Was this Central Avenue @Cornell Univ #HippyVan 'central' in the 1960s & '70s?

Was this Central Avenue @Cornell Univ #HippyVan 'central' in the 1960s & '70s? How could we add photos & videos - from the @Cornell_Library to find out - to #GoogleStreetView w #TimeSlider as an emerging #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory? Talk w #HippyAvatarBots as #LLMs #wuAsVR~

Dear Rebecca, Johannes, and Ben, 

Very nice to meet and talk with you yesterday evening "at the Soil Factory for an interactive performance action and celebratory dance party featuring a local band, Motherwort" - https://pma.cornell.edu/news/ithaca-department-arts-and-futures-strengthening-ecological-narrative-onstage.

More about a realistic virtual earth for everything, eg for STEM, #ForSoilScience, #ForGeology, #ForArchaeology, #ForEvolutionaryBiology, #ForGenetics, #ForAgingReversal, as field sites, and classrooms, here, for example - https://x.com/scottmacleod/status/1680573243147575296?s=20 - and in related #Hashtags on Twitter eg #RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM and in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth, and in the 'virtual earth' label in MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's blog - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20earth - and my daily blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20earth - and think Google Street View with Time Slider (and in seeking to create a #RealisticVirtualHarbin Hot Springs for ethnographic and STEM research, and especially a 2nd Physical-Digital Harbin anthropology book project). Could this become a new kind of 'operating system' metaphorically, and in the #GoogleWUaS ecosystem?

And Rebecca, all, here's Harvard and MIT professor of genetics' George Church in the Harvard Medical School in a 66 second, 60 Minutes' video interview on Aging Reversal - 

How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering?

What's happening in aging reversal and longevity genetics' research in the plant world, Rebecca, and as a possible new direction for your research, based on your past genetics' research, and as a molecular biologist too? Do we know how doubling the life span of any given plant species by "adding" genes - per George Church's video - back into the species might work? How might we add genes back into plants, or microbes in soil science, both physically AND digitally, in an emerging #PhysicalDigital conversation work - and in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForSpecies?  

How to add such research even with #FilmTo3D or #FilmToNDimensional Apps into 1 #RealisticVirtualEarthForAgingReversal ... think Google Street View with time slider, Google Cell View, Google Molecule view with TensorFlowAI, TensorStore and little Pegman becoming Avatar Bot Electronic Health Records for humans, and possibly something parallel for plant species, and in veterinary medicine too for other mammalian species? Is the Cornell Computer Science department in conversation with Cornell University’s School of Integrative Plant Science - where "Rebecca Nelson is a professor at Cornell University’s School of Integrative Plant Science" - https://tci.cornell.edu/?people=dr-rebecca-nelson?

Congratulations on your MacArthur Grant in 1999, Rebecca, as well. And did you grow up in an unprogrammed Quaker Meeting, by any chance, since you went to Swarthmore? I've been active in about 12 unprogrammed Quaker Meetings since around 1975 or 1976, and became a member of the RSOF in Edinburgh Scotland, when studying at the Univ of Edinburgh in 2003-2004.

All the best, Friendly regards, and thanks for the great Motherwort dance music! :),

Scott

Dear Ben,
