4S 2026 CfA: Open Panel on ontologies of (ac)counting with and beyond data
by Srravya C 28 Apr '26

28 Apr '26

Hi everyone, We invite abstract submissions (250 words) to our 4S open panel on "Counting matters: The ontologies of (ac)counting with and beyond data.” The panel will be hybrid, with options to join in-person in Toronto or online. Please find the panel abstract below. For accepted submissions, we aim to offer an opportunity to submit extended abstracts (closer to the conference dates) for engaged feedback with discussants. ---- *[Panel: 213] Counting matters: The ontologies of (ac)counting with and beyond data* Techniques and technologies of counting have roots in colonial practices that aimed to ‘see’ populations in specific ways. Such acts of “seeing” were never merely descriptive, whether undertaken by colonial states or markets (Scott 1998; MacKenzie 2008; Fourcade and Healy 2017). Rather, they actively shaped how populations were governed and valued. Even as data-driven technologies and their processing capacities have evolved, these histories continue to shape how states, markets, civil society, and communities perceive citizens, workers, consumers, and themselves (Sriraman 2018; Eubanks 2017; Noble 2018). Be it national citizenship registries, Covid-19 dashboards, targeted advertising, or productivity metrics, these contemporary projects are deemed apolitical and neutral tools for impartial investigations and ‘evidence-based’ governance. Crucially, this framing treats counting as descriptive rather than constitutive, obscuring the logics (and politics) through which certain realities are made to count over others. Against this backdrop, this panel invites critical explorations of contemporary modes of (ac)counting with and beyond data. Here, we understand counting as encompassing the norms and practices of enumeration through which our worlds are made to count and data, as encompassing not only datasets and metrics but also qualitative accounts, records, proxies, and other material–discursive forms. Moving beyond dominant framings of counting as problems of surveillance and control, we problematise counting as world-making (Verran 2001) — what ways of being and becoming are counted and accounted for? How are contemporary data-driven technologies implicated in these processes, co-producing these realities? We invite contributions, including empirical studies, theoretical and methodological reflections that explore themes including: How are data-driven practices and methods deployed to enumerate various spheres of everyday life? What actors, institutions, and relations are caught within and shaped by contemporary modes of counting? What specific counts are produced, normalised, or overlooked by these practices? And how do they (re)make the worlds they enumerate? ----- Please share the call with students and colleagues who may be interested in the themes of this panel. 4S 2026 is happening in Toronto from Oct 7 - 10. The deadline for abstract submission is April 30. More details on how to make a submission can be found here <https://www.4sonline.org/call_for_submissions_toronto.php>.

PhD position call in Digital Participation in War
by Devanjan Bhattacharya 13 Apr '26

13 Apr '26

------------Sorry for any cross postings------------------ Dear all, Please find below a PhD position call in our team at University of Edinburgh. PhD opportunity call: The WARSHARE: The New War Front – Digital Participation in War project, funded by a UKRI European Research Council Advanced Grant and led by Professor Andrew Hoskins at the University of Edinburgh, investigates how digital technologies and data-driven communication reshape contemporary warfare. From a computer science, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics perspective, the project examines the large-scale production, distribution, and interpretation of war-related digital content generated through smartphones, social media platforms, and messaging applications. Modern conflicts produce vast volumes of multimodal digital data, including text messages, images, videos, memes, and emojis. These data streams form complex digital traces that can be analyzed computationally to understand patterns of participation, narrative formation, and information propagation during wartime. The project applies AI and machine learning techniques—including natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and multimodal analytics—to mine and interpret these large-scale datasets. Such methods enable automated classification of textual discourse, detection of visual patterns, and identification of coordinated information campaigns across digital networks. A key methodological component involves building data pipelines capable of collecting, processing, and analyzing high-volume social media data. These pipelines support tasks such as large-scale content retrieval, feature extraction, clustering, and network analysis to map interactions between actors involved in digital warfare communication. The project uses Telegram, a hybrid messaging and social media platform, as its principal case study due to its central role in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Telegram provides a rich environment for studying information diffusion, network dynamics, and digital participation in conflict narratives. By integrating computational methods with interdisciplinary social research, WARSHARE demonstrates how AI-driven analytics can reveal the mechanisms through which digital platforms influence the perception, documentation, and strategic communication of modern warfare. We invite applications from eligible candidates as per the application process mentioned in the links below. The deadline is on 20th April 2026. For any queries, please email me at d.bhattacharya at ed.ac.uk or Prof. Andrew Hoskins, andrew.hoskins at ed.ac.uk. 1.

