Hi Nathan,

Have you see JoVE.com, (Journal of Visual Experiments)?  

 I see you’re exploring options for a streaming platform for science videos, and I’m currently working on a related project. I’m curious to learn more about your use case to see how it aligns with what I’m working on.

Are you primarily focused on watching science videos, or are you the creator of these videos? Also, could you provide some details on the scope of your content? For example, how many videos are you planning to stream, and what’s the average size of these files? Lastly, how many viewers do you anticipate streaming your videos?

Best regards,

James

Hi Nathan, James,

Thanks for the input, Nathan.

James, I was planning on streaming my day-to-day in a research university lab. I imagine 0-5 people may join in at any given time. The idea would be mostly to meet and talk with other scientists in my field. Maybe we could discuss ongoing experiments with each other. I work on bacteriophages and am doing a lot of sequencing lately, and could use all the help I can get.

Hi Hans,

A daily "ride-along" with a biological research scientist sounds fantastic! YouTube Live might be your best bet for reaching a larger audience, as it has a strong foundation for streaming and audience engagement. Given that you'll be working with gloves and at the bench, minimizing interaction with a keyboard and mouse would be ideal.

If you're aiming to stream to a smaller, more focused group, you might consider self-hosting using Jitsi, an open-source platform I really like.

For ongoing experiments, another approach could be to record and edit a video to focus on key points and questions. You could then share it across various communities like DIYbio, YouTube, r/labrats, and with a select email group of subject matter experts.

Best,
James

Hi Jonathan,

Checked out your website, nice 3D prints! Finding phages can be pretty easy if you know where to look! I collect sewage plant water and filter that, but you can also just use water from lakes and stuff to find phages.

James,

I think you're right and I'll start on YouTube when I begin this in Sept. Thanks for the pointers and I'll let you all know when I launch this!

Making real life science new knowledge shareable is really difficult. The amusing two steps done currently, are just morning kisses of blowing in the mirror of self adoration, really. This is pathetic, but its also important to realise really sharing heavy duty facts, newish systems and supporting ideas, S/W, Data on and on it goes is generally more labor and time then most research line items.

What are those sad two steps ?

1) Incoherent Github with almost no worked examples. No real enabling stuffola, whatsoever. 

2) Fat database and web browser program. One is unusable due to no metadata, the other just falls apart after a couple months.

Did I mention a snazzy name for whatever it isn't ?

Oh, that's 3 things, sorry.

Can this be improved ? Well, yes but its a field of low expectations here. I mean, downloading a massive TAR or ZIP file and poking at it for 1/2 hour, is very close to a worthless, but not entirely,. "Something in here might do something !", is about all the end user gets. Watching the alleged support s/w fall apart is pretty sad, too. 

 Low expectations ! That's the firster activation code here ? Maybe....

Face it entirely too: George Church says only a company to try each thing has the pull to matter.  So then the science urge is turned into greasy unfulfilled promises and the counting of unhatched chickens for the bean counters.

"Did you boys get paid anything, by anybody, this week ?" is the sudden, in your face every day question, not whether it really works at all; ( phooey on that noise ).

Always thought streaming science would be cool.  Then reality sets in.  That would probably kill any chance to patent or publish something.  Then your PI doesn't get a grant, then the University sues you, then you get fired.  

I'm being pessimistic but based on things I've seen and experienced, it's probably not far off.  

Someone's paying you to do that research presumably if you're at a University, and you're giving the results away for free and disclosing it to the public.  

I'm not saying that's the way it should be, but seems how it is. 

Jove is cool but paywalled.  

There used to be another more open video protocol website I forget the name of.  I thought it was like petri.com or experiment.com or labrat or bench something.

I don't know, that's why I asked. I would assume that promotion of one's own for-profit enterprise (even though it's one I'm definitely interested in) is frowned upon.

Then again it's not like you're interrupting a thriving, active community ;-)

Tell me, what are your thoughts on rapamycin?

[jadams grg.org]

It is definitely not a for-profit enterprise.  The Carl I. Bourhenne Medical Research Foundation dba Aging Intervention Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) and the Gerontology Research Group is a volunteer organization.

 

My intention with posting the announcement was to provide valuable information.

 

I’m a DIY guy, not so much an institutional researcher. 

Here are some of the things I’ve done, most of it DIY

https://www.aginginterventionfoundation.org/JohnnyAdamsRecentRecords.pdf

 

You asked about rapamycin - I take rap. It’s one of the therapies available now to help get a few more good years.  Useful along with nutrition/fasting, exercise, sleep, probiotic foods, some supplements, other prescriptions like metformin, dasatinib, etc.  Along with things like pure water, dental care, reducing risks, and a few others.

 

I’m on a roll here and it’s Sunday and no pressing engagements,

so I’ll go all in and write some things I was hesitant to over a concern of being considered not within the guidelines or spam.

 

I’m in this to create solutions for open ended life – healthy of course, and making the world a better place. 

