X-Message-Number: 33042 Date: Sun, 07 Nov 2010 23:56:41 -0500 From: Subject: October 2010 Cryonics Symposium in Germany In the first week of October I was an invited speaker at the ?Applied Cryobiology ? Scientific Symposium on Cryonics? held in Goslar, Germany. My write-up of the event appeared not long after that on Aschwin de Wolf's blog "Depressed Metabolism": http://bit.ly/aBoLml Now videos of my presentation are available on YouTube. YouTube has a restriction on length, so the presentation is necessarily broken into five segments: http://bit.ly/aDiFBW http://bit.ly/cBs6Wo http://bit.ly/9GG2Go http://bit.ly/aevOMb http://bit.ly/cMkqyB My laser pointer worked well during my presentation, but does not show-up well on the videos, which makes it a little less clear what I am referring to during my talk. I am hopeful that these videos can help to educate people -- especially including cryonicists -- about cryonics technology. There is much written cryonics/cryobiology technical information on my website http://www.benbest.com/cryonics/cryonics.html but some people learn better from lectures and videos of lectures. As a cautionary note I must warn that my analysis of the Circle of Willis and carotid perfusion was a preliminary conclusion which subsequent discussions with scientific advisers have shown to be based on incomplete information. I plan to write a more thorough explanation of the subject for the January/February 2011 issue of LONG LIFE magazine. There are a number of erroneous statements that I made that are mainly attributable to me fumbling my words. For example I make it sound as though administering CPR always works if done within a minute or so after cardiac arrest. I know better than this, and I cannot explain why I cannot explain myself better at times. -- Ben Best Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=33042