2025 Internet Society Annual report (summary)
by Joly MacFie 31 Mar '26

31 Mar '26

https://open.substack.com/pub/isoclive/p/2025-internet-society-annual-report <https://link.sbstck.com/redirect/c3def963-bc5f-40fb-b211-7648aa7e49c1?j=eyJ…> https://www.isocfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2025-Annual-Repor… <https://link.sbstck.com/redirect/e00ed58c-76c1-49b9-8932-61710ba1a69b?j=eyJ…> The Internet Society has released its 2025 Annual Report, covering the first year of its ambitious 2030 Strategy. The report documents significant progress on connectivity, online safety, Internet governance, and policy advocacy — all powered by a vast global community and its supporting philanthropic arm, the Internet Society Foundation. *Global Reach in 2025* - 150 countries and territories reached - 122 events hosted or co-hosted - 53,800 people trained - 55+ advocacy campaigns - 124 chapters, 156,880 individual members, 79 organization members, 491 alumni *Connectivity — Bridging the Digital Divide* With a quarter of the world still offline, ISOC continued to champion community-centered connectivity as the most viable path to reaching hard-to-reach populations. The Foundation granted $7,120,889 to connectivity initiatives in 87+ countries. Notable stories include the Gabaspot community network in Papua New Guinea, which grew from 50 households to 5,000 users since 2020, and a Foundation-funded project in rural Malawi where a voucher-based model cut data costs by over 90%, connecting 70+ schools across 63 communities and reaching over 70,000 people. ISOC also hosted 32 peering events and supported 20 Internet exchange points to lower costs and improve performance. Training was a major focus: 47,705 people received connectivity skills training, supported by 93 technical trainers and 125 tutors developed through a Train-the-Trainer model. *Online Safety — The Foundation’s Expanding Role* The Internet Society Foundation distributed $7,280,068 across 179 grants for safety and digital inclusion programs — one of the report’s clearest illustrations of the Foundation’s direct programmatic impact. Grantee partners developed localized safety training for newly connected communities, including women entrepreneurs in Colombia’s Cauca region who gained both digital skills and online security practices through a Foundation-supported program. The Mexico Chapter delivered tailored safety courses to older adults targeted by online scams. ISOC led a global co-creation process — involving 35 participants from 20 countries across 15 chapters and two special interest groups — to design a new Online Trust and Safety Hub, set to launch in 2026. The Common Good Cyber Fund was also launched in 2025 as a global initiative to strengthen cybersecurity for the public good. *Encryption Advocacy* - 14,479 participants in Global Encryption Day events - A coordinated campaign by the Global Encryption Coalition — of which ISOC is a founding member — successfully defeated a French anti-encryption bill that would have required companies to provide access to decrypted messages - ISOC also fought Canada’s Bill C-2, which threatened warrantless access to personal data; after ISOC’s open letter was cited in parliamentary debate, the government withdrew the bill and committed to a revised version *Internet Governance — A Landmark Year* After years of multistakeholder advocacy, UN Member States formally reaffirmed the multistakeholder model of Internet governance and gave the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) a permanent mandate. ISOC chapters, organization members, and staff played a central role. The Foundation invested $517,880 in global, regional, and national IGFs and Schools of Internet Governance in 2025, part of more than $2 million committed since 2020. *Data and Policy Advocacy* The Pulse platform — ISOC’s real-time Internet resilience and policy data resource — was cited 188 times in media, advocacy, and research in 2025, a 40%+ increase from 2024. It tracked: - 16,783 hours of intentional Internet shutdowns globally - An estimated $134 million in combined GDP impact from those shutdowns Chapters in seven African countries used Pulse data to advocate for full restoration of connectivity. In South Sudan, Pulse data helped make the case for the country’s first-ever IXP. *The Foundation’s Broader Role* Beyond its grantmaking, the Internet Society Foundation functions as the philanthropic engine of the ISOC ecosystem — mobilizing resources, cultivating future Internet leaders, and ensuring long-term financial sustainability. In 2025, the Foundation helped launch co-funding partnerships with governments (Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the UK) and Craig Newmark Philanthropies, with a combined target of directing more than $80 million by end of 2029 through the Community-Centered Connectivity Initiative, the Safer Internet Initiative, and the Common Good Cyber Fund. *Financials* - Total revenues: $66.2M (including $58M PIR contribution to ISOC) - Total expenses: $53.1M - Investment gains and other activities: $16.5M - Change in net assets: $29.6M - Largest expense categories: grantmaking (35%), general and management (25%), connectivity programs (12%), security (11%) *Looking Ahead to 2026* ISOC plans to accelerate community-centered connectivity, scale local technical training in underserved regions, launch the Online Trust and Safety Hub, and deepen advocacy on encryption, intermediary protections, and open standards. The co-funding model is central to delivering impact at scale on the road to 2030. -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -

