Monthly Gathering of the Stanford Medicine CardinalKit Digital Health Community

Join our Monthly Gathering of Digital Health Innovators!

Are you interested in joining a community of digital health innovators?
 

On Tues., Dec. 1 from 4-5:30pm PST we’ll be hosting a virtual event where we will highlight projects using CardinalKit, discuss opportunities that you might be interested in joining, and get to know each other and share ideas.

*


Dear Sanjeev, Larry, Michael, 


Any interest in this Stanford Medicine Cardinal Kit event tomorrow afternoon, 12/1/20 at 4pm PT, or as a monthly event? I've just registered and asked the following questions: 


Creating #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords - https://twitter.com/hashtag/AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords?src=hashtag_click - (eg building on EPIC and Project Baseline) -https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital- for all 7.8 billion people, each a #Wikidata Q-item #, in all ~200 countries and in all 7,117 known living languages, and for the WUaS online planned Teaching Hospitals for online clinical care, as well as clinical trials and research, in the WUaS Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - in each of all ~200 countries.  


How to connect with Cardinal Kit for creating Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records,  for creating online teaching hospitals in all ~200 countries (in a realistic virtual earth, think Google Street View with TensorFlow AI with realistic avatar bots), and online Medical Schools, and with Stanford Medicine as well?


Best, Scott

JOINING - 30th November – Fettes virtual events – St Andrew’s Day, Edinburgh, Scotland (high school)

Dear Fettes Head of School Mrs. Harrison, (and Mr. George Preston, my former Kimmerghame Housemaster, Yuen Lok Mok, my former study mate in Kimmerghame, and Andrew Lownie, with whom I was in the Fettes Pipe Band),

 
Greetings, Mrs. Harrison, Karen Jones, All! I hope this finds you well! Thank you for making these Fettes' St. Andrew's Day meetings possible - https://www.tickettailor.com/events/fettes/451340/?bblinkid=245489686&bbemailid=26087250&bbejrid=1748104211

Dear Craig (Marshall), Karen (Jones), George (Preston), and Fettes Community, 

Thank you very much for these great St. Andrews' Day events online at Fettes. I attended two, at 4:20 am Pacific Time, with the Head of School Helen Harrison (and Karen Jones), and at 10:15am in the SF Bay Area; had registered concurrently for an University of Edinburgh Medical School Debate at 10 am PT, but that wasn't accessible live, and apparently Edinburgh Univ will send a recording of this as well. (I also studied at the University of Edinburgh in 2003-04 for a year in the School of Celtic and Scottish Studies, like at Fettes in 1977-78 for a year). Here are my questions from the most recent event with Craig Marshall and Karen Jones, as well as the email I sent about the first event with Head of School Helen Harrison. 


Scott GK MacLeod (You) - 
"Any explorations of online Scottish Country Dancing at Fettes - eg https://twitter.com/hashtag/DanceScottishAtHome?src=hashtag_click ? Best, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)

Fettes College       10:25 AM
Private answer (from Karen Jones)
We'll get back to you on this and on your earlier question

Scott GK MacLeod (You)       10:26 AM
Thanks, Karen, and Craig!

Scott GK MacLeod (You)       10:37 AM
How might we explore adding all of these Fettes history objects to 1 realistic virtual earth in a realistic virtual earth for history - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory?src=hashtag_click - (am thinking Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth and with TensorFlow and realistic avatar bots even). Thank you again!

Fettes College       10:38 AM
Private answer (from Karen)
Scott - can you send all of these questions to fettes.community@fettes.com - we can then discuss/explore these things with you


Yes, Karen (and thank you both) - all of these questions are in a brainstorming vein … am thinking too in terms of # Film to 3D App, for ex., (not yet coded) - https://twitter.com/hashtag/FilmTo3D?src=hashtag_click -

Scott (Gordon K. MacLeod): 
Has anyone interviewed George Preston (my old housemaster in Kimmerghame) in a systematic way, since he would know so much which might emerge in new ways in conversation? :)


In addition, Karen and Craig, am curious how the record "Blind Faith," and simlar great rock & roll music, has been 'heard' by Fettes students since it was first released in around 1970, as a novel question in ethnomusicology -

Blind Faith - 2001 - Blind Faith
(was: https://youtu.be/o_Y84j3bXCA)
This time period (the 1960s and '70s) is an academic and anthropological interest of mine as well.

It would be great to explore any recordings of these Fettes St. Andrew's Day events with a Film-To-3D App not yet created into a single realistic virtual earth for history, and even with avatar bots :). 

