Ma, Sandy (mon frère),
If you could get a monthly aging reversal shot like this spaniel is getting a shot here,
Harvard and MIT's George Church -
60 Minutes: "How soon could humans reverse the aging https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk
- and which was FDA approved (so we understood the science thanks to experimentation, and it was safe and effective), would you do so? :)
I think I'd prefer a capsule :) ... still seems some ways off in the future ... am not holding my breath either ... but there seems reason to be optimistic perchance :)
L, Scott

Marc!
How are you? Are you 'holed up' in your mountain hideaway exploring the intricacies of the immune system virtually, - and due to coronavirus pandemic memes (since the viral / virus expression seems to be quite limited, and in all ~200 countries ... SARS in China and Italy initially, and introduced???, and then the Swedes took the 'herd immunity' approach successfully to a somewhat mild coronavirus Covid-19 virus ... and tests may become available in supermarkets soon - & vaccines too)???
In what ways could this best be done further in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click and a #RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click?
I enjoyed this glimpse into academic life in Zurich! -

In what ways will it be possible for MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch to collaborate remarkably with ETH Zurich, I wonder. Do you work with / hire ETH Zurich graduates in great numbers?
Warm regards, Scott

Hey Scott!
Happy to hear from you! The immune system has evolved and adapted to eliminate pathogens, and pathogens have adapted and evolved to escape it.
The game has been going on For ages, even though virus do seem to use minimal gene expression to create havoc within organisms and populations. In the end it’s an equilibrium so there is hope it should stabilize at some point. And yes, our behavior or memes are the main cause for spread, as virus are very effective at exploiting our weak spots.
How are you? I see your University and Harbin projets moving forward, that’s great. We heard about the fires in California, and people staying at the beaches, hope it’s not too bad. Viruses are likely to survive heat waves and climate change...are we?
Places In the mountains and cool woods in the hills are likely to become highly sought for...
Work is fine, our Company is French-centric so lots of frenchies and rarely do we see Zürich students... lack of diversity is the surest way to extinction.
So little we can do to grapple with important issues...
So let’s preserve what we have and celebrate long lasting friendships.
A ta Santé Scott, et à la prochaine

Scott asks:
(communicative behavior, as in the media? ... re memes as replicating cultural units)

Marc,
So great to hear from you too!
Sounds like you're exploring a variety of 'conversations'! Evolutionary, immune system-wise, viral, company-identity-wise ... evolution biology goes on ... and beginning a family is on my mind, so dating would be great ... and while I have a great 'pad' ... the 'new normal' complicates things.
World Univ & Sch is moving forward, OUI ... is developing step by step, SOMETIMES with a side step or two along the way :) ... and WUaS has made some great recent advances ... like OFFICIALLY carrying Lego Robotics for WUaS 'home robotics' - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html ... (but so far only for US students).
Harbin Hot Springs' projet aussi moves forward - oui - but not yet in a realistic virtual Harbin - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualHarbin?src=hashtag_click (with a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics or Brain science yet https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click !) - so more in blog - eg https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20Harbin - and see upcoming talk I'll likely give in the UC Berkeley Anthropology department this autumn - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/08/rosa-californica-california-frontier.html - at bottom. (And Harbin newly appears to be open-closed - https://harbin.org/ - even regarding California's stay at home directive - https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-for-essential-needs/ - since there's fire in Lake County, California closing it again now, apparently, but one can still make reservations) ... I emailed Sunheart at Harbin Happy birthday recently ... see Rosa Californica-California Frontier blog post again - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/08/rosa-californica-california-frontier.html ... my daily blog and 6 Twitters are ongoing creative endeavors.
Living in a well-designed little house-let in a beautiful spot in the hills near Berkeley is amazing in some ways, but am living in some solitude here too, which could change with dating ... it could be great if I could even come into 'ownership' of this property somehow ... )
Amazing that WUaS has this daily free newspaper -
The latest The MIT OpenCourseWare Daily! https://t.co/e1SrbGQrCk— WorldUnivandSch (@WorldUnivAndSch) August 22, 2020
https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1296984123647709186?s=20 - characterizing too the MIT OCW CC-4 licensing arrangement with WUaS ... Am hopeful edX CEO & MIT Prof of EECS Anant Agarwal can further open the way for WUaS to work with edX -
We’ve come a long way from the hype that #MOOCs generated in 2012. As 2020 becomes known as the time of online learning’s ‘second coming,’ I believe that this time is different: https://t.co/i7czixXmxp— anant agarwal (@agarwaledu) August 21, 2020
https://twitter.com/agarwaledu/status/1296806235749187586?s=20 - and perhaps not just via Open edX.
Am teaching Scottish small piping now (have given 20 lessons so far) ... and am just getting into teaching SSP composing interestingly ... Are you making music these days? Are you exploring other aspects of evolutionary biology, besides the immune system and viral processes en français sans les ETH? What is equilibrium in a multidimensional single realistic virtual earth for genetics too (https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click) I wonder? :)
Thoughts about aging reversal re George Church as well? (see below:)?
Oui, oui, oui
So let’s preserve what we have and celebrate long lasting friendships.
A ta Santé Marc, et à la prochaine
Fond regards,
Scott

Ma,
Smoke is back thick in the morning, so shut windows covered by curtains in front room at 7 am , 75F ... at 10:30 78F ...
Am amazed by these digital technologies we live among ... and use (smartphone, internet, laptop computer, house-let, Evaporative cooler, refrigerator, microwave, smart TV, hybrid car) and appreciative ...
The great book "Always Coming Home" (1985) by Ursula K. LeGuin takes place 400 years in the future, after the oceans have risen, and in the Napa Valley (where Ursula grew up as a child) where in the Valley the main character's mother who is of the Kesh people Dance the Wine, and other seasonal ritual dances (and where they have computers, in underground Heyimas) - and where the main character Stone Telling's father is from the warlike Condor people, who keep trying to put war technologies into the air as flying machines, but fail. It offers an interesting perspective on technologies and cultures - peace, too - and Ursula's family as well?, and since Ursula's father was Alfred Kroeber, after whom the UC Berkeley Anthropology building is named, and where he was a founding professor. (And her mother, Theodora, wrote the book Kroeber, Theodora (1961). Ishi in two worlds: a biography of the last wild Indian in North America. Berkeley: University of California Press. ISBN 978-0-520-22940-2 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishi. They were living in Berkeley, California around 1900, since the Cal Anthropology Department was founded in 1901. What a different world that would have been, and in the Napa Valley too - culturally and anthropologically in its own right! (Will we be able to revisit in in a realistic virtual earth for history - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory?src=hashtag_click - and a realistic virtual earth for anthropology - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForAnthropology?src=hashtag_click)?
Am wondering too about the role of psychiatry to help people at the time, around 1900, and how one could plan for psychiatry 10 or 100 years from now online, in the SF Bay Area, and AROUND THE WORLD!
What are you up to today? And how are you doing?
Love,
Scott
