Service auction of seized bitcoins from the Silk Road website.

In April 2015, a reality program called Startup U featured Draper University's seven-week program in a 10-episode series.

board for In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital firm.

Columbia Earth Institute.

Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is located at Columbia University in New York City.

The George C. Marshall institute was founded in 1984 by Frederick Seitz (former President of the Image
United States National Academy of Sciences), Robert Jastrow(founder of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies), and William Nierenberg (former director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography). The institute's primary aim, initially, was to play a role in defense policy
debates, defending Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI, or "Star Wars"). In particular, it sought to defend SDI "from attack by the Union of Concerned Scientists, and in particular by the equally prominent physicists Hans Bethe, Richard Garwin, and astronomer
Carl Sagan."

In 2012, the institute took over the responsibility for running the Missilethreat.com website from the Claremont Institute. Missilethreat.com aims to inform the American people of missile threats, thereby
encouraging the deployment of a ballistic missile defense system. Since the closure of the institute, the website has been maintained by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

The chairman of the CSIS board of trustees is Missilethreat.com
Thomas Pritzker, who is also chairman and chief executive officer of The Pritzker Organization.

Pritzker was named in a deposition filed under oath by Virginia Giuffre related to her being sexually trafficked through the Jeffrey Epstein network. She testified in the deposition Image
Image
Image
that she once was sexually abused by Pritzker.

Giuffre used imagery of a blue Morpho butterfly to symbolize the transformation.

support for the establishment in Palestine of "a national home for the Jewish people". The letter became known as the Balfour Declaration.

His title was inherited by his nephew (Nathaniel Mayer) Victor Rothschild.

Victor Rothschild joined the Cambridge Apostles, where he became Image
friends with Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt and Kim Philby, members of the Cambridge Spy Ring.

His sister Miriam Louisa Rothschild was recruited to work at Bletchley Park on codebreaking with Alan Turing.

The first personnel of the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) moved Image
to Bletchley Park on 15 August 1939.

Louis Bastien (Esperantist) - Wikipedia

In the belief that this fever (now known as malaria) was waterborne, soldiers were ordered to drink only boiled water.

It was not till three years later that Sir Ronald Ross conclusively determined that the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Bas…
cause of malaria is a parasite transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito.

In 2016, a CRISPR-Cas9 gene drive system was proposed to eradicate Anopheles gambiae, by deleting the dsx gene, causing female sterility.

Doublesex (dsx) is a gene that is involved in the sex determination
system of many insects including the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
