Subject: October 2010 Cryonics Symposium in Germany

  In the first week of October I was an invited speaker
at the ?Applied Cryobiology ? Scientific Symposium on Cryonics?
held in Goslar, Germany. My write-up of the event appeared
not long after that on Aschwin de Wolf's blog "Depressed Metabolism":

Now videos of my presentation are available on YouTube.
YouTube has a restriction on length, so the presentation
is necessarily broken into five segments:

My laser pointer worked well during my presentation,
but does not show-up well on the videos, which makes
it a little less clear what I am referring to during
my talk.

I am hopeful that these videos can help to educate
people -- especially including cryonicists -- about
cryonics technology. There is much written
cryonics/cryobiology technical information on my website

http://www.benbest.com/cryonics/cryonics.html

but some people learn better from lectures and
videos of lectures.

As a cautionary note I must warn that my analysis
of the Circle of Willis and carotid perfusion was
a preliminary conclusion which subsequent discussions
with scientific advisers have shown to be based
on incomplete information. I plan to write a more
thorough explanation of the subject for the
January/February 2011 issue of LONG LIFE magazine.

There are a number of erroneous statements that
I made that are mainly attributable to me fumbling
my words. For example I make it sound as though
administering CPR always works if done within
a minute or so after cardiac arrest. I know better
than this, and I cannot explain why I cannot
explain myself better at times.
