A00079 - October 2022 Must See TV: NOVA: Can Psychedelics Cure?

One of the more intriguing medical developments is the current interest in using psychedelic substances to address certain mental ailments.  Having watched the recent NOVA program entitled "Can Psychedelics Cure?", I found the prospects to be fascinating.  Accordingly, for the month of October 2022, the PBS program NOVA airing of the episode titled "Can Psychedelics Cure?" is my Must See TV for October 2022.



The prospects just may be fascinating for you as well.

A00173 - The 'Spiritual Wonder" of Van Gogh's Starry Night

  My "This Day in Science" calendar for Wednesday, July 12, reports: "2016: Scientists recreate  The Starry Night  with genetic material "Scientists from the California Institute of Technology demonstrated the ability to precisely fold and arrange genetic material in a very artistic way -- by replicating a dime-width version of Vincent van Gogh's painting  The Starry Night .  Scientists stuck over 65,000 photonic crystal "lamps" filled with fluorescent molecules to the DNA scaffold.  Though entertaining, the artistic process also represented a serious step forward in precision manipulation of genetic material, which researchers say is essential for microscale manipulation of genetic constructs for drug delivery improvements and other uses." Here is a link to the article announcing the accomplishment: Scientists recreate Van Gogh's Starry Night with fluorescent DNA | Science | AAAS Reading this Day in Science post brought to mind the most start...

A00244 - Fatima Bernawi, The First Female Palestinian Resistance Organizer

  March is Women's History Month Women's History Month - Wikipedia and on March 11, Ramadan began Ramadan (calendar month) - Wikipedia Ramadan was the time when it was hoped that the Israel-Hamas War would be paused for humanitarian reasons  Israel–Hamas war - Wikipedia but it was not.  In a previous email (see below), I discuss the legacy of the 1948 Deir Yassin Massacre which gave rise to the Nakba. Sadly, the 75th-year anniversary of the Nakba has predictably proven to be woefully tragic. As a student of history, I sense that the result of this latest episode of the Nakba will not bring peace but will produce a generation of young Palestinians who are committed to resist. One example of such historical resistance fighters created by the Nakba was Fatima Bernawi    Fatima Bernawi - Wikipedia I encourage everyone to become aware of her story.  I found it intriguing not just because she was the first Palestinian woman to organize a resistance attack in Isra...

A00143 - Hot off the press: Manhattan Beach apologizes!

Image
I received an email a few moments ago from my Amherst College classmate, Peter Alfvin, who is a resident of Manhattan Beach ... and who has been keeping me informed of the City discussions concerning the return of the Bruce Beach property to my Bruce Family relatives and the compensation paid along with the protracted process of the Bruce Family receiving an apology for what was done to the family one hundred years ago.  Peter's email title says it all and the attached newspaper article says it all.   At long last, the City of Manhattan Beach has apologized to the Bruce Family.  Now, finally, ... maybe ... the reconciliation can begin. Peter, lunch is on me when next I come down your way.  We have much to talk about my friend.