(Craig, All, I think the forebears of bearing my parents' last names came from Scotland: with a James Edward MacLeod (son of Norman MacLeod of Isle of Raasay) emigrating to PEI Canada possibly in the 1820s, and a James Archibald Brown emigrating from Scotland, possibly to NYC, and then Vinton Iowa, in the 1840s. My father's name was also Gordon Kenneth MacLeod MD, and my mother's name is Janet Kirkibride Brown MacLeod. Some of this history is in both Ancestry .com - https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/162331043 - as well as in WikiTree eg https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/MacLeod-2524 ; both of these organizations and platforms are working with DNA. Are you or anyone in the Fettes Archives exploring the free, high quality wiki WikiTree genealogy software by any chance? ).  

Here, too, is the beginning of free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric and edX centric Scotland World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scotland (in English)- and not yet in Scottish Gaelic - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic (planned in the Scottish Gaelic language)or in Scots' https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic (planned in Scots' ) - as an wiki school for open teaching and learning.

Fettes & World University and School collaboration?
M Nov 30, 2020, 4:45 am - 
my email early this morning to 

Dear Fettes Head of School Mrs. Harrison, (and Mr. George Preston, Yuen Lok Mok, my former study mate in Kimmerghame House, and Andrew Lownie, with whom I was in the Fettes Pipe Band),

Greetings, Mrs. Harrison and Karen (I'm sorry that I didn't learn your last name), and I hope this finds you well! Thank you for making this Fettes meeting possible - https://www.tickettailor.com/events/fettes/451340/?bblinkid=245489686&bbemailid=26087250&bbejrid=1748104211

As I asked in the Zoom meeting just now:
Are there any plans to move Fettes further online  due to Covid-19, and post Covid-19? (Apologies that I arrived a bit late at 4am in the morning in the SF Bay Area. (Scott) Gordon MacLeod here, from Kimmerghame House in 1st year 6th in 1977-78 (Greetings, Mr. Preston, All!)) 

And might there be opportunities between Fettes and World University and School to collaborate at the I.B level in this in a parallel way?

Also, World University and School is working toward offering online free-to-students' online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric, edX-centric Bachelor, Ph.D., - licensing and accrediting in CA for these - and then Law and Medicine degrees first in English, and later in Mandarin, and all countries' official / main languages. Would this be of interest to Fettes? How might we best stay in touch and communicate about this, as well?   

Thank you so much, Helen and Karen (and All), 

Best regards, Scott (Gordon MacLeod)

Dear Maitreyi, Partha, and All, 


Thanks so much for your emails, and happy birthday again, Marti and Pat! 


Maitreyi (Marti), re their thought-provocation, and your role as Harvard Professor in Havard / MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church's lab, and regarding aging reversal and a single realistic virtual earth for Genetics (think Google Street View with TIME Slider), this is an amazing development (from a General Counsel at Google)


Kent Walker @Kent_Walker

DeepMind today announced an incredible AI advance -- a step-change improvement in understanding and predicting how proteins fold.  It may open up new frontiers in biology and in developing new types of life-saving drugs.  Kudos to the #DeepMind team.

AAA

https://twitter.com/Kent_Walker/status/1333458929850970118?s=20



Brainstorming-wise, how might I begin to see and study these new proteins at the atomic level - https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/fact-sheets/Deoxyribonucleic-Acid-Fact-Sheet - newly in Google's DeepMind (after pulling, and absorbing, a very new Genetics' textbook from my digital shelf; Maitreyi, are you a geneticist, in addition to being a pediatric neurologist MD and Harvard Prof?)


Harvard and MIT's George Church - 

60 Minutes: "How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering?" (1 minute)

- and in one of the 8 ways that George Church refers to - on a computer screen (and no longer through the binoculars of a dated microscope) in a single realistic INTEGRATED virtual earth - https://twitter.com/search?q=%23RealisticVirtualEarth&src=typeahead_click 

- and for Genetics - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click - with artificial humans - https://twitter.com/hashtag/ArtificialHumans?src=hashtag_click ? And how might I study these particular hypothetical proteins with a focus on aging reversal, - and regarding this image specifically too - 

AGAG

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1317607752479305728?s=20? In what ways could I add a Twins' focus, since you are both fraternal twins? :)

