until recently) event in person, - but this person didn't show a badge or ID - I'm writing to inquire in particular about the legality of this. I also told this person I had inquired several times with the Stanford faculty senate about an unfolding ethics' investigation.

In World University & School's official affiliation with Stanford Medicine CDH, the emails I've received from Stanford vice provost and librarian, M.K. - banning me from the Stanford campus for no reason (and from the Stanford Libraries too - and similarly the Stanford Archaeology Department's 'ban' to me before this, with threat too of calling the Santa Clara police) seem particularly detrimental to Stanford. What might Stanford Libraries and Archaeology be trying to hide? Something to do with the sex trade, I wonder? (Having seen only little indications of this, this is a question - given the 'strength,' spuriousness and unjustness of communications I've received, from M. K, I. H., and A.V. as well, suggesting that there could be something to hide. There could be many other reasons for such spurious and unjust communications from these Stanford employees in particular, about which I don't have knowledge as well). How about asking them what's going on? I'd think that opening Stanford talks to the public would be one way of Stanford controlling for this kind of thing, or related unethical or even illegal activities at Stanford.

So I'm writing to address these ongoing and months-old ethics' inquiry questions to you Chairman Stearns, - in not hearing back from the Stanford faculty senate committee members and Stanford Law/Medicine faculty above thus far. And Chairman Hennessy above, as Stanford President Emeritus for 16 years, with possible experience in related questions, may not be able to say anything potentially either.

As president of MIT OCW-centric World University and School, now officially in Google for Nonprofits, WUaS seeks to build further positive and mutually beneficial collaborations with great Stanford. And as the president of World University and School, I'm wondering too what the Stanford process is for addressing such questions. I noticed that the first Stanford faculty senate committee meeting may be on 10/10/19, and wonder if this would be the best way to address both my somewhat growing list of ethics' questions and some legal questions too, but if there are any related issues on Stanford's campus re potential inferences above, whether the Stanford faculty senate would also be the place to address these questions - for the potential betterment of Stanford Academics and Research - and develop a strategy for dealing with these possibilities both ethically and legally?

Chairman Stearns, if you would like to, Professor Larry Viehland above, Chairman of World University and School's both wings, is a MIT alumnus, like yourself, and might be able to answer any questions you might have from the perspective of World University and School / the WUaS Press/WUaS Corporation (and you can see his name here, for example, re MIT OCW WUaS - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2019/09/minutes-for-21-september-2019-world.html - planned in ~200 countries' official languages as major online universities, as well as in 7,111 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning. World Univ & Sch is also planning to facilitate developing a realistic virtual earth/universe for everything, at the cellular and atomic levels too - think Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow / Translate with individual and species avatar bots, including, conceptually, CRISPR Cas9 into something like Google Street View - as both STEM field sites for researchers around the world, as well as classrooms).

In the meantime, would it be possible please to begin attending again Stanford public talks and events with your protection/ok? (I've been emailing both the Chair of World University and School, and some other friends about MIT's Rafael Reif's handling with his changing story of the craziness that lead to MIT Media Lab Executive Director Joi Ito resigning recently, and don't think it would be in Stanford's interest to have something similar unfold as detrimentally (to victims of the sex trade) and unethically and illegally, as what is developing at MIT now. Students are calling for MIT President Rafael Reif's resignation, for example).

I wonder too if it would be very much in Stanford's interests to launch a full police investigation into Stanford Libraries and Archaeology and other Stanford departments in these regards.

Thank you so much. And I hope to hear from you soon about continuing to attend public Stanford talks.

Sincerely, Scott
Scott GK MacLeod

Dear Larry,

I just updated the World Univ & Sch Grants.gov password again.

I'm hopeful monies could come from Grants.gov / NSF eventually.

I also added my email to you, Chairman Stearns, and Stanford faculty senate here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/rocky-mountain-national-park-re-online.html - from yesterday, 27 September, 2019.

Sincerely, Scott

Parachute plant (Ceropegia): METHODOLOGY, as I recall, for potentially even finding or creating a JOB or CAREER you really love - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Finding_/_creating_a_job_you_really_love - in the book by Dick Bolles' "What Color Is Your Parachute: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters & Career-Changers" (1970 - 10 Speed Press, Berkeley, CA) * * * Just searched on "which US universities have highest faculty and staff job satisfaction / happiness?"

(I might wear a a blue blazer to an event like this sometime, and re World University and School, rather than hippy beads and Birkenstocks, but who knows? :) * * * Am curious too how not only to create 2.2 million careers at World Univ & Sch, but also how this might emerge for Reedies and others on the virtual / digital side in a realistic virtual Harbin / realistic virtual earth, in addition to online free-to-students' degrees, and also staff positions at World University and School, for example. Thinking ~200 countries' main languages, and 7111 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning.



