Hi M,
How are you? Fascinating Stanford neuroscience conference
on Thursday - https://events.stanford.edu/events/580/58095/ (https://twitter.com/StanfordBrain). Researchers are creating remarkable understandings of what
goes on in the brain at nano (atomic), molecular and neuronal (cellular)
scales. Tony Wyss-Coray's work with blood transfusions from young mice
to old mice has far-reaching implications for memory and longevity - https://www.ted.com/talks/tony_wyss_coray_how_young_blood_might_help_reverse_aging_yes_really?language=en - eventually using plasma. Was very glad to meet Stanford Professor and Institute Director Bill Newsome - https://med.stanford.edu/profiles/william-newsome - of
Stanford Neuroscience Institute https://neuroscience.stanford.edu/people/executive-committee and Google's Tom Dean working on the Human Connectome Project - http://www.humanconnectomeproject.org and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Connectome_Project and https://www.neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/connectome/ - in
particular, who is also a professor at Brown University (and Stanford). I also found Helen M. Bronte-Stewart, MD, MSE's work on Parkinson's disease fascinating (https://med.stanford.edu/bronte-stewart-lab/members.html) re T. Hoping to
further network with these folks re modeling a realistic virtual earth/BRAINS and at the same scales, but also at the Street View level - so like
Google Street View with TIME SLIDER with OpenSimulator for group
building, and in all 8k languages.
(WUaS could facilitate the datasets in Wikidata in all 8k languages, as well as the datasets of brain connectivity at the nano, molecular, neuronal and street view levels (in addition to datasets for modeling the cosmos: "the current estimate now stands at more than 2 trillion galaxies: more than 10 times what was previously known: http://on.forbes.com/60128BtSY" https://twitter.com/SciForbes/status/787193796639490052).

Hi M,
Glad
to have received an email from Prof Bill Kell and his students
yesterday that they are sending an intake memo today. This ia an
official paperwork step re World University and School as For-Profit in this "New
Business Practicum" UC Berkeley course for the second semester in a row
(which I'll probably also put on my CV and which could lead to
finances). About the time yesterday that I received his email, Media Lab
director Joi Ito also posted an interview with someone with a Muslim
name (possibly a MIT student), which I re-posted to this G+ Profile - https://plus.google.com/+InfoW orldUniversityinEnglish/posts/ E7ChNtNk2wD (https://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=HWgkjjZr8ag)
- who is actually the former head of digital currencies at the Bank of
England, and a lawyer. Together they're thinking through implications of
BitCoin, which is very relevant to my big project - especially with
WUaS's plans of law schools in all countries' main languages. MIT seems
to be in a driver's seat re this new currency, and England, which is one
thing I learned from this video.
I've been beginning to work on a business model canvas re
what Prof. Bill Kell handed me as I left his office about 2 weeks ago. We're feeling our way forward, step by step, in this startup
all-languages' university and school process. After our two face to
face meetings (one in his home and one in his office), Bill's email
formalizes and focuses this process further.
George Lakey's talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=9kfMWbfa-Us
- is actually a talk about his new book - in a UU church ... I wonder if
I might I please explore giving a talk about my actual virtual Harbin
book - http://bit.ly/HarbinBook - in the Pittsburgh UU First Church over Xmas, especially if I could
also explore coming back a little early to finish work on my top back
right tooth from a few years ago.
I hope to share possibly some of the videos and highlights from the brain/neuroscience conference at Stanford on Thursday - https://twitter.com/ StanfordBrain
- when the videos become available. In addition to fascinating and
far-reaching basic research into all nano (atomic), molecular, neuronal
(cellular) and behavioral (Street View) levels of the brain, there were
interesting talks re memory, longevity ... and Parkinson's disease.
Music-making was fun playing for Scottish Country Dancers
last night. Barbara S came back to play after 6 months away due
to a back problem I'm glad to say!
Gas on stove went off yesterday, so I "soft boiled" my egg
this morning in the microwave for 1 minute, which will take some getting
used to, but it is probably cheaper than the stove.

How to add the Scandanavians' approach to money to Friendly-informed World University and School's and the MIT Media Lab's approaches to BitCoin and the BlockChain?