Am heading in personally to a realistic virtual Harbin - and for meditation in the virtual warm pool research, and perhaps in collaborating with trained geneticist Ph.D.s to study even loving bliss at the atomic level, and regarding what bubbles up while soaking there. :) Not entirely easy yet with internet transmitting headbands yet ... into a realistic virtual earth for brain science :)

Hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus): 7.8 billion people, and identity verification too re World Univ & Sch, Miraheze MediaWiki, and Wikidata / Wikibase installation * * * Recent World University and School's successes - A) partnering with edX , B) sending in the 2017, 18, & 19 tax forms for WUaS Corp, C) installation of WUaS WikiBase database, D) joining the Stanford 'Mine Pi' cryptocurrency network * * Playing SSP bagpipes, writing book, writing blog * * * "Creating a realistic virtual earth for tourism and tourism studies with actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs: A case study" - upcoming UC Berkeley TSWG Tourism Studies' talk on 12/18/20

 

World Univ & Sch, Miraheze MediaWiki, and Wikidata / Wikibase installation

*

Dear Abdelwaheb (or Houcemeddine, or ? - which do you prefer?),


Greetings, and I hope this email finds you well. 

As I signed up for the Stanford 'Mine Pi' cryptocurrency yesterday successfully - minepi.com/sgkmac - I found the information they asked for, including passport name, and the name one is called, ETC., very relevant for planning for WUaS's student registration, since these could be the early steps to IDENTITY VERIFICATION in a developing and legal way for all ~200 countries, and regarding Stanford thinking. And since Mine Pi is in 175 countries, I wonder how the sign up information they ask for differs from country to country for them, and as a model for WUaS.  I wonder too whether WUaS will be able to collaborate with MinePi digital currency, and regarding You at World University - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University, regarding these new items we created -


 for 7.8 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item # or a WUaS Q-item #, and with WikiTree too for genetics for a SINGLE Family Tree (eg https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/MacLeod-2524 - and I've communicated about this in the past with the founder and its lead code)r, and presumably and potentially for 7.8 billion people too. AND Mine Pi may become the currency that WUaS uses, and legally regarding Co-operative legal entities (in many countries) ICO (Initial Coin Offering) relative to the state authorized legal currency.  

Also I won't be holding the WUaS News and Q&A tomorrow morning at 10 am Pacific Time, since there's an Edinburgh Univ Medical School debate (a school I studied at in Scotland) at that time, with much possibly relevance for  WUaS Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School -  and our WUaS undergraduate medicine newly planned Bachelor's degree - worlduniversityandschool.org - and Scotland World University and School (first in English) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scotland - and re Scottish students studying at WUaS (regarding even reimbursement from the Scottish Parliament). If helpful I could meet at other times in the day. 

Would you be interested in studying toward the undergraduate Medicine degree at WUaS at some point, and combined with a Computer Science major, and if this would lead to a graduate Medical Degree at WUaS? 

In further developing the WUaS course catalog, first, in this new WUaS Wikibase installation, it seems like WUaS is taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back, returning to planning fo 6 majors, from 29 majors (which would include medicine), and as we wait too on the upcoming edX dashboard in part. 

Aiming to get a university professional web site working, and with the first year's courses of these 6 majors - 


Thoughts, questions, suggestions, further good ideas?

It also occurred to me to explore keeping the WUaS Wikibase installation separate from the WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki initially. At first the WUaS Wikibase installation would be for course catalog and student registration, with the WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki for open wiki schools in all 7117 living languages (and perhaps adding somehow Wikibase installation to the back end of WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki). What do you think? 

Thank you so so much, Abdelwaheb (or Houcemeddine)!

Sincerely, 
Scott

Ma,

Played bagpipes, wrote book, wrote blog entry - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/11/fennec-fox.html?m=0 (with somewhat interesting identity questions in email to Larry) - after walk, yesterday evening, am wondering about getting hair cut before UC Berkeley talk on F 12/18/20, but also liking my hair getting longer during Covid-19. Am wondering too about professionalism (and as WUaS president and professor) ... and yet am inspired by rock and roll long hair freedom.

Ed and I talked some about my big educational project's successes - A) partnering with edX , B) sending in the 2017, 18, & 19 tax forms for WUaS Corp, C) installation of WUaS WikiBase database, D) joining the Stanford 'Mine Pi' cryptocurrency network. 

We also talked a tiny bit about a possible genetic engineering development allowing us to reverse aging. I'm a tiny bit optimistic, and due to Covid-19 and new intense Genetics' foci, - while retaining realism. ...