Brainstorming-wise, moving Dick Bolles' "What Color Is Your Parachute: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters & Career-Changers" book (50th edition? - http://www.jobhuntersbible.com/ - see these current 10 commandments - http://www.parachutebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/parachute-1200x1200-1.jpg) into machine learning / AI / a great computer program could be so helpful to so many! It's both the book's focus on methodology, i.e. what you've enjoyed doing/working on in the past, with a kind of personal, playful-even, and while not hand holding, yet an engaged conversation approach, that makes the book stellar. It also provides a beginning METHODOLOGY, as I recall, for potentially even finding or creating a JOB or CAREER you really love - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Finding_/_creating_a_job_you_really_love (the only such methodology I know of).


First written in 1970, and published in 1972 by the innovative Ten Speed Press in Berkeley, California ... it seems to me to embody a kind of people-centric, reader-has-agency, freedom-for-the-people approach to job seeking, and re finance questions especially - and building on human networking thinking!

Hi Amy,
(Reed College)

I blogged a little about this here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/andes-reed-college-thank-you-for-your.html?m=0 - brainstorming-wise, and with an impressive British interview of Richard Dawkins about his new book by Alex @CosmicSkeptic, an atheist studying theology at Oxford; my appreciation for smart interviews grows, culturally informed. This interview by Alex O'Connor of Dawkins could even inform Alex's career significantly for the better.  They're both kind of philosophers, interestingly.

I also think Hugh Porter's interview of President Audrey Bilger is a good example of an interview style that would work for Reedie viewers, for example - https://youtu.be/FjxSqc2CCQg.

With regards to what we talked about after the 2nd Reed College FAR alumni careers's meeting on 14 September - ie brainstorming-wise moving Dick Bolles' "What Color Is Your Parachute: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters & Career-Changers" book (50th edition? - http://www.jobhuntersbible.com/ - see these current 10 commandments - http://www.parachutebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/parachute-1200x1200-1.jpg) into machine learning / AI / a great computer program, it's both the book's focus on methodology what you've enjoyed doing / working on in the past  with a kind of personal, playful-even, and while not hand holding, yet an engaged conversation approach that makes the book stellar. It also provides a beginning METHODOLOGY, as I recall, for potentially even finding creating you really love - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Finding_/_creating_a_job_you_really_love.

Am curious too how such a book - "What Color ... ?" - might be focused in a machine learning program - innovation-wise - for Reedie graduates - both those going on for Ph.D.s and those taking other career paths? But even as, brainstorming-wise, an approach to help Reedies with careers without turning "What Color ... " into a computer program conceptually - and perhaps in conjunction with World Univ & Sch - this book could help advance Reed through developing a methodologically sound approach to careers for Reedies (building on what exists already at Reed for this). 

Given a kind of exploration of Reed-World Univ & Sch possible collaborations for advancing Reed (re FAR) here, I wonder too about how all the wiki subjects I shared with you recently could be turned into Reedie opportunities to begin growing their careers. And how, if WUaS were to begin to get funding to grow, how such a project manager at Reed re World Univ & Sch might even emerge? I'd be curious about your thoughts in these regards as well? 

Greetings to Audrey and Hugh as well. 

Best regards, Scott

Dear Larry,

Am wondering even if Amy Hesse (Biology '03) at Reed College, who emailed me Wednesday invited me to further Reed FAR engagement (Forum for Advancing Reed), could become a kind of Project Manager at World University and School at Reed.

Given a kind of exploration of Reed-World Univ & Sch possible collaborations for advancing Reed (re FAR) here, I wonder too about how all the wiki subjects I shared with her recently - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/andes-reed-college-thank-you-for-your.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/parachute-plant-ceropegia-methodology.html - could be turned into Reedie opportunities to begin growing their careers. And how, if WUaS were to begin to get funding to grow, how would Amy as such a project manager at Reed re World Univ & Sch grow?

I'd be curious about your thoughts in these regards as well? How would the quid pro quo or this for that work out in the community of Reed, and newly Reed and WUaS? (By way of comparison, how does the 'this for that' work out within MIT circles - and say perhaps with Harvard, or possibly edX - or other online startup educational accrediting schools ?)

Sincerely, Scott

Just searched on "which US universities have highest faculty and staff job satisfaction / happiness?"

Found:
Chronicle for Higher Education:
"Great Colleges to Work For 2018"
https://www.chronicle.com/interactives/greatcolleges18
(https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.chronicle.com/interactives/greatcolleges18)

DATA

Great Colleges to Work For 2018

JULY 15, 2018
The annual Great Colleges to Work For survey, based on responses from more than 53,000 people at 253 institutions, was administered and compiled by ModernThink LLC for The Chronicle. All survey-related content in this issue, including college presidents’ statements about what makes their institution a great place to work, was provided by ModernThink, which drew institutional data from the colleges and the U.S. Department of Education. For more details on the winners, including average salaries and turnover rates, get copies of the full report here.

In wondering about this last night, and re highest achieving colleges, as well as Quaker colleges, the only one on this above list that crossed my mind was the University of Washington. I wonder about Earlham College as being a great place to work some decades ago especially. And it's interesting to me that the words 'community' and 'Christian' re colleges come up so much in this list.

Why are not more highest achieving colleges on this list I wonder?
