Kaziranga National Park, India: Developing WUaS on principle, New GENOMICS subject, Graphic Design, great universities for open course ware at WUaS

I'm developing World University & School -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om -

on principle - from conscience (a kind of conscientious objection), in f/Friendly senses - because free, open, highest quality education, in 3000-8000, languages will benefit SO many people. Why don't we have free university education in the U.S., when K-12 is free? An open,fun conversation about ideas (MIT OCW/Wikipedia etc.) can emerge into a kind of flourishing.

In what ways could visiting World University & School, for example, its Media Lab - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Media_Lab_at_World_Uni​versity_and_School - but any of it, become as fantastical as visiting India, if attuned to India's 'connectedness, culturally'? :) Let's make WUaS fantastic through making things freely online :)

it's worth checking on the MIT Media Lab online itself - http://labcast.media.mit.e​du/ - just glance through the videos :)

Want to play in a sandbox, now? - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/​Sandbox - I added this and other new resources to World Univ & Sch's wiki, subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Wiki - about wikis ... playing is a fun way to learn.

In what ways will we be able to learn robotics' coding, and innovate, like this, at WUaS? A robot that flies like a bird - http://www.ted.com/talks/a_rob​ot_that_flies_like_a_bird.html - which I added to WUaS's Robotics' subject - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Robotics ...?

The triple, nuclear meltdown of Fukushima-Daichi wasn't designed to withstand a 9.0 earthquake or at least 9 feet too high Tsunami ... Diablo Canyon Nuclear Reactors in San Luis Obispo were designed to withstand a 6.75 earthquake, then re-designed to withstand a 7.5 earthquake in the 1970s ... (http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Nuclear_Science_and_En​gineering)


... One BIG earthquake with Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant can RUIN California FOREVER. Nuclear WASTE is a TIME BOMB forever, too.

Google + circles' fluidity will make WUaS sing, especially in the Music School - via http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Music - as well as in all Subjects - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Subjects ... all those subjects with so much potential for online sharing :0)

Stanford Chemistry and the Dance of Protein Synthesis - in the era of free love 1971 ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v​=u9dhO0iCLww ... pretty clever & wild :) An early form of live animation &virtual reality - of a molecule?


*

New Genomics' subject at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Genomics - with 5 courses ... We coded out the Human Genome about 10 years ago, way ahead of schedule ... see the fascinating talk which Harvard President Drew Faust moderated - Mapping the Human Genome: Ten Years After - on this WUaS wiki, subject page.

Where does Universal Health Care stand now per Harvard Dr. Judy Palfrey's article in "The Harvard Crimson" (1 Nov. 2010) - http://www.thecrimson.com/arti​cle/2010/11/1/year-students-ac​t-house/ - "For the first time in our history we have universal health insurance coverage." ... Incredible news ... Benefits are also mentioned in
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U​niversal_health_care#United_St​ates :)


Universal Health Care in the U.S. is rolling out from 2010-2019 per the Wikipedia article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U​niversal_health_care#United_St​ates ... Yea :) ... check out the WU Medical School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/World_University_Medic​al_School - and the hospital on this page in Second Life.

Just added free Photoshop, InDesign and '10 Sources for Free Graphics' Design Courses' resources to WUaS's Graphics' Design wiki subject - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Graphic_Design - with an invitation to add resources. Check out, too, the Web Page Design and Production wiki Subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Web_Page_Design_and_Pr​oduction - the web design program Komposer works ...