At age 74 I’m determined to develop therapies to be young again – age 26.

 

The top 3 in the subject of my talk:

Therapeutic plasma replacement.  I’m leading this one.

 

That’s a bridge to developing

Advanced Exosomes and Other Plasma-Derived Therapies for greater system-wide age reversal. 

 

Together the two are a bridge to

Yamanaka / OSK Gene Therapy to reset the epigenome toward youth / cellular reprogramming.   I am a part of the team that’s developing these.

 

Let me know if you believe others are more important.  I would easily jump to something better.

 

We’ll stay tuned to developments in others like mitochondrial, senolytic, microbiome, gene therapy etc, and help with their development.

 

In my talk I make it clear I’m not in it for the money – I want the therapies, for myself and our community, and to make the world an even better place.

 

Cheers,

Johnny

Ah, well, in that case I apologize.  I figured this was some sort of sales pitch in disguise.

I don't know much about therapeutic plasma replacement, but it doesn't really seem like it would do much.  I admit I'm biased because I heard it's popular in Silicon Valley, and I just assume that anything they do is a waste of money.  What evidence do you have that it has real effects?

[jadams grg.org]

It’s all good Daniel.  I too am pretty tired of all the spam. 

 

In the meeting I showed a number of clinical studies, how it is used as a therapy for various medical conditions, and other reasons behind it. 

 

This is a clinical study to find out how well (or whether) it works.

3 arms

Therapeutic Plasma Replacement (TPR) – Replace plasma in seniors with thoroughly screened plasma from donors in their early 20s

Therapeutic Plasma Infusion (TPI) – Infuse seniors with thoroughly screened plasma from donors in their early 20s

– and –

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) – Exchange plasma with saline and albumin

 

There will be different amounts of plasma and variations to find out what works best for a particular study subject.

 

What started me on this was that the TPE I had gave the best objectively measured and subjective results of any therapy I have ever tried.  Including umbilical cord plasma.  My expectation is that TPR will be even better.

 

For measurements and details, in the following link, scroll to

Fri Sept 23 (2022/09/23) – Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE)

https://www.aginginterventionfoundation.org/JohnnyAdamsRecentRecords.pdf

 

There’s too much to cover here, but there will be another presentation and I’ll be recording it so you might want to tune in.

 

If OK I’ll post the announcement here.

 

Cheers,

Johnny

Thanks, Dan.

Dakota, I see what you're saying, but my PI specifically encouraged this. He has no plans to patent, and our field is more about working together than it is stealing ideas. Maybe we're just an exception though!

[Dan Kolis]

Getting a patent is sometimes moderately challenging. I have two ( both pretty basic to the field... both long expired ).

https://patents.google.com/patent/EP0848391A1/en

Ahh. Universities and some companies, etc maybe more non-profits ( if that really exists, in reality )... Get patents to show off, not get paid.

 I think the explanation is 'papers' invariably spills the guts on ideas enough, if the patent isn't in the pipeline, its up for grabs entirely.

That is: Only people not in the inventor's hot seat think you get this thing granted / prosecuted successfully and there is some bag of gold on the table; --for the LIKES of YOU !

It takes surreal amounts of money to protect a patent if you have no initial paying customers. It takes years, and frequently the process of deciding is by people that don't know anything: ZERO. So it's a standard: "Your job as a lawyer is to lie, lie and if that doesn work, combine lies and begging, and evil stories". 

So, hmmm. Certainly many professionals intentionally hide the best part, quit, wait awhile and then try to make a company and not get in trouble. It certainly works enough of time to consider...

But, its not either easy, or reliable.

PROBABLY the very best way to monetize a patent is a fist cheap cheap secret $$ value license, followed by infinite aggression and/or deal making. "Abandonment, Priority, Interference" there are lots of ways a patent can be annulled or superseded even without considering whether it works, too.

If intellectual property generally interferes with life science expositions, its usually more greed and middle manager fantasy then planning. Easier to hide the best part intentionally undone, move, wait and pretend it is an independant development.

Note Stanford and MIT are constantly 'in trouble' with court actions that go on and on. Its no easy way to proceed.

But I mean, how else do you get $300K a year for each jar of pills to reverse a disability ( like Cystic Fibrosis ) that you did on a government's tab without considerable sneaky business ?

Telling the truth will get you nowhere fast. For instance, no legal people will want to deal with you whatsoever with an attitude like that.

[Dakota Hamill]

Haha that's great.  I didn't mean to come off as a wet blanket.  Openly sharing is what it should be all about.  

Does anyone know the name of that free and open video protocol website that isn't JOVE?

Points to the ongoing NSF notion for sharing metadata, etc.

https://datamanagement.hms.harvard.edu/plan-design/data-management-plans/nsf-data-management-and-sharing-plan#:~:text=What%20is%20required%3F,of%20work%20under%20NSF%20grants.

Note there are a few worked examples. As you may know;( ie USA researcher or assoc of it ) having this is worth some points in the funding number aggregation process, too...
