How would an evolutionary biologist, geneticist, genomicist, in the field, easily and quickly get genetic material, sequence it, - potentially in a realistic virtual earth for evolutionary biology - and prove that this male is related to the 3 pups, and their mothers? 


May involve concurrently developing new computer chips or semi-conductors for modeling genetics, species, and a realistic virtual earth for evolutionary biology with machine learning in something like Google Street View with time slider !

Musings ~ after traveling to natural area :) ... evolutionarily


Ma, 

Here are some pictures and a video from Pt. Reyes National Seashore yesterday:


Females, pups, and male basking, - sand dollar bed is north of here on Drake beach

'Bull 'jousting' ' occurs in early December I learned ... Next year if you come out West for Xmas early?


Just texted this to Ed -

"I think my mother had one Rosemary Harris possibly in mind for me as partner. Not a good fit, she was a New Zealander who played violin in the Pittsburgh symphony for some years, with a lot of Scottish heritage (last name being an island in the Hebrides, for ex. - had 'issues' with MD father I think, originally from Lancaster in GB) ... I think my mother's father's ACB's 1 or 2 MIT degrees and some Scottish background too somehow played a role in my mother's house and ideas for family, Unitarian church identity, and ways of thinking too ... My father found his way to Cincinnati from Boston with his Boston Latin School intelligence and perhaps the Boston connection of ACB and GKM MD (with his Scottish name) played a role in my parent's marriage ... Place and culture ... I think seeing what unfolds with possibly Canyon and seeking a partner with some Scottish background and a wonderful MD could be :)"


Mariah McKay, a Reed College alum too, who majored in molecular biology there, and returned home to Spokane, Washington, has some Unitarian church history, is married, but kids haven't happened I think .... 
...
I stayed with her driving west in January 2008 after Dad died in November 2007 ... Not sure how we connected, but maybe through Reed networks ... She's pretty ... And while we didn't connect Puffin or Fulmar birds like then ... she makes me think of meeting an American-Scot, which I think she is, further who might be interested and a MD. Wyoming-ian? Sarah Kennedy's (with Pitt PhD in Archaeology) sister is I think a MD around Seattle, both Celtic (not sure how I was invited to her Harvard Archaeological talk
&
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/02/fritillaria-meleagris.html?m=0) ...perhaps an introduction to a ~ 25 yo MD from Washington state? :)





. . . 


As I sit on bird roost on the garden patio overlooking the SF Bay on a pretty day, without partner pair bond, or nest, I wonder how to create a home and partner 


. . . 

A bonnie Scottish-American MD to be ... Who might be interested in the SF Bay Area? :)

Love, Scott

CS First withGoogle at World Univ & Sch course - Scratch programming game example & inspiration

Mwende, 

How is the 'CSFirst withGoogle AT World Univ & Sch' course going?


Per one of the two advanced projects at the end of the course, here's a great Scratch game example & inspiration: 

Daughter created this game using Scratch , she named it “Bee Careful” 😂😂🐝💚 she is rooting for queen bee ! 😊

posted from the Twitter of 

Eric Schilling, who I think is one of the leads of the Scratch project emerging out of MIT (and worth possibly glancing at his Twitter occasionally, as well as the Scratch Twitters too) - Scratch programming language projects:

Celebrated my 3-month #bouldering anniversary by climbing this steep V1 overhang in my lucky @Scratch shirt 🧗‍♀️ 🎉 https://t.co/in6rQCEbPK

https://twitter.com/SpeakkVisually/status/1490845797797494784

Rock climbing at MIT looks fun too :)

Best wishes, 

Scott

Am inquiring further about new courses, and a first one for learning the Python languages while playing with Lego Spike Prime Robotics, possibly beginning in May.

to me
Good day Mr Scott.

Thank you for checking on me, I am doing great and enjoying the Scratch course.

I am equally impressed by your daughter's work in scratch. Extend my regards to her and your entire family.

I also watched you climb the steep overhang. I have a few questions for you; 
1. Have you ever done rock climbing?
2. Do know how to swim?
3. Do you have other hubbies?

I am completing the tasks for the scratch course and I am highly anticipating learning Python programming with the Lego Spike Robotics Kit while having a walk through on some other courses which I will be taking in May alongside Python programming with the Lego Spike Robotics Kit.

Best Regards,
Mwende.

Hello VOLCANO, & whom else? 

Glad to hear from you, and that you're enjoying the CC-4 CS First with Google at WUaS Scratch course - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home. Not my daughter ... and am not sure who's daughter it is. Could it possibly be the daughter of a MIT faculty or staff member ?

- I've done a little rock climbing, and on an Outward Bound program in 7th grade, and also, in a sense, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, for 3 1/2 months in 1980, and another 1 1/2 months in 1982, first in California and Oregon, then in the state of Washington 

- I know how to swim, and also a bit how to soak ~ as meditation esp. ~ regarding my Physical-Digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic field site.

- Hobbies? I enjoy building robots with the Lego WeDo 2.0 tutorial occasionally, for one. 

Let's see what happens with the Google platform for your next courses, both potentially for a Python course with Lego Spike Prime, and with the CC-4 MIT OCW courses adapted into potentially Google Templates for courses, for more structure and engineering and student engagement. 

Best, Scott
