dear friends,
I don't know if you get my personal newsletter so thought i'd share about the event i'm hosting just before i leave town for 4-5 months.
It would be great to see you to say goodbye but I also feel that you'll really want to hear about Joel Bellenson's inspiring research...
This is the first public event for sharing his work and it's a great chance to meet him early in the process...
Once his book is published, I feel that Joel will be in great demand and less available for local events.
Please rsvp
evol...@littlewoo.org as soon as possible because after i sent my newsletter this Friday, it is already 1/3 full.
xoxo little woo

More Info About The Presentation:
"Equal
Watts" challenges the prevailing belief that we will need 5 Earths to
enable the billions of people to live like Americans. Instead it
asserts that the only limit to the "carrying capacity" of the planet is
whether the creative capacity of the Global South is unleashed by the
Solar Revolution. Joel, a former Stanford biology student who
revolutionized life sciences when his company assembled, annotated the
human genome and put it into the public domain to prevent it from being
patented - repudiates the longstanding ideology of scarcity and despair
spread by Stanford biology professor Paul Ehrlich with his 1968 screed,
the Population Bomb.
The runaway exponential development of solar power, LED lights,
desalination and hydroponics will soon render all the debates about
climate change, peak oil and population growth moot and usher in an era
that turns the current global geopolitical and economic order upside
down! This revolution will empower and emancipate the Global South -
radically restructuring cities, the division between town and country
and the family itself.
"Equal Watts" uncovers a longstanding pattern (dating back at least
600 years) of economic, ecological, political and military crises and
the exponential development of the technologies that overcome these
crises. As Mark Twain said "History may not repeat itself, but it
rhymes a lot."
About Joel Bellenson:
Joel was the co-founder and CEO of
Pangea Systems/DoubleTwist, which assembled and annotated the first
draft of the Human Genome, provided low cost access to academics and
kept it from being patented. He was also the co-founder and CEO of
Upstream Biosciences which used artificial intelligence software to
discover new medicines against drug-resistant tropical infectious
diseases such as African Sleeping Sickness, Malaria, and Black Fever.
Joel and his companies have been featured on the cover of Wired
Magazine, covered in the New York Times, BBC, Fortune and Forbes,
appeared on ABC, CNN, CBC, won Best New Technology Awards from Saatchi
& Saatchi, gave a keynote address at an African Union conference,
and chaired a World Health Organization bioinformatics conference.
