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 - 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. I also found Helen M. Bronte-Stewart, MD, MSE work on Parkinson's disease fascinating (https://med.stanford.edu/bronte-stewart-lab/members.html). Hoping to further network with these folks re modeling a realistic virtual earth 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.

Here's a TED Talk that parallels what Tony Wyss-Coray's said at Stanford, with updates about Alzheimer's patients ...

Here's Tom Dean's related and recent Stanford course:

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/+InfoWorldUniversityinEnglish/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.

L, Scott
