Dear Donnie (Sippel), James (Meyer), Scott (Brewer), Alexis (Deloe), Sid / Pin (Mazumdar HHS), Ashwin (Ramakrishna PNC bank), Robin (Phillips), Peter (Norvig Google AI director), US Senator and former Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren, All, 

Good evening! As a followup to my previous emails in this thread inquiring about getting a cement color (for the California sun) 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition XLE minivan, and in being in asylum in Pgh from the SF Bay Area and in seeking to move forward into a newly safe Canyon 94516 departing before the end of 2024, and in growing a MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch abolition movement worldwide, might it be possible to even get a  2025 Toyota Sienna minivan from Brewer Airport Toyota tomorrow please? Just shared the following with my mother (Janie MacLeod), Sid / Pin (Mazumdar in Baltimore in the US federal government), and Ed Smyth MD in Berkeley (affiliated with Kaiser Permanente NorCal) in some of these regards - 

"Pin, (Ma, Ed), Hello! How are you? With Shady Side Academy alum too Ashwin Rahmakrishna being a senior vice president at PNC bank - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashwin-r-3881404/ - (whim I met at SSA Homecoming in September 23 2024), and my not having reached out to Brewer Airport Toyota near Pgh about a 2025 Toyota Sienna minivan recently, are you in a position to help me get a 2025 Toyota Sienna minivan tomorrow even or soon, and with US federally mandated payouts by PNC bank, and in communication with Ashwin possibly, and re the US federal government and MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch as well (for 501 c 3 / similar MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS, see - https://www.guidestar.org/profile/27-3105368)? Might there be any way that I could even head out to Brewer Airport Toyota around noon on Sat Dec 28, 2024, and sign the ownership papers, and pick up a cement 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition XLE minivan (possibly with someone from Brewer Airport Toyota then driving this vehicle over to Pgh airport, as I return the Dodge RAM 1500 pick truck rental there, and then I drive that person back to Brewer Airport Toyota, and drive on from there with at new Toyota Sienna ... and then soon to a newly safe Canyon 94516, possibly departing on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday even?) Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions? Fond regards, Scott"

With the work day in California having just ended at 5pm Pacific Time minutes ago, how best to follow up on this further please? 

Thank you, abolition ally, best wishes, staying alive, in asylum in PA from CA and seeking to move forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center / WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute soon into a newly safe Canyon 94516, kindly, 

Scott

AI Overview

Dr. George Church is a Harvard geneticist and pioneer in the fields of synthetic biology and personal genomics:
 
Gene therapy
Church's research includes gene therapies to reverse aging and age-related diseases:

Boosting proteins: Church's hypothesis is that boosting proteins that decline with age can help organisms recover from age-related diseases. In one study, researchers used gene therapy to increase the expression of two proteins in mice, telomerase reverse transcriptase and follistatin. This extended the median lifespan of the mice by 41.4% and 32.5%, respectively.

Modulating genes: Church's team investigated three genes associated with longevity: FGF21, αKlotho, and sTGFβR2. In a 2019 paper, scientists reported that a single dose of a two-gene combo mitigated four age-related ailments.

Ichor
Church's lab is developing a project called Ichor that uses genetic screening techniques to identify genes that can reverse aging. The team is using RNA sequencing and gene network data to create a “transcriptome clock” that determines the “age” of a cell.

Organ engineering
Church's lab is working to grow full-sized organs from Church's DNA.

Virus resistance
Church's lab is developing strategies to make cells and organisms resistant to all viruses.

2) multimedia rooms with MIT Media Lab light bulbs and projection cameras on all 4 sides of a room, 3) brainwave headsets, all beyond the 2 dimensional screen of desktop computers, laptops, and smartphones, how best to plan for potentially adding all such Hippy Communes around Brown University in the 1960s and '70s

"Creating a Realistic Virtual Earth

Building a realistic virtual Earth requires collaboration between scientists, physicists, chemists, and biologists. Their research, combined with mathematical proofs, ethnographic interpretations, and historical documents, can Shape this virtual Earth. The process involves mapping scientific knowledge onto the virtual Earth, allowing for real-time exploration and discovery. As this virtual universe evolves, machine learning and artificial intelligence will play a crucial role in driving its growth."

Subimago

Tomorrow’s dancer
     on the water’s
            sticky lip

hurrying out
      of her husk –
            a lush fluttering

as she struggles
      into late noon light,
            breaking all the knots

untangling
      from her own lost corpse,
            its five point shadow,

escaping into air
      taking refuge
            in the willow.

Not death,
      her shed skin
            carried by the river,

not the shroud
      of Turin, despite
            its hollow cockpit

of a face
      its warped and eyeless goggles,
            but ephemera, exuvia,

an unzipped dress
      of almost-there silk,
            wet tissue

shed instar after instar –
      tomorrow she will come
            to the luminous core –

and dance with the others
      in fluid spires,
            today she rests.

Imago

if I spin for you –
      sun-glazed, glacéd,
            swallow-tailed –

if I spin through shining air
      after years of working the dirt
            grovelling in mud

endlessly bursting
      my shellacked seams –
            slough upon slough

of my own dun skin –
      if I spin, like a bobbin streaming
            threading the updraft

swollen, iridescent, reeling,
      spin then fall,
            sailing on my own split tail

to reel again
      a flare against the sun –
            come you, will you come?

Who said ecstasy
      must be prolonged?
            This is the sweet moment,

this is the high note;
      if I spin for you
            will you come?

Spent

Her body’s empty purse
      and draggled strings
            returned

after its several transactions
      with the river,
            her abdomen dipped

to the surface of the water
      mid-flight, quick
            as if it burned;

the water takes
      her rushed deposits,
            the little gold that glitters, sifts

through cooling depths
      and in the sediment
            may hold,

may hatch, may crawl,
      may feed, may fly;
            what survives is code.

The ephemeral poetry of the Ephemera

without comments

mayfly-ephemera-danica-2

One day, when I was a child, I asked my mother what ephemeral means. She did not answer. Two days later, we went to a stream and in the middle of the grass was a dragonfly-like insect. He moved lightly, and he had the same edacity as the water hitting rocks. His body was yellow, brown, and black, but as he swung his wings, he looked like a gleam of gold.

As it was the weekend, my mother suggested that we spend all the day in that place, watching the routine of that singular insect. Late in the afternoon, after a nap, I woke up and saw him flying toward a small tree. There, he nestled and rested. My mother and I approached a little, and saw that the specimen did not move, it seemed fragile. I thought he was dead.

My mother warned me to be calm. An hour later, the insect deposited a large amount of eggs on one of the most hidden branches, and no longer moved. The flesh simply went away. So I asked what happened. “Why did he die like this, and right now when we came here?” My mother smiled and explained that the insect was actually a female that became an adult in the morning:

Her adult life began shortly before our arrival and ended now. She exists only for others to exist. She barely feeds because time is short, and her children need to be born. That is why her name is Ephemera, and that is what ephemeral means, everything that has a short duration. A word that should always be used in reference to the gifts of communion that we do not have the privilege of enjoying because it is time to go away.
