Hi Everyone,

Our next CodeX group meeting is today (Jan 28), from 1:30p to 2:30p PT, via  Zoom - please use the link and password below. Our meetings continue to be held remotely.

Our guests:

John Nay, CEO and Co-founder, and CodeX Affiliated Faculty Oliver Goodenough, Research Professor, Center for Legal Innovation, Vermont Law School, and Co-Founder and Director, Skopos Labs. John and Prof. Goodenough will update us on the work of Skopos Labs, a machine learning and NLP platform for policy data, powering leading indices related to political and policy themes, to help understand and hedge policy risk.

Samantha Zyontz, Research Fellow, Intellectual Property, and Fellow, Center for Law and the Biosciences, Stanford Law School. Dr. Zyontz will discuss an NLP method of creating consistent industry application categories across patents and papers in a specific technology, the Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR DNA-editing system, for use in creating innovation policy recommendations.

See you then!

Roland!

Dear Sam, Oliver, John and Roland, 

Thanks for your timely and topical Stanford Law CodeX presentations - https://law.stanford.edu/2021/01/27/codex-meeting-january-28th-2021/ . My questions from text chat follow. Thanks for your 'political' (party) criteria, Oliver, perhaps regarding a 'cultural' criteria  regarding INDEX investing (socially responsible eg re the Quaker Index Fund, or also the the Vanguard FTSE fund) - and I ask as an appreciator of Vanguard Mutual Funds' founder Jack Bogle's arguments for index investing.  

Oliver and John, 
What criteria do you use in choosing the companies you add to your research? (Are any socially responsible indexes used, for example, Friends’ Fiduciary’s ‘Quaker Index Fund’)? And can you please clarify what ‘going long’ means here? Thank you, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)

(Rhetorically, would you agree that actively traded companies, and funds, are much more risky than index funds’ buy and hold approach (due to costs, but also manager or even NLP error)? And would Skoposlabs’ NLP also make it possible to identify new companies, for example, for index mutual funds - and even internationally - i.e. in each of all ~200 countries’ stock markets, and in their official languages?  I’ll seek to send you an email with these questions and re WUaS. Thank you so much, Oliver and John!

Sam, 
I've heard from MIT / Harvard Professor of Genetics' George Church that CRISPR CaS-9 is just the tip of the ice berg (one of many, many) of potential gene editing tools … thus bringing into question investing in just the CRISPR CaS-9 gene editing technology, let alone regarding the patenting it produces. Is this the case? And, brainstorming-wise, what do you think of a single realistic virtual earth for genetics for editing (for ex. in a realistic virtual earth for evolutionary biology), in some of these regards? Thank you for your interesting presentation! Best, Scott

Thanks for your replies, and I'd welcome any further thoughts, ideas, questions or suggestions you might have. Thoughts, ideas, questions or suggestions? Here too is the #Hashtag for - RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click - and potentially for NLP too, as well as editing, and so much more, like patenting and investing even. 

CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is seeking not only to develop a realistic virtual earth for everything (think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth with TensorFlow and 'artificial humans' - Samsung Neons - and artificial species, at the cell and molecular levels too), but also code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet for genetics' information, each a Wikidata Q-item # - https://twitter.com/hashtag/WikidataQitem?src=hashtag_click - and not only in collaboration with WikiTree planning a single family tree presumably for everyone genetics, but also for a single cryptocurrency - such as Stanford Mine Pi (https://twitter.com/hashtag/StanfordMinePi?src=hashtag_click - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1347242273256349696?s=20) backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks and distributed via UBI experiments to alleviate poverty worldwide even; see these 5 initial reasons for coding for 7.8 billion people - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html

Scott

Dear Sanjeev, 


Both the legal documents and the Project ECHO Immersion PROGRAM didn't offer a way for WUaS to strategize the development of CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki WUaS's 200 medical schools and hospitals or to talk about this lack. So I left the ECHO Immersion due to this, and the lack of channels to communicate with the Project ECHO culture I was gaining/learning about. The ECHO ethics I was learning about in these communication practices were also of grave concern.

Sincerely, Scott
