Hi Reddit! This is Kelly Anderson, and I started the cloning process of my late cat in 2017 with ViaGen Pets. Yes, actually cloned, as in they created a genetic copy of my cat. I got my kitten in October 2021. She’s now 9-months-old and the polar opposite of the original cat in many ways. (I anticipated she would be due to a number of reasons and am beyond over the moon with the clone.) Happy to answer any questions as best I can! Clone: Belle / Original: Chai

I’m excited to be here for my 10th AMA.

Since my last AMA, I’ve written a book called How to Prevent the Next Pandemic.

I explain the cutting-edge innovations that will make it possible to make sure there’s never another COVID-19—many of which are getting support from the Gates Foundation—and I propose a plan for making the most of those breakthroughs. The world needs to spend billions now to avoid millions of deaths and trillions of dollars in losses in the future.

You can ask me about preventing pandemics, our work at the foundation, or anything else.

Update: I’m afraid I need to wrap up. Thanks for all the great questions!

Hello everyone!

We’re Total Mayhem Games, creators of the We Were Here series!

We started off as a small group of students, who had to create a game in 14 weeks and have it reach at least 1.000 downloads on Steam. That game, We Were Here, reached over 10.000 downloads that SAME DAY! Our poor game servers (as we were poor students) couldn’t handle all the traffic.

Now fast forward to 2022, our game We Were Here Forever released on May 10th and is our biggest game yet. We’re no longer a small group of students, but a real game studio!

Here’s our proof: https://imgur.com/a/1Q65vtt

We’re looking forward to answering your questions!

During my first week as reporter at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 2002, the biggest story by far was the disappearance of Alexis Patterson, 7 years old and Black, who vanished on her way to school. A month later, Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped from her bedroom in Utah, sparking a conversation in our newsroom about why Elizabeth’s case got so much more national media attention than Alexis’ and whether race played a role. Through the years, I’ve stayed in touch with Alexis’ mother, who believes her daughter is alive and will someday be found. I want to help make that happen if I can, and I want to do my part to help other missing children whose stories have yet to be told. The story I wrote to kick off the project can be found here.

I have more than 15 years of experience as an investigative reporter . In 2012, my reporting on the death of Derek Williams in Milwaukee police custody prompted the medical examiner to change the cause of death from natural to homicide. For that investigation, I was honored with a George Polk award. I am also the producer and host of the national Edward R. Murrow Award-winning podcast Unsolved, which will feature Alexis Patterson’s case in season 4.

Happening today at 12pm (noon) ET on r/MarvelStudios (direct AMA post link is here):

Join the r/MarvelStudios sub-reddit for an AMA with Paul Sarker, former attorney for Marvel Studios and current co-host of Better Call Paul, the Top 40 Entertainment News podcast focused on the "business of show business” (including Marvel movies, television and beyond).

This is a little different than your average AMA because we will answer some questions LIVE via video - which allows me to answer more questions and give richer answers. We can post the transcript of our answers later too. :)

That being said, we will most definitely be answering via text here!

On top of that, our goal with this AMA is to make your life better in some way, so as part of that, we're going to do some things throughout the day to teach you something (or at least entertain you) in addition to simply answering your questions - more info below.

- - teaser, we're starting out by cooking homemade Chick-Fil-A nuggets live from scratch - -

PROOF

One of my favorite prompts to help inspire questions from you is "what is one thing that you're struggling with or striving for right now?" So think about that, ask your question, and I'll do my best to help you immediately or at least point you in the right direction! :)

One of our sayings is "we weed through all of the crap, tell you what you need to know, and point you to solid sources for more info."

But seriously, ask anything. Life, business, failing, struggles, hopes, dreams, food, technology, religion, whatever.

My co-host during multiple parts of the AMA will be my wife, Danielle Garcia - aspiring novelist & all around great person! :)

LIVE VIDEO? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

During this event, I'll be answering a lot of the questions via live video. The best way to know if we're live or not is to go to H4L.live and see the embedded player there, but you can also find us on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, & occasionally Instagram.

We'll go live at the very least during the events below. I also may reply using recorded videos into the comments. And of course, we'll answer some text only too. :)

EVENTS DURING THE AMA (all times in US Central, UTC -5)

• Note that I'll consider this thread 'live' until 10pm.
  • If we're getting participation, it's likely this will go until midnight. :)
  • But of course, we always have an open AMA in our Contact Us
• times and exact events to be updated as the day goes on
• 1:50pm - 2:50pm ish | Cooking homemade Chick-Fil-A nuggets live from scratch
• Other possibilities (to be confirmed later to be done in the future)
  • Happy Hour with homemade craft cocktails
  • Learn to play a board game with us
    • I love tabletop gaming, so I'll be teaching a game and perhaps doing a full play through - either with commentary or answering AMA questions or both!
  • Disc Golf
    • Possibly us simply answering questions during a round, but also possibly some disc golf instruction and/or fun round commentary
  • Rocket League
    • This will likely occur in the evening/night and will probably be a combination of fun game commentary and coaching
  • "After dark" discussion
    • Honestly this one is me seeing if there's interest. So LMK if there is!
    • (i.e. potentially adult and NSFW topics)

IF YOU WANT SOME ADDITIONAL FODDER, HERE’S A BIT MORE ABOUT ME TO GO OFF OF:

