Cornell University

Uh, y- you have the, you know, I'll let you tell the story, 58 and a half percent of Neanderthal, 41 and a half percent of human, uh, was what you've, you've said.

But Cornell University has denied this, and you said, and you've threatened to s- sue Cornell University over for $10 million.

Yeah.

What's the story with Cornell University and the DNA testing?

Yeah, so, you know, it, essentially having anything tied to B- anything Bigfoot is, is pretty much a, a, a taboo for any, uh, university, especially an Ivy League one.

Um, and the way that, um, the way that they portray this is that they had n- no tests done on this Bigfoot body, and I never brought, um, the Bigfoot body in there, [laughs] number one.

I didn't know what to test it against.

Like, it, there's a lot that goes into trying to figure this out.

There's one ISO method that's not particularly used.

There's a couple of universities, I think University of Wisconsin and Cornell, that have developed methods, but it's not well known throughout infant formula.

And to say that this is the first time it's ever contaminated infant formula with all of those variables just sort of makes it difficult to believe.

So this is one of these things that that the outbreak sort of uncovered a lot of liabilities and a lot of issues, but it doesn't mean that they were never there.

Here is what's actually happening in our heads.

And this is proven by Vanessa Bond from Cornell and Frank Flynn from Stanford.

They had decades of research that proves that our ability to predict what somebody is going to answer, what their response is going to be, is a lot worse than we believe it is.

So we're wrong.

I applied to one place for an academic interest, which was to be more a career interest, to be a newscaster.

And I applied to Cornell's Agriculture and Life Sciences School, where their communications program was.

So that was the only one I did based on that.

And then I applied to Stanford, because that's what you do when you go to Palo Alto High School.

I did not get into Stanford.

I got waitlisted at Wesleyan.

And then I got into Swarthmore, UCLA and Cornell and decided that when I got the brochure, And the letter from Swarthmore admitting me, I thought, oh, I should take a look at this.

And I really, I loved it.

And it would not only deliver more realism and soft shadows, and it would also give the artist more time to focus on the model and complex scenes.

Um, this movie had a lot of research, which included visits to many institutions in the U S including Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, and Berkeley.

They observed the college architecture, the student life, the Greek life, and the teaching methods of professors and faculty.

Uh, the producers also spent several weeks at a frat house, which I'm like, imagine you're the fraternity kids.

Some people might not.

And finally, there's the approach making headlines out of Cornell University.

And this one is getting right into the genetic business of making sperm.

So the work that's going on at Cornell is to try and make inhibitors of an enzyme called soluble adenylate cyclase.

On the first and the last of Peary's expeditions success was marred by tragedy.

On the last expedition Professor Ross G. Marvin of Cornell University lost his life by being drowned in the Arctic Ocean, on his return from his farthest north, a farther north than had ever been made by any other explorers except the members of the last expedition.

Both Verhof and Marvin were good friends of mine, and I respect and venerate their memories.

naturally the impressions formed on my first visit to the land of ice and snow were the most lasting but in the coming years i was to learn more and more that such a life was no picnic and to realize what primitive life meant i was to live with a people who the scientists stated represented the earliest form of human life living in what is known as the Stone Age, and I was to revert to that stage of life by leaps and bounds, and to emerge from it by the same sudden means.

Or to tell stories out in the world, as you can tell from listening to these recordings.

Some of them, you know, I did one by a waterfall over near Cornell University, near where I live.

I did one walking on the road.

You can hear the highway.

I think the even better metaphor is the small history lesson that I'm about to give you.

So from the early days of the internet, November 2nd, 1988, a Cornell graduate student named Robert Tappan.

Robert Tappan Morris, I should say.

Robert T. Morris, what a great name.
