George Church - Cognition Genes. Aging Reversal. Lab-built Brain Components.

at BrainMind Summit at MIT in May 2019


See George Church's book

"Regenesis: 
How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves"

here which, according to Juan Enriquez, is the most PRINTED book in the world published ON A GENE - 




George Church "Cognition Genes. Aging Reversal. Lab-built Brain Components" https://youtu.be/jH87sfVD36M mentions sequencing genetic data for all 7 billion people at 3 mins on phone - & for all species too re #DigitalSpecies? Yes
#AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords for 7 billion people


Church in "Cognition Genes. #AgingReversal. Lab-built Brain Components" https://youtu.be/jH87sfVD36M says
whole genome's data stored on #SmartPhones at 3:15 mins & re CRISPR at 5 mins #RealisticVirtualEarthForCRISPR & 9 pathways for #AgeReversal at 9:38 mins https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Longevity~

Good morning, Ma,

Questions are implicit in all articles in the News. I find myself looking to Newspapers - web newspapers, and so in cyberspace (e.g. not in physical libraries) - in other countries to get away from the current presidential races - https://www.deutschland.de/en/topic/knowledge/national-newspapers ... 

The Guardian - England

The World - Germany

New Zurich News - Switzerland

Times of India - India

Vienna News - Austria
Eg - Clear Win for the SPD and Greens in Hamburg Mayor's Election

Berlin Newspaper - Germany

And in the US,
The Boston Globe - USA

Other countries' newspapers' too. Am not heading too often yet to the online PBS NewsHour TV show (your News of choice, I think) - and which I think is also newly in a YouTube LiveStream - which I could see on both my smartphone and on my computer laptop screen, like all these digital newspapers.

Coronavirus tops the headlines in different ways. Glad I read German in these regards. And 'place' (one thesis in my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book is that place informs culture - alternative culture or counterculture here) is newly significant online or Virtually or digitally as 'information' - and especially newly in conceiving of virtual Harbin. (I have an ongoing inquiry about the Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital in Harbin projects, and in general - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual?m=0, see too the 'virtual Harbin' label).

Glad the web make possible a wide variety of News options - kinda amazing. (Above is all in a social theory thinking vein too :)

How's your weekend going, and how are you? Thanks for this question email thread (and about Grandpa's Exeter tie too!).

Love, Scott



Noon, Ma, :)

Here's where the PBS Newshour Livestream is accessible from - https://www.youtube.com/user/PBSNewsHour - either on computer laptop or on smartphone.

And here's a related resource - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/latest - and click or search around on your laptop for related if interested, - as a PBS NewsHour appreciator, that is.

Love, Scott



Kinda wild - pipers here in Kimmerghame House, Fettes College, Edinburgh, Scotland 
https://twitter.com/KimmerghameH/status/1231533950818017280… where I studied in the 1st year 6th form in 1976-'77 (or '77-'78), & played too in the Fettes Pipe Band. Was study mate with @YuenLokMokCrowe (from Malaysia) on 1st floor:)

'Effort' in lieu of traveling as defining of "virtual tourism" - social theory-wise?

Hi Alden,

Nice to meet and talk with you at the Reed gathering in SF just now.

Let's stay in touch regarding your real estate endeavors and CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, and our planned on the ground bookstores/computer stores/ robotics' stores / hospital technologies' distribution centers (planned in all ~200 countries' official languages even).

FYI, here are the WUaS Minutes, just finished and emailed today - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/eclectus-parrot-minutes-for-sat-feb-15.html.

What social media are you on most, if any?

Best regards,
Scott

P.S.
Here's the UC Berkeley Globetrotter interview with the fascinating Manuel Castells -
http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people/Castells/castells-con0.html - (who's been compared by WSJ and LSE to both Karl Marx and Max Weber, both sociologists with a focus on economics in a sense).

Alden,

Nice to meet you on Thursday in SF at the Reed gathering.

As a scholar of tourism here -

Gazing at the Box:
Tourism in the Context of the Internet and Globalization (Internetity)

http://scottmacleod.com/anth250v.htm (2000) - where travel can be seen as an important aspect of tourism, you mentioning "effort" re visiting places resonates with me in a new way with regard to virtual tourism, and visiting virtual places in a digital mask, by hiking in them, for example, on an elliptical machine...

Here's the Harbin hot springs' gatehouse ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) where you could "walk" down the road 4 "miles" and "amble" around Middletown, CA if interested in exploring.

... and regarding -
