Friday, March 27, 2020 "Coronavirus Topics"

Topic:
As a suggestion, seeing we're a technical/science group, sharing information regarding coronaviruses and protective measures. I have been examining filaments for 3D printing to, for example, print N95 masks using PLActive which is an antiviral, fungi, and antibacterial nanotech product, and the use of uv to disinfect surfaces. Perhaps others are better equipped at understanding or can throw light on the effectiveness of such methods, and know of studies regarding transmission and effective lifetimes of these kinds of viruses. I can share what I have found out, and some technical papers. Also, seen some real scamming stuff which worries me. I am sure there are some among us who have more knowledge than myself and would like to hear if they can contribute.

Friday, March 13, 2020 "5G Health Effects"

Friday, March 13, 2020 "5G Health Effects"

Presentation by Dr. Joseph Nazzaro, Ph.D.
Two years ago after being diagnosed with atrial a-fibrillation, Mr. Nazzaro decided to try to find out how this happened as he had absolutely no family history of it. This led him directly to cell phone and radio wave safety. A brand new wireless technology which is to be installed in Winchester called 5G which is quite different than anything which preceded it in form and function. This technology will be described as well as the benefits it is meant to bring to our community and nation. Discussion will turn to the epidemiological health impact of electrical and radio wave technology culminating in 2G, 3G, 4G and now 5G. The conclusion will Review the pros and cons of this technology compared to our existing hard wired technology. There will be a final word on the safer prospective technology which will supplant 5G when 5G is maxed out within 10 years. Left open will be the critical ethical, political, social, and economic implications of 5G which are more threatening than any technology in history. 5G is humanity’s technology tipping point.

Background
Mr. Nazzaro has a PhD. in Psychology from the University of Wales, Cardiff, Institute of Science and Technology. He worked as a psychologist for several years with physically and mentally handicapped adults and children in Massachusetts. I then started and operated an import, manufacturing, marketing and international distribution business making shelving hardware. He sold NewTech Hardware and then started a small residential construction company. Mr. Nazzaro has been active in social justice issues and politics all his life. He leads FACE (Woburn’s For A Clean Environment) during the Harvard Health Study.

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn

Name of Book or Resource (Website)	The Structure of Scientific Revolutions:
Book Author(s)	Thomas S. Kuhn
Why Is This Interesting?	A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were—and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book. When it was first published in 1962, it was a landmark event in the history and philosophy of science. Fifty years later, it still has many lessons to teach. With The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Kuhn challenged long-standing linear notions of scientific progress, arguing that transformative ideas don’t arise from the day-to-day, gradual process of experimentation and data accumulation but that the revolutions in science, those breakthrough moments that disrupt accepted thinking and offer unanticipated ideas, occur outside of “normal science,” as he called it. Though Kuhn was writing when physics ruled the sciences, his ideas on how scientific revolutions bring order to the anomalies that amass over time in research experiments are still instructive in our biotech age.
