Lilac-breasted Roller: Edifying and biological processes-focused, anthropological talk at Stanford on Monday - "Ecological influences on risk for sexually transmitted disease in a semi-nomadic population in Namibia," new, beginning, Namibia World University and School, wiki page and beginning university, - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Namibia - with a few MIT OCW courses


Dear Ashley (and Jamie),

Thanks for an edifying and biological processes-focused, anthropological talk at Stanford on Monday - "Ecological influences on risk for sexually transmitted disease in a semi-nomadic population in Namibia" - http://www.stanford.edu/dept/anthropology/cgi-bin/web/?q=node/1571 (see, also - http://www.stanford.edu/dept/anthropology/cgi-bin/web/?q=node/1441).

Here's the new, beginning, Namibia World University and School, wiki page, and beginning university - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Namibia - with a few MIT OCW courses, some loosely related to your talk.

WUaS is planning for each Nation State to become an online, accredited, MIT OCW-centric university, and in main languages in that country, - see for example MIT OCW's beginning, translated courses in 8 languages - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - as well as to become wiki schools for people-to-people teaching and learning in ALL of the languages in a country; Wikipedia, by way of comparison, is in 287 languages, (and we all wrote it as a wiki).

And relating to your talk, you'll find MIT OCW-centric, WUaS, wiki subjects for
'Statistics' (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Statistics),
'Sexuality' (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Sexuality),
'Experimentation' (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Experimentation),
'Ecology' (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Ecology) and many, Science subjects at WUaS here at the main
Subjects' page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects - and here in the main
Science links - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Science#World_University_and_School_Links.


(And here's the WUaS One Laptop per Child - XO Laptop, wiki, subject page -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/One_Laptop_per_Child_-_XO_Laptop_-_$100_Laptop_-_MIT. This is one not so recent web site I found when I searched for OLPC Namibia - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPCorps_HarvardMIT_Namibia.

And here is the current main Africa, wiki, subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Africa#World_University_and_School_Links - where again each country and many languages will become MIT OCW-centric, online universities.

WUaS would like also to develop and focus pan-African research projects, and perhaps, as an example, by extending the research in your talk into research approaches for all of Africa via WUaS as a startup, MIT OCW-centric, online, research university via its main, beginning Research wiki page -  http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Research.

While a very, very large project, WUaS also plans to become the Harvard / MIT of the Internet and in all languages and countries, eventually hiring faculty and researchers.

Let's communicate further about this Namibian WUaS, as well as WUaS universities and schools in Africa, both accredited and as wiki schools for people-to-people, open teaching and learning, and especially research projects which might benefit from an online, MIT OCW-centric, all African countries and languages approach.

Best wishes and thanks again for a fascinating talk and sharing your research,
Scott
