#FreeUniversalEducation at WUaS - quite revolutionary (best STEM OCW free-to-students' degrees in all ~200 countries' languages, and wiki schools in all 7097 for open teaching and learning) ...

Boston three-cornered hat (tricorne) from around 1770s worn by the people who created this US democracy (which I got last year, 2017, in the Boston Tea Party museum) https://photos.app.goo.gl/F1kRpdYg1o8wcGFw8 … WUaS http://worlduniversityandschool.org   is a bit revolutionary too (#FreeUniversalEducation)

Harbin warm pool IMAGE in Street View STARTING PLACE

It's this image of Harbin warm pool in Google Street View which has shown up on the small screen of my smart phone a number of times when looking. This is a great beginning idea for developing visiting virtual Harbin Hot Springs from our bath tubs virtually, and for a kind of meditation therein even ...

I hope a wealth of related real time images / video might emerge in these regards, as well.

Dear Dick and Lucy,

Thank you so much for your kind hospitality recently in Brookline, and it was wonderful to see you and to visit. Here's the MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito's article on longevity I mentioned re the promise of gene editing research and longevity - https://web.archive.org/web/20180605002848/https://www.wired.com/story/the-responsibility-of-immortality/ - and while all the other versions of this article online that I looked for, including the main Wired version, seem to be no longer accessible, this Webarchive.org version contains the idea that Harvard researcher George Church is doing gene editing research now with dogs, having moved on from mice, as well as mentioning 9 main scientific appoaches to longevity:

"He is currently experimenting with age reversal in dogs using gene therapy that has been successful in mice, a technique he believes is the most promising of nine broad approaches to mortality and aging—genome stability, telomere extension, epigenetics, proteostasis, caloric restriction, mitochondrial research, cell senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and intercellular communication."

I've also updated this blog entry - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/06/koi-longevity-mit-media-lab-eternal.html - also in this tweet - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1004033825691717632 - with this article's new web site address. And I just added this article to the Longevity wiki subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Longevity - at World Univ & Sch as well.

I wonder how such gene editing will emerge into a realistic virtual earth (and at World University and School) beyond CRISPR gene editing digital technologies. In terms of a realistic virtual earth, I'm thinking conceptually in terms of Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow AI software / Brain - about which we talked a little.

Dick, brainstorming-wise, it would be great to explore perhaps co-creating a New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) Continuing Education Module (CME) on clinical ophthalmology and eye pathology for online medical students, and medical doctors online too, which could eventually be translated into all ~200 countries' official languages, and offered even in the first two years of online medical schools in same countries and languages (potentially at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School). It would also be fascinating to explore how this ophthalmological subject could be developed clinically and research-wise in a realistic virtual earth at the cellular and atomic levels, as well (and perhaps in conjunction with Google's Project Baseline, and Project ECHO).

I'm planning to give you my two books (thus far) next time we see each other - https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity - and perhaps next summer, and potentially my third upcoming book (of poetry too). :)

It was very nice to see you, and it would be wonderful too if you might find your way to Cuttyhunk next year when I'm there. Thank you again!

Warmly, Scotty
