QUOTE
Dr. Mercer is one of the few scholars considering the religious implications of radical life extension, a term that refers to science and technology that could provide extreme (perhaps indefinite) longevity of healthy human life.

This Sunday Night Chat will once again be streamed live and recorded on Ustream. The Immortality Institute stream can be found here. There is a text chat box available at the Imminst Ustream channel so you can ask questions and debate religion's place in extreme life extension while the chat is occurring.

Immortality Institute Chat: Sunday Night Chat with Todd Huffman, 5:00 pm CST, Neuroscience, life extension, and of course...magnets

Date and Time: Sunday, February 10, 2008 at 4:00pm MST

Location: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/immortality-update

Description:

Join the Immortality Institute for a very special Sunday Night Chat February 10th with neuroscientist and life extension supporter Todd Huffman.

Mr. Huffman became famous for implanting a magnet in his finger to create a sixth sense. Find out his current take on transhumanism, cryonics and life extension.

5:00pm Central, 23:00 GMT

This Sunday Night Chat will be extra special because it will be streamed live on Ustream. The Immortality Institute stream can be found here. There won't be anything broadcasting most of the time (maybe my cats while I am testing it out). We are just going to start out streaming the Sunday Night Chat. I will record the stream so that it can be listened to at any later date on Ustream. I will also record an mp3 for podcast and make it available as a download from Itunes or other services. Besides the special guest, there will also be an Imminst update and some of the latest news from the world of anti-aging science. Even though this first stream will be audio only (like a radio program), there will still be an opportunity for interaction. Each Ustream broadcast has a chatbox. I will be monitoring the chatbox for questions and comments while I am interviewing the guest.

If this goes well then perhaps the Institute can fill the Ustream channel with more content during more times of the week and include video as well as audio. See you there on Sunday night! It will be good.

Immortality Institute Chat: Imminst Member Mondey

Date and Time: Sunday, February 03, 2008 from 2:30pm until 3:30pm MST

Location: Skype Chat - email chat organizer to be added to chat list

Description:

Chat guest: Imminst member Mondey. One of the world's leading anti-aging and stem cell researchers.

What's the latest in stem cell technology?
What are the remaining hurdles before we see widespread use of stem cell therapy?
How soon before stem cell therapy reaches a hospital near you?
What about the embryonic stem cell debate?
Much more.

Again, like last week, this will be a Skype text chat since it is much more stable. Please send me your Skype name so I can invite you into the chat on Sunday afternoon.

If you cannot attend but have a burning question about stem cell technology, please list it here.

Special Note: Due to the high profile nature of the research Institutions Mondey is affiliated with, he/she has requested that only the nickname "Mondey" be used during the chat and within this thread. Please respect this request. Many Imminst members are familiar with Mondey so if you are curious, just ask privately.

Immortality Institute Chat: Dr. Geordie Rose of D-Wave Systems

Date and Time: Sunday, January 27, 2008 from 4:00pm until 6:00pm MST

Location: Skype Chat - email chat organizer to be added to chat list

Description:

The Immortality Institute will welcome Dr. Geordie Rose of D-Wave Systems this Sunday January 27th. Time has yet to be decided. Dr. Rose is famous for founding D-Wave systems and producing the world's first commercial quantum computer, although many in the physics community are still skeptical. In a press release last year, D-Wave systems said it would have a 1,024 bit quantum computer functioning by the end this year. In this Sunday's exclusive Immortality Institute chat, find out if D-Wave is still on pace to deliver. Also, find out how quantum computing might assist with aging research.

Since guests have had trouble logging into the IRC chat room recently, I would prefer to use Skype text chat for this Sunday night's chat. In order to accomplish this I will need to know everyone's Skype name (who plans on attending) in order to add you to the conference text chat when it begins. You can list you skype name in this thread, or send me a PM. I will add you to my contacts list.

...[T]he time for the Sunday evening chat has been set at 5:00pm CST (23:00 GMT). This will be a Skype chat (for reasons listed above). I have a lot of regular chat attendees in my Skype contact list, however if you would like to be added to the chat, you will need to let me know your Skype name.