Defending Researchers: My Declaration in CITR v. Rubio
by Dr. Emma Briant 30 Mar '26

30 Mar '26

Dear Colleagues, The Trump administration is using immigration law to punish and silence disinformation researchers, advocates, and trust-and-safety professionals on the basis of the misleading premise that by doing research and advocacy, they are ‘complicit’ in censorship. Four researchers have publicly been "barred" by the State Department, including several who had their visas revoked. But the policy is so vague it can potentially encompass researchers working on everything from fact-checking to researching propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, algorithms and social media as its potential targets. The government’s actions send a powerful chill through all of these researchers currently on visas in the United States, including me. By making an example of these four researchers, it has become clear that every researcher is under threat. We all get the message. This is why, as a member of Coalition for Independent Technology Research, I have added my own declaration next to those of threatened researchers in CITR v. Rubio. We hope this important case being fought by the Knight First Amendment Institute will protect the constitutional rights of visa-holders. The First Amendment exists precisely to prevent the government from punishing speech it dislikes. Right now the Trump Administration is stifling the ability to have an informed debate about online platforms, their responsibilities to their users and what role regulation should play. Read more about the case, or read my declaration and the others submitted here <https://knightcolumbia.org/cases/citr-v-rubio>.

International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026): Last Call for Research Papers
by Announce 30 Mar '26

30 Mar '26

*** Last Call for Research Papers *** International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026) 29 September - 2 October 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina Limassol, Cyprus https://conf.researchr.org/home/variability-2026 (*** Submission Deadline extended to 10 April 2026, AoE ***) The International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026) invites high-quality contributions from researchers and practitioners in software engineering, systems engineering, and related disciplines focussing on a broad spectrum of methods, concepts, and tools for variability. VARIABILITY aims to be the premier forum for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and results in all aspects of software and systems variability management, reuse, software configuration, and customization. As software and systems become increasingly configurable, reusable, and adaptable, managing their variability across all lifecycle phases is more critical—and more challenging —than ever. VARIABILITY 2026 seeks to bring together the diverse communities that address these challenges from theoretical, technical, and practical perspectives. VARIABILITY results from a merge of three prominent conferences focussing on software and systems variability, configuration and reuse: SPLC (the International Systems and Software Product Line Conference, 29 successful editions), VaMoS (the International Working Conference on Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems, 19 successful editions), and ICSR (the International Conference on Systems and Software Reuse, 22 successful editions). VARIABILITY is by design open as a conference. It welcomes new fields of variability- intensive research, such as artificial intelligence, hybrid software-hardware systems, etc. For this first edition of VARIABILITY, we strive to continue the success of the predecessor conferences ICSR, SPLC, and VaMoS by welcoming high-quality submissions for the research track in numerous closely related areas, such as systems and software product lines, systems and software reuse, configurable systems and software, product configuration, and systems and software variability. We will award the best research paper and the best artifact paper. Topics of Interest We invite contributions on variability management, reuse, and configuration across all phases of the software and systems lifecycle. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Requirements & Domain Engineering • Domain analysis and variability modeling • Decision modeling and support • Customization and personalization specification • Requirements variability and traceability Architecture & Design • Variability-aware software architectures • Architecture-centric product line engineering • Model-driven engineering (MDE) • Multi-product lines, program families, product lines of product lines, software ecosystems Implementation & Code Generation • Generative programming and code synthesis • Modularization techniques for reusable code • Programming languages and frameworks for variability • Open-source strategies for software reuse Testing, Verification & Quality Assurance • Testing and analysis of configurable systems • Safety and security in variable systems • Formal Methods for Software Product Lines • Non-functional properties: quality-aware analysis, quality-driven configuration • Reuse in testing, verification, and quality assurance Evolution, Maintenance & Operation • Refactoring and restructuring of configurable systems • Reverse engineering, variability mining, and refactoring • Runtime variability and dynamic (software) product lines • Maintenance strategies for large-scale reused systems • Variability in DevOps and CI/CD pipelines AI and Data-Driven Methods • Machine learning for variability management • AI-assisted product configuration • Data and repository mining from product lines and configuration histories • Recommendation systems for reuse and customization Publication of Proceedings Accepted papers will be published in the VARIABILITY 2026 proceedings by Springer in the LNCS series.

