Dear Ma, Ed, Pin, John, 

Glad I sent out the MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch Monthly Business Meeting email invitation yesterday evening -

"Greetings! The next open MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS Monthly Business Meeting meets on Saturday at noon ET, with Zoom URL here - 




Check out agenda item 4 in particular beginning -

Stanford Med talk - Kimberly McManus' "Artificial Intelligence at the Department of Veterans Affairs" - Th 4/18/24

Dear Kimberly, Jonathan (Chen), Peter (Norvig), George (Church), 




Good morning!

These parts of the Desiderata - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html -
speak to me this morning : 



"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste ...

Speak your truth quietly and clearly ...

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. ...

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. "


Fondly, abolition-ally, warm regards,
Scott

(Thanks to George Alexander MD for sharing this Desiderata prose poem with my mother and me one of the last times we visited him at Kendal-Crosslands near Philadelphia by standing in front of a framed version of it in his entrance way for my mother and myself). 



PS
Hi Ma! How was your day and how is your week going? Went out for a jaunt, to the Quaker Meeting, the 1st UU Church and past the possible WUaS flagship bookstore, THEN to a park and Surprisingly GOT Much done on the WUaS Monthly Businesses Meeting agenda for Saturday -    

With Zoom URL: Sat 4/20/24 OPEN @WorldUnivAndSch @WUaSPress #WUaSCorp #MonthlyBusinessMeeting meets online at 12 noon ET #WUaSAgendaAndNews:



... Want to join in?:) And check out agenda item 4 re great new possibilities for an Aging Reversal Machine re Kimberly McManus, MIT & Stanford graduate working now in the US federal government in the Veterans' administration ❣️Love, Scott   



PPS
Appreciating too - 

"There are six Quaker principles that guide Kendal-Crosslands' work and they are focused on equality, peace, simplicity, integrity, community, stewardship ... "





 




Desiderata in 2024, Quaker thinking, & WUaS Monthly Business Meeting 

Greetings! Want to join the #MITOCW-centric wiki @WorldUnivAndSch @WUaSPress Monthly Business Meeting on Sat. 4/20/24 at noon ET, with Zoom URL here - 












Dear Ma, Ed, Pin, John,  


Greetings - I wonder further if exploring connecting with a Haley Tupper MD (a surgery postdoc at the University of California in Los Angeles), especially if she would have some Quaker background from Seattle where she grew up, would make sense over d.l. md who has never gotten back to me, and who cut me off on Twitter long ago. But while pretty, and possibly with Armenian? background, I am possibly seeking someone with Scottish and/or Protestant background ... and someone I connect with naturally (per my mother's observation a few years ago) especially.

See you Sunday Ma for a walk and a meal potentially? 

Fondly, abolition-ally, Friendly Quaker greetings, 
Scott 

PS
(could possibly seek to give notice from what has been a traumatic place I'm living in now at the end of September 2024 re moving into a newly safe open 

PPS
Appreciating Rock And Roll's transcendent aspects re traveling through too ... 
and for the long long term potentially eg from the 1960s and 1970s - https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead

Dear Lego's Evangelia Papacostas (Mid-Atlantic Account manager), Emily Hayes (Success@Lego.com), Soren Jorgensen (attorney, Stanford Fellow), Lego Education Robotics, 

Thanks for your prompt response, and interesting to learn Lego's legal thinking here re  

"At this time we will not be entering into any authorized reseller agreements. LEGO Education is a Sole Source entity for our portfolio so we cannot have our sets sold in your physical store"

since the physical-digital WUaS Educational Services' Stores' bookstores / computer stores / robotics stores/ educational department stores seek to be in ALL ~200 countries - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - and in their main languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and I seriously doubt that Airtable.com WUaS Educational Services' stores' databases has built in tax strategies with AI and ML for all ~200 countries, and per this Stanford SIEPR email that came in at about the same time as your first email, Lego's Evangelia Papacostas (Mid-Atlantic Account manager) - 


For your information, and in some of these WUaS "authorized reseller agreements" with Lego Education, WUaS is seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN # from - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - many of them potentially playing with WUaS Lego Robotics, and even potentially to distribute a single main cryptocurrency, Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency (which you can begin to get too from - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - as free money daily), to most of them (and to end poverty and create free universal people-to-people wiki education at WUaS), tax implications of Pi cryptocurrency probably unknown, and very complicated to calculate for all ~200 countries, and possibly all 7.9 billion people. 

WUaS is also continuing to seek to reach out to Chase bank for loans in some of the above regards too. 

412 478 0116 is my number; talk with you on Monday at 12:30 pm ET?

Best, abolition-ally, thanks, 
Scott

Multi-omics refers to a research approach that incorporates several “omics” data types derived from different research areas — such as genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics.Sep 12, 2023

https://www.nih.gov › news-releases
NIH awards $50.3 million for “multi-omics” research on human health and disease





genomics, 

Genomics is the study of all of a person's genes (the genome), including interactions of those genes with each other and with the person's environment...



epigenomics, 

Epigenomics describes the changes in the regulation of gene activities that act without, or independently of, changes in gene sequences. Some definitions confine epigenetics/epigenomics to modifications of the phenotype without changes of the DNA sequence that are transmitted to the next generations.




transcriptomics, 

Transcriptomics is the study of the transcriptome—the complete set of RNA transcripts that are produced by the genome, under specific circumstances or in a specific cell—using high-throughput methods, such as microarray analysis.





proteomics and 

Proteomics is the study of the interactions, function, composition, and structures of proteins and their cellular activities[2]. Proteomics provides a better understanding of the structure and function of the organism than genomics.Sep 27, 2021




metabolomics

Metabolomics is thus defined as the comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis of all small molecules in a system, be it a sample of cells, body fluids such as urine or plasma, tissues or an entire organism (Khoo and Al-Rubeai, 2007).

Project Baseline Aims to Ward Off Illness Before We Get Sick 
Researchers are recruiting 10,000 volunteers to discover the earliest warning signs of cancer, heart disease and other killers. 


The Project Baseline Health Study: a step towards a broader mission to map human health

npj Digital Medicine volume 3, Article number: 84 (2020)


Project Baseline was created to explore health with more depth and detail than ever before. Whereas once it took centuries of exploration to yield an accurate map of the world, we can now move faster and create a map of human health that can impact humanity within our lifetimes.

Integrating diverse kinds of data key to precision health, experts say at conference
    
At the Big Data in Biomedicine Conference, Dean Lloyd Minor said a key goal is tackling population health and disease prevention, not just waiting for illness to strike


Preventive health at population level
Apply such measurements to 10,000 people, as in the Baseline study by Verily, Duke and Stanford, or a million people, as planned for Precision Medicine Initiative

Project Baseline
Verily, one of Alphabet’s life sciences units, recently launched Project Baseline with the goal of enrolling 10,000 participants who will share their biomedical data. A long-term goal of the project is to set up scalable and standardized tools for acquiring, organizing and analyzing data, said Jessica Mega, MD, MPH, Verily’s chief medical officer, during a talk at the conference. Formerly called Google Life Sciences, Verily has a variety of projects in development, from wearable sensor devices to big data studies.
