French President Macron launches tech visa to make France a ‘country of unicorns’
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in category: government
France launched a technology visa on Thursday which aims to attract international talent, with newly-elected President Emmanuel Macron talking about the need to strip out regulation to become a “country of unicorns”.
Speaking at the Viva Tech conference in Paris, France, Macron outlined how his government would slash complex regulation, make it easier for foreign talent to work, and support start-ups with money, in order to create world-leading companies.
The visa is open to start-up founders, employees and investors and is a fast-track procedure to obtain a residence permit in France known as the “Talent Passport”. It’s valid for four years and extended to immediate family members.

Posted by Brett Gallie II in category: space
Sat 17 June…NASA rocket to blast colored clouds into space…similar to our 2017 SpaceApps Groups Idea : https://2017.spaceappschallenge.org/challenges/warning-dange…er/project
- NASA is launching a rocket that will create colorful clouds in space.
- The rocket launch and clouds may be visible as far away as New York City.
- Such clouds will eventually be used to probe two big holes in Earth’s magnetic shield, called cusps.
- The launch will be live-streamed by NASA Wallops Flight Facility.
NASA is about to launch a rocket that will puff out highly visible clouds of red and blue-green vapor into space.
The rocket was supposed to launch on May 31, but bad weather and poor visibility pushed the mission back to Saturday, June 17, with a liftoff time between 9:05 p.m. and 9:20 p.m. EDT.

Posted by Steve Hill in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
On the 9th of June we teamed up with the Major Mouse Testing Program (MMTP) for a live stream longevity panel on the MMTP Facebook page. The panel included Dr. Alexandra Stolzing, Dr. Aubrey de Grey, Dr. Oliver Medvedik, MMTP coordinators Steve Hill and Elena Milova, Lifespan.io President Keith Comito, and one of the most active contributors Alen Akhabaev. The event was one of the rewards from the MMTP campaign launched on Lifespan.io last year.
During the first section the panelists discuss the science and progress in the field, touching upon senescent cell therapy with senolytics, its progress and limitations, stem cells therapies and other promising interventions to slow down and potentially reverse age-related damage to health.
