Harvard / MIT geneticist George Church, in this time of probable incredible genetics' advances (due to Covid-19) - and at the NIH? - has me wondering whether we could be living in 30 year old bodies in some years at 148 years of age (about which he's talked in one video), and how genetic coding would make us stronger -
"A, C, G, and T are the "letters" of the DNA code; they stand for the chemicals adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T), respectively, that make up the nucleotide bases of DNA" (https://www.genome.gov/
... so we'd perhaps lessen the frequency of falling and hip breakage in our 90s, or 100s and beyond! Is it just a matter of the developing technologies and knowledge to string these ACGT letters together in different ways, and reinsert them in our bodies? :) Or as he says in this 1 minute video, reversing aging is about adding an enzyme back in since the gene function is going down with age ...

So glad you're packing enough food, gear, lunch, warmth (but not 'packing heat'! :)? Ma - to feed a growing family? :) - on your adventure into the wild lands of Ligonier, Pennsylvania, with your Unitarian friend, Christine!
Have a great trip these next few days at the Wilson's place!

Hi Joan (from Tanzania, living in central Europe, and formerly a student in my online course, "Network Society and Information Technology, and the Global University"),
I've unsubscribed you. How are you doing? Long time since we've studied "Society and Information Technology - http://
Greetings to your father. Would you be able to share your father's email address with me? I'd like to stay in touch about -
Tanzania World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.
for free-to-students' online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric degrees
and similarly - Kenya WUaS - https://wiki.
Swahili language - https://wiki.
and other East Africa countries too. Do I remember correctly he was the minister, or in the ministry, of culture in Tanzania or Kenya?
Glad that World Univ & Sch is partnering with edX verified courses for free-to-students' online degrees, as well as growing gradually as free open wiki schools to freely and openly teach and learn about most anything - https://wiki.
Best wishes,
Scott

PS
Good to see that Swahili is offered at the IB level, but perhaps not yet online -
Around 3000 languages are spoken in Africa. Some have tens of millions of speakers in countries with booming economies. Only Swahili is offered at IB/A-level but isn't very common. Why do we learn the languages we learn? It's time to broaden our horizons #BlackHistoryMonthUK
