Fritillaria persica: Harvard / MIT geneticist George Church, in this time of probable incredible genetics' advances (due to Covid-19) - and at the NIH? - has me wondering whether we could be living in 30 year old bodies in some years at 148 years of age (about which he's talked in one video), * * * Joan (from Tanzania, living in central Europe, and formerly a student in my online course, "Network Society and Information Technology, and the Global University" * Tanzania World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Tanzania,_United_Republic_of for free-to-students' online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric degrees and similarly - Kenya WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Kenya - both partly in the Swahili language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Swahili ~

Have a great trip these next few days at the Wilson's place! 

Havard / MIT geneticist George Church, in this time of probable incredible genetics' advances (due to Covid-19) - and at the NIH? - has me wondering whether we could be living in 30 year old bodies in some years at 148 years of age (about which he's talked in one video), and how genetic coding would make us stronger - 

"A, C, G, and T are the "letters" of the DNA code; they stand for the chemicals adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T), respectively, that make up the nucleotide bases of DNA" (https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Genetic-Code)

... so we'd perhaps lessen the frequency of falling and hip breakage in our 90s, or 100s and beyond! Is it just a matter of the developing technologies and knowledge to string these ACGT letters together in different ways, and reinsert them in our bodies? :) Or as he says in this 1 minute video, reversing aging is about adding an enzyme back in since the gene function is going down with age ... https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk (Time to break out a very new genetics' textbook, or even open his book " Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and ...")
