I got how to produce pir and some other racetams, but Pir's the better if them and it's inexpensive enough to make synthesizing it a waste of resources.

I'm crazy for the DIY way. So interesting, usually a millionth of the end cost, so empowering, so independent, so MacGuyver. And useful after TEOTWAWKI.

Need desperately to cram stuff fast and learn things I just don't really love to move on with medschool - which I do love.

We have done this in the past, with limited success.

If I had to pinpoint the reasons for lack of success, I would say it had to do with:

1. Lack of time/commitment. A presence on any social media platform requires regular "upkeep". Some platforms thrive on quantity of content, others on quality. Whatever the case, it works best if there is a point person, who can manage the pages on a regular basis.

2. Lack of expertise with the platforms. Different platforms thrive on different forms of content. In the past, we mainly just posted updates/links/simple text on alternative platforms.

3. Not keeping track of metrics and traffic driven to LongeCity.org.

#3 is the ultimate goal. We want to drive engagement and traffic to the LongeCity website. Here is where we can manage the organization most effectively. Here is where we have more control over content/image/projects. We don't want to allow LongeCity's best engagement/discussions to shift to a different platform. Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube have recently been aggressively censoring content for seemingly arbitrary reasons. As an example, Google is already demonetizing some LongeCity discussions revolving around sexual health. LongeCity is a community of mostly open-thinkers who are not afraid to discuss alternative viewpoints. 

The well-known platforms are obvious places to attempt more engagement because of their large user-bases, but they do have the most strict rules and arbitrary/confusing rule enforcement at times. I would not want to neglect other emerging platforms. It might be easier to gain attention on emerging platforms because there is less competition.

Grant money has been allocated to provide free testing to LongeCity members. There is enough funding to test everyone who participated last year, or even more, depending upon what tests are purchased.

myDNAge has agreed to provide a discount of their DNA methylation test for LongeCity members participating in the project in 2019.

It is unclear whether or not the other two testing providers from last year will offer discounts again this year (Teloyears, Osiris Green).

If anyone has a suggestion as to a low-cost biomarker test we could add this year, please comment in this thread. Low cost would be less than $300.

_________________________________________________________

At a minimum, we will continue the project in the same manner as last year because there is great value in measuring the same cohort for several years. However, we are always looking to improve. Last year, participants posted their rejuvenation efforts and test results in the LongeCity forum. This open reporting (in the member area) is a key aspect of the project. Sharing data is helpful to the community at large. However, a more structured database of the project data would be ideal. There has been some discussion about creating a user friendly data entry and storage platform. If anyone has an idea in this regard, please comment here. Using free software would be ideal, but there is grant money available to create something specific for this project.

I also see that I started a thread in the wrong place:

https://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/104114-elastin-promotion-protocol/#entry869498

I apparently should not have put that thread in the PetScience etc. group. Is there a way to move it to a proper location?
