The meeting notice:
Hi All,
Last meeting slides
Here is the link to our last meeting slides. Feel free to write with any questions. As always, you can click the links I have included to find more information.
Location: Online (I will email you the morning of the meeting with the link). As I am on a cruise ship ⅔ of the way to Hawaii I doubt anyone will be joining in person besides Kraig, who is traveling with us.
Overseas/local update:
Argentina
Valentina: I keep indexing aging discussion group lectures and adding the links articles to the meeting notice of this month (see below). I’ve been working on it for over 11 hours.
Sri Lanka
Everyone in Sri Lanka has been working hard to find a hospital to do clinical aging trials. We have been focused on Durdans hospital, but we are also considering several other hospitals in Sri Lanka, India and Philippines.
Dominican Republic
Kraig says there is considerable interest in the Dominican Republic with clinical resources at their disposal for research. Contact and organization to choose tasks is the next step to assemble the Dominican team.
United Kingdom
Dilani has been working to set up Merit Points for us. This will be our way to track who gets a share of the XPrize in the event we win.
Philippines
We had our 2nd (of 4?) meetings with the attorney to get the research company there set up.
United States
Progress is slow and a bit irregular in getting our paperwork finished for XPrize. As a part of filling it out we have to list everyone involved, right now we have 20 people working on it (most are only part time though). Anyone interested in helping out please let me know.
We are thinking about offering a small number (1-2) Merit Points for attending these meetings. I would like some feedback on this: are you interested? Basically 1 Merit Point will be worth a very tiny fraction of the final prize (how much will depend on the number of Merit Points).
Things I read over the month that I found interesting:
- The 7 Best Frozen Foods to Help Lower Triglycerides