D Again, World University and School is seeking to accredit further: I received this helpful video from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education with offices in the greater Philadelphia Pennsylvania area on my smartphone the other day See too - Your Voice Making Public Comments that Matter in Federal Policy (February 24, 2026) https://youtu.be/nSwBGMpQRAA with Professor Matsudaira, formerly inaugural Chief Economist at the Department of Education ... and am writing further to follow up on how even to 'deploy the full federal toolkit' (and see the MacArthur Foundation Urban.org set of Tweets below, regarding this phrase) - '2. Deploy the full federal toolkit.' https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/three-principles-national-housing-affordab… ... to potentially begin to accredit free World University and School first for students in the USA (BUT also for students in the other 200 countries - just as students come from all over the world to go to MIT partly because of its accreditation with NECHE - building on CC-4 licensed (which says WUaS can 1) share, 2) adapt it, 3) but non-commercially). ... Thoughts, ideas, ways to proceed, Heather Perfetti, President of Middle States Commission on Higher Education in Philadelphia, and Professor Matsudaira, formerly Deputy Under Secretary and inaugural Chief Economist at U.S. Department of Education - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-matsudaira-0b440492/ - and Chief Economist of the Council of Economic Advisers? (WUaS sought accreditation initially with BPPE and WASC senior in California, as early as around 2012). AND could World University and School even begin to matriculate students at accrediting World University and School this autumn 2026? E Greetings from World University and School building on CC-4 licensed MIT OCW in 7 languages (https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/ & https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/ & https://ocw.mit.edu/) and Wikipedia / Wikidata in ~342 active languages. World University and School continues to plan online free to students' Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school / similar, AA/AS and Master's degrees, in each of all ~200 countries and in their main languages, and as WUaS proceeds with accreditation, and in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program too. F And to Revolutionize Education with Machine Learning and AI with World University In School And see again the incredible #ToolifyAIWUaS article by Peter Norvig, Google AI Director, re World University and School building on MIT OCW in 7 languages, and Wikidata as backend structured knowledge database re Wikipedia in about ~342 languages - Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI #WorldUniversityInSchool Updated on Mar 02,2024 https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learn… Per this #ToolifyAIWUaS article too, World University and School is developing a #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForSTEM - & think in #GoogleStreetView with #GTimeSliders, #GMaps, & #GeminiAI and at the #GCellView and #GMoleculeView levels - and as STEM field sites, and classrooms, for new kinds of digital university learning experiences ... G How best to further develop WUaS publishing from Google Street View with time slider, text in the sidebar, and in all 7159 living languages (and for the next Physical-Digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book project too)? Having taught at at least one university from a textbook, WUaS is also seeking to move beyond the textbook for our free online WUaS degrees as we accredit, - and, again, the 2nd wing of WUaS, the WUaS Corporation / Educational Services' Stores / Academic Press at WUaS in 7,159 living languages with ML and with human and machine translation, seeks to invent the book anew, publishing FROM Google Street View #TextInTheSidebar ...

WUaS (the WUaS Corporation) would eventually seek to produce pharmaceuticals too, besides doing randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForClinicalTrials (drawing sample populations from all 7.9 billion people on the planet), - and for aging reversal and extreme longevity genetic drug therapies emerging especially, FDA approved with time ... and in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForPharmaceuticals with a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics ... and with both Google's Isomorphic Labs (founded by Demis Hassabis) producing pharmaceuticals and Alphabet's Calico Labs too, working on developing these vaccines/drugs/pharmaceuticals too (and possibly other Google organizations). Eventually, and possibly as a first hire, WUaS would seek a possible Harvard MBA or similar to become the WUaS CEO, but WUaS has no money to speak of whatsoever - and as WUaS seeks to hire about 2.5 million people over the next 50-100 years in each of all 200 countries and among speakers of all 7159 living languages. How best also to develop the #WUaSMultimediaHospitalRoom prototype in the shop in a newly safe, vacant, with property deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon, CA 94516 in all of this?