Seeking also to get another (the 3rd I think) group of recordings of 'Honey in the Bag" SSP tunes recorded AND uploaded by next week, before Friday, website developed - https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/ .

Newly seeking a 'cool' sound (have explored many visions for my album in blog - 
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/bagpiping?m=0) - but playing daily, am also simply seeking to record tunes well, (leaving aside my 'perfectionism') ... Re rock and roll too (Allman Brothers, 'Blind Faith' album) ... And even re mistakes ... 

...

Could our family gathering over Thanksgiving, which I enjoyed a lot (for leading to a sense of feeling connected), even lead to connecting further with N...?

How are you doing, Ma? And how are you doing with your computers' usages? And how are you also doing with the Covid in your new home? And how is Jean Thomas, and how was your visit?  

If I had a conversant avatar bot ... here's the idea ... 

People? Re #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital you & I with #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth? #FilmTo3D into #GooglePoly for #WUaSAvatarBots #ArtificialHumans #SamsungNeons #RealisticVirtualEarthForAvatarBots for 1< >1 #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics ~



And it were a Richard Rorty, Stanford philosopher, whom I learned of from George, am curious how, in conversation, we could go way beyond the Desiderata ... 

Thoughts, questions, ... ? 

Sending love, Scott

Ma,


Interesting video interview with Anders Tegnell from July re COVID-19 (RATHER THAN YOUR COVID) ... and the smart Swedish strategy, including keeping an open society, schools running, no masks, but with social distancing ...


Sweden's chief epidemiologist praises country's strategy
Sweden's State Epidemiologist Anders Tegnell tells Amanpour that despite the country's high mortality rate, the no-lockdown strategy has "served us very well."Source: CNN


I appreciate this dissenting epidemiologist's thinking perspective (none of Chicken Little's "the sky is falling":) 

Stay relatively open ??? 

Love, Scott

Dear Larry,

Thanks so much for your email, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and Karen (and your kids) too.

Am planning to give a TSWG talk on 12/18/20 and about the creation of a realistic virtual earth / Harbin. Just met this morning with Houcemeddine for the third time this week for more than an hour to install WUaS WikiBase, - and potentially the realistic virtual Harbin, (think Street View with Time Slider), will emerge from Wikidata/WikiBase databases (in Wikipedia's 300 languages) ... Perhaps to query image.net, for ex., in new ways - http://www.image-net.org/. This installation is a ginormous step for WUaS and hopefully will lead to free CA licensing and accrediting Bachelor degrees online with edX courses in January, first in English ... Who knows when SAS will begin sailing again?  

Happy Thanksgiving! :) 
Scott

Thanks, Nelson, Dean, Larry, 

I have 35 slides as an outline for my 12/18/20 TSWG talk - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SI2U7ssoy52met1OIwDwT5CbVLz98RuYRVE4OY5dj6A/edit?usp=sharing - but not yet an abstract. And per my email to Larry on Thanksgiving, and in momentously installing WUaS Wikibase/Wikidata database this week, I'm wondering how best to develop in this, and show 
(e.g. to display a Tweet in GDocs' slides, and show its video in ZOOM ... ), 
how to co-create a realistic virtual Harbin / and a realistic virtual earth, for tourists, and tourism studies' theory  - 

Dear Larry,

Thanks so much for your email, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and Karen (and your kids) too.

Am planning to give a TSWG talk on 12/18/20 and about the creation of a realistic virtual earth / Harbin. Just met this morning with Houcemeddine Turki in Tunisia for the third time this week for more than an hour to install WUaS WikiBase, - and potentially the realistic virtual Harbin, (think group-addable Street View with Time Slider, with text in the sidebar, not yet possible that I know of), will emerge from Wikidata/WikiBase databases (in Wikipedia's 300 languages) ... Perhaps to query Stanford's image.net, for ex., in new ways - http://www.image-net.org/. This installation is a ginormous step for WUaS and hopefully will lead to free CA licensing and accrediting Bachelor degrees online with edX courses in January, first in English ... Who knows when SAS will begin sailing again?  

Happy Thanksgiving! :) 
Scott

Dean, I may come into conversation with your TSWG paper the week before, too, and theoretically, if germane - in my 12/18 talk. Would love to sound out some of all of your thoughts further about my talk before giving my paper. Am deliberating too whether to write this a paper which I can submit to a journal (but not yet publish from text in the side bar, in Google Street View - as a new and even revolutionary approach to publishing).

Seeking to get you an abstract and new pic soon; title of talk remains the same. 

Scott
