Thanks, Amy (Gonzales, Assistant Professor at UCSB),
I may add this to the upcoming free-to-students' startup World University and School, building on CC-4 MIT OCW in 7 languages, and wiki, WUaS Weekly Business Meeting Agenda and News (loosely conducted in the manner of unprogrammed NtF Friends / Quakers) ... and as an UCSB alumnus, in Sociocultural Anthropology with a Master's degree focus on the Internet and virtual UNESCO World Heritage Sites, having taken Communication classes too, and worked as a TA in both departments (I think there's a UCSB video of my teaching ... part of an UCSB program for learning to teach). (I was also active in the little Quaker Meeting in Santa Barbara. Do you know UCSB's Stephen Pope for example - also a Cornell alumnI think?) Juan-Vicente Palerm was my main professor at the end of my time at UCSB, before heading to Edinburgh, Scotland potentially to do a PhD ... with my MSc dissertation there about virtual St. Kilda as nascent place.
Thanks for this -

Working on writing "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" in the new Academic Press at WUaS (planned in all 7159 known living languages with machine and human translation) but am postponing publication of it until at least 2027.

World University and School, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages, goals for the
Harvard ARDD Aging Research and Drug Development conference 10/1/26-10/3/26 in the TreeHouse in Allston, MA
Dear George, All,
Greetings. Looking forward to meeting you in the Harvard TreeHouse.
In thinking through some of my and World University and School's goals for the
Harvard ARDD 2026
Aging Research and Drug Development conference 10/1/26-10/3/26 in Boston
& re also
these include
1
Develop 3 WUaS aging reversal OSK pharmaceutical gene drug therapies initially with research, and then produce and manufacture them & with a realistic virtual earth for OSK, a digital-physical #RVEforGenetics on the digital or in-silico side - and in collaboration with possibly 3 different companies too (initially) ...that would all successfully become FDA approved ...
and then upload them to our body minds via the eRapid Fouling Resistant sensor or similar -
#eRapidFoulingResistantSensor-
(Interoperate with the Flywire Connectome Project re Drosophila fly brain, and newly develop this for aging reversal and longevity and for humans, and with 'citizen science' .... and in a #RVEforFlywireConnectome ?)
AND -
At #HarvardAgingResearch & #HarvardDrugDiscovery conf 10/1-10/3/26
https://agingpharma.org/
AND
Connect years 2007, 2012 & 2024 & when we were 7, 12 & 24 eg in #GStreetView w #GTimeSlider @ #HarbinGateHouse ~https://goo.gl/maps/

1 a
to reverse muscle wasting with an OSK drug - system wide for the whole body
eg for muscle wasting aging reversal (eg for my 91 year old mother)
1 b
to help people become ~25 years old in a 150 year old (or a 1500 year old) bodymind ... and with a realistic virtual earth too, so digitally create this pharmaceutical in something like a FORKED Google Street View with time slider AND adding the G cell and G molecule view etc levels and even possibly interoperating with Radical Numerics' General Biological Intelligence AI ... and with Insilico Medicine's 'virtual cell in time' potentially and Pharma AI - https://pharma.ai/ ...
1 c
to reverse my right ear, what I'm calling "eustachian tube dysfunction" - possibly targeting the cells involved with an OSK gene drug therapy ... including for pressure and nerves in the area .. and such that I could play the Scottish Highland Bagpipes' again, and put my head underwater etc and wouldn't have to sleep only on my right side (since pain occurs if I sleep on my left side)
2
Create a
realistic virtual earth & Harbin for aging reversal with Harbin gate house's 3 dates, & 3 years too to time slide cells And molecules back & with pegman as a avatar agent ehr by FORKING from Google Street View and adding the G Cell G Molecule, and even the G Qubit levels
2 a
and even with the Google UCSB Quantum Computer and re -

Prove aging reversal - at Harvard ARDD 2026 itself
per Anthonio Regalado's Tweet (scibrazil@gmail.com.- above) a few weeks ago
Antonio Regalado
@antonioregalado
Age reversal remains unproven. Yet that is the goal of the healthspan XPRIZE pretty much. The purse is $81 million to the team able "restore" the cognitive & physical function of a person by 20 years, after 1 year of treatment. Finalists to be announced this summer

Create
Courseware for aging reversal and extreme longevity and related research
1-3 aging reversal genetics and or research courses for WUaS, with parallels to MIT OCW courses and to add here too -
5
Yoga ...
Develop a realistic virtual earth for Yoga (as in 8 limbs of Yoga) and Yoga asana perhaps interoperating with our avatar agent electronic health records or digital twins and for research too

Scientists discover why exercise reverses muscle aging | ScienceDaily
Incredible: A response to how #AgingReversal of #MuscleWasting works with movement at molecular level from #DukeUniversityNUS :
Scientists discover #
Researchers have uncovered a molecular “switch” that helps explain why exercise keeps aging muscles healthy. By reducing levels of a gene called DEAF1, physical activity allows older muscles to clear out damage, repair themselves, and maintain strength.