I looked at your App briefly before your emails. World Univ & Sch in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, and in seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN # from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and to facilitate people to people free universal education with free WUaS degrees online from home - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school / sim AA / AS and Master's degrees in each of all 200 countries and in their main languages - and with wiki-teaching and wiki-learning for speakers of all 7159 known living languages in 200 countries, and to end poverty potentially, with a partnering email from Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - free money daily ... and by seeking to distribute it most people on the planet, and potentially the poorest 1 billion to end poverty, as the WUaS Corporation, our WUaS 2 wing, seeks also reimbursement from departments of education, and central banks for getting Mine Pi cryptocurrency from WUaS itself, possibly by multi-listing on most of all of ~ 200 countries' stock exchanges eventually. Are you in communication with Waymo, an Alphabet subsidiary? With your MBA degree I'd think you'd have some great ideas re WUaS with time. 2 B Just emailed a 2nd time regarding #GrowWithGoogleWUaS's Julie Wong Google Executive Engagement Lead, Research, Labs, Technology and Society, which you'll find here toward the bottom (and had BCC-ed Pin and Ed too with this) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/ypsilopus-zimbabweensis-orchid-g… - and suggested WUaS might be seeking a Harvard MBA or similar to develop the 2nd wing of WUaS, the WUaS corporation / the Press at WUaS in 7159 languages, the WUaS Educational Services' Stores - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - and as WUaS seeks also to develop pharmaceuticals / vaccines for aging reversal and extreme longevity FDA approved (and RCTs for these 10 years on average I've read), albeit WUaS has no money to speak of whatsoever; I haven't mentioned in these emails however World University and School being 8 limbs of Yoga-informed. Please keep WUaS in mind if you know of someone with a Harvard MBA or similar (since you went to Cornell for a BA in Finance, and Columbia for a MBA, I've read on your Linkedin). 2 C What are 10 great Indian novels inspired by Yoga, possibly comic, along the lines of Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard? Yoga in novels question - What are 10 great novels from India that are potentially inspired by Yoga Asana, 8 limbs of Yoga, Patanjali's Yoga, possibly comic, and along the lines of "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard" by Kieran Desai? https://g.co/gemini/share/6e13f65bb682 Finding novels that capture the specific blend of whimsical satire, spiritual absurdity, and the structured philosophy of Yoga found in Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard is a delightful challenge. While many Indian novels touch on spirituality, these ten selections specifically lean into the "limbs" of Yoga—from the physical discipline of Asana to the ethical constraints of Yama and Niyama—often through a lens of irony, comedy, or social critique. 1. The Guide by R.K. Narayan This is perhaps the closest spiritual cousin to Desai’s work. It follows Raju, a tour guide who, through a series of comic misunderstandings, is mistaken for a holy man. It explores the Niyamas (internal disciplines) and the unintended path to Samadhi (enlightenment) with a sharp, dry wit. ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/colchicum-luteum.html Agenda item 3 Karen Brennan - Start with Questions: The Classroom as Design Studio & "Start with Questions" Book Party at HGSE - AND to Apply to #WUaSMultimediaHospitalRoom in #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForAgingReversal #ForLongevity too?

What are the scientific studies that examine this ? https://gemini.google.com/share/1fc9b346dbdf The intersection of yoga, transcriptomics (gene expression), and longevity is a rapidly growing area of research. While ancient traditions view poses like Shoulder Stand ($Sālamba Sarvaṅgāsana$) and Bridge Pose ($Setu Bandha Sarvaṅgāsana$) as youth-preserving, modern science translates this into the downregulation of chronic inflammation and the stabilization of cellular aging markers. Here is a breakdown of how restorative yoga influences genetics and cellular biology, the limits of current research, and how it relates to modern longevity therapies. ------------------------------ 1. Yoga and Gene Expression: The Science Modern research does not usually isolate a *single* pose for genetic testing; instead, it studies *comprehensive yoga programs* (comprising asanas, pranayama/breathwork, and meditation). The scientific consensus is that yoga modulates the *Conserved Transcriptional Response to Adversity (CTRA)*—a genetic profile triggered by chronic stress that elevates pro-inflammatory genes and suppresses antiviral genes. Key Molecular Mechanisms Observed: - *Downregulation of NF-$\kappa$B:* Nuclear Factor kappa B is the "master switch" for inflammation. Yoga practice consistently downregulates NF- $\kappa$B, reducing the transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines like *IL-6* (Interleukin-6) and *TNF-$\alpha$* (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). - *Upregulation of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1):* Known as the "longevity gene," SIRT1 regulates epigenetic stability, DNA repair, and mitochondrial function. - *Telomere Maintenance:* Studies on Yoga and Meditation-Based Lifestyle Interventions (YMLI) show significant increases in *telomerase activity* (the enzyme that maintains the protective caps on your chromosomes) and reductions in oxidative DNA damage (measured by markers like 8-OH2dG). *Key Study Example:* A 12-week restorative Iyengar yoga intervention (which heavily utilizes supported bridge and inversions) was shown to reduce inflammation-related gene expression and NF-$\kappa$B signaling in fatigued breast cancer survivors (*Ey et al.; Bower et al.*). ------------------------------ 2. Physiological Effects of Shoulder Stand and Bridge Pose While we cannot say "Bridge Pose alone changes Gene X," we do know the specific physiological triggers these poses induce, which act as mechanical and systemic catalysts for cellular shifts: A. Baroreflex and Parasympathetic Activation Both poses place the neck in a flexion "throat lock" (*Jālandhara Bandha*). - *Mechanics:* This applies gentle pressure to the carotid sinus baroreceptors (pressure sensors in the neck). - *Molecular Consequence:* The brain interprets this as high blood pressure and triggers the *vagus nerve* to calm the nervous system. Vagus nerve stimulation is a potent inhibitor of systemic inflammation (known as the *cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway*). B. Fluid Shifts and Lymphatic Drainage Shoulder stand is a full inversion, and Bridge is a mild inversion. - *Mechanics:* Reversing the pull of gravity drives venous blood and lymphatic fluid from the lower extremities toward the thoracic cavity and heart. - *Molecular Consequence:* This reduces interstitial edema (swelling) and facilitates the clearing of metabolic waste and cellular debris. ------------------------------ 3. The Leap to Genetic Drug Therapies & Vaccines To be direct as a peer: *Yoga does not operate like a genetic vaccine or a molecular drug therapy.* It is vital to separate the holistic, systemic reset of yoga from targeted biotechnology. - *How Biotechnology Works (Drugs/Vaccines):* Extreme longevity drugs (like senolytics, rapalogs, or mRNA therapies) target highly specific, isolated pathways (like mTOR pathways, clearing senescent "zombie" cells, or Yamanaka factor epigenetic reprogramming) using precise chemical delivery. - *How Yoga Works (Systemic Reset):* Yoga alters gene expression *upstream* by altering your internal environment. By shifting the autonomic nervous system from sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic (rest-and-digest), you lower cortisol and oxidative stress. This "tells" the cells they are safe, which naturally shifts genetic expression toward repair rather than defense. Yoga is a lifestyle intervention that optimizes the biological terrain, while genetic vaccines are targeted microscopic interventions. They are complementary, but functional equivalents. ------------------------------ 4. Notable Scientific Literature If you are building your Realistic Virtual Earth or research databases, here are the foundational research verticals to review: *Research Focus* *Notable Findings & Mechanisms* *Key Scientific Pathways* *Systemic Reviews of Yoga Transcriptomics* Yoga leaves a "molecular signature," downregulating stress-induced inflammatory genes. NF-$\kappa$B, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$, SIRT1 *Telomerase & Cellular Aging* 12-week Yoga-Based Lifestyle Interventions (YBLI) improve telomerase activity and reduce oxidative stress. Telomerase, 8-OH2dG, TAC *Vagally-Mediated Anti-inflammatory Pathway* Postures affecting the carotid baroreceptors stimulate the vagus nerve to halt systemic cytokine production. Acetylcholine, Macrophages ------------------------------ Would you like me to generate a specific list of PubMed citations and titles regarding yoga transcriptomics and telomere biology for your research database? https://gemini.google.com/share/1fc9b346dbdf PPPPPS https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Angela%20and%20Victor%20yoga https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Yoga https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/brahma-kamal-saussurea-obvallata… Agenda item 9 Property deed for 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon CA 94516 in Contra Costa county questions Dear Konrad (Alt, attorney), Ed (Smyth MD), Grant (Fine, attorney), (US senator and former Harvard Law professor Elizabeth Warren), all, https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/memecylon-grande.html * * * * WUaS Corporation 2nd of 2 WUaS wings - for profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California - WUaS Corporation - WUaS Press WUaS Corporation / Academic Press in 7159 languages with machine learning <https://www.blogger.com/u/1/blog/post/edit/1743292322190533933/778187890656…> http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html <https://www.blogger.com/u/1/blog/post/edit/1743292322190533933/778187890656…> Agenda item A Regarding - Walmart's India Presence and Subsidiaries https://gemini.google.com/share/95058c1edade * And - Walmart Celebrates More Than 20 Years in India With Showcase of Innovation, Growth and Partnerships https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2025/06/24/walmart-celebrates-more-than-… And - Does Walmart have any retail stores in India & if so how many?