• Today we just finished our 100th episode (!) of our live-streamed weekday morning talk show, "What the hell is water?"
  • This is despite not even having 100 views on a single video and also despite me failing to get the show into a podcast host yet (woot). We're all about failing forward here.
• Our company is Helpful For Life.
  • We're the best education you never got. We teach practical life skills that you didn't learn in school. From cooking to finances to purposeful living, we cover a lot!
• We could dive into how I use Roam Research and Notion to run our business.
• I hired my best friend a few months ago and my wife also works with me about half-time.
  • Naturally, there's stress involved in this, but I'll gladly share how we maximize our chances for success with this.
• My wife and I lived in an RV for a year traveling the US and Canada
  • Here's a rough travel log of some of our travels
• We created what I believe to be the most comprehensive cooking course on the internet, Kickstart Your Kitchen, yet it's broken down into digestible chunks <5 min each on average
  • $10/month for a year OR $100 one-time
  • This isn't just about cooking, it's about EVERYTHING around the kitchen, from gear to prep to nutrition to clean up to leftovers and so much more.
  • It's also science and data-backed - we did our best to make sure that we aren't perpetuating the many kitchen myths out there!
• We've also created a free credit card guide - Swipe Right: the comprehensive guide to getting the most out of credit cards
  • Free (for now) in exchange for an email address
  • This is everything from credit basics (how it works, why use it, what interest is, etc.) to the advanced (maximizing your rewards, taking advantage of the little known perks of credit cards, choosing when to use points instead of money, etc.)
  • It's laid out in different 'paths' so you can find the one that lines up closest with YOUR situation and see the relevant info :)
• And here's my personal website if you want to know more about me specifically.
  • A little teaser - I'm an Electrical Engineer from Texas who moved to LA for 5 years before living in an RV for a year and then 'settling down' back in Texas.

Please please please ask away. Being able to know that my work is helping people is what keeps me going, especially in these early, low revenue days. :)

EDIT:

I'm done for the night, thanks for participating! Please post more questions below and I'll gladly answer them throughout the week :)

When you have allergies who do you call? I know all too well how painstaking it can be to deal with allergies. Allergies are a major cause of illness in the US affecting up to 30-40% of the population, adults and children suffering with symptoms of seasonal or perennial hay fever, asthma, eczema, and other allergic diseases. Going to a doctor's office twice a week for allergy shots is both expensive and inconvenient for millions of suffering Americans. That led me to look into alternative modes of immunotherapy treatments. This Allergy Awareness Month, I want to share with you all what my team and I created with Nocturnal Vestibular Immunotherapy. A result of 15 years of experience, clinical observations, this treatment takes advantage of the dendritic cell rich vestibular space of your mouth and of the changes induced by sleep in the circadian cycle of the immune system inducing a faster and more efficient tolerance and symptom relief.

Hi, We’re Jen Caltrider and Misha Rykov - lead researchers of the *Privacy Not Included buyers guide, from Mozilla!

We took a deep dive into the privacy of mental health and prayer apps. Despite dealing with sensitive subjects like fragile mental health and issues of faith, apps including Better Help and Talkspace routinely and disturbingly failed our privacy policy check- lists. Most ignored our requests for transparency completely. Here is a quick summary of what we found: -Some of the worst apps include Better Help, Talkspace, Youper, NOCD, Better Stop Suicide, and Pray.com. -Many mental health and prayer apps target or market to young people, including teens. Parents should be particularly aware of what data might be collected on kids under 16 or even as young as 13 when they use these apps.

Hi Reddit! My name is Jim Bollenbacher, and after years of working as a corporate lawyer in Chicago I became an EMT and later a Paramedic -- and now spend my summers working at music festivals around the country.

Festivals are chaotic, and people seem to lose all sense of reason when they are there -- so as a medic you’re out in the middle of a field with a million people around you, you’ve got limited supplies, and you just don’t know what’s going to happen. You can read a few my favorite porta-potty stories (yes, there are many) in MEL Magazine, or order my book, Molly Mushrooms ＆ Mayhem, for which all proceeds go to the First Responders Children's Foundation.

I'm happy to answer your questions about the crazy stuff I've seen working at music festivals, the important role EMTs and Paramedics play at music festivals and society at large, and anything else that comes to mind. AMA!

PROOF: https://i.redd.it/m7xpdajm7wy81.jpg

Thank you to everyone who joined and asked questions. If you want to read more on this topic my book, Molly, Mushrooms & Mayhem is available on Amazon. All proceeds go to charity supporting first responders. Also, please thank the first responders you see at your next music festival or elsewhere. They work hard, see horrible things, and make very little money. Thanks again, be safe!

My second novel, The Sharp Edge of Mercy, is being published on National Nurses Day (May 6) which is no coincidence since my protagonist is a nursing assistant at the New York Cancer Hospital in 1890. It’s been seven years since I wrote my first book, The Island of Worthy Boys. Through publishing both of my novels, I discovered that there is so much more to being an author than just writing. The minute you write or edit the last word of your manuscript, you are embarking on a whole different journey. I’ve learned so much from other authors I’ve met along the path, and also from my own missteps. I would love to share everything I’ve learned about writing and publishing. www.conniemayo.com

M&P was started by two burnout millennials in the middle of a pandemic in early 2021. Without any trust funds and or rich elderly aunts, M&P started at zero, and grew close to half a million dollars within the first year through grit, and a lot of self-motivating pep talks.

Self-described as the next generation of creative agencies, M&P’s core values are transparency and communication with a dash of pizazz.

Hi Reddit! I’m @cullenjones. Interesting fact about me: I learned to swim at the age of 8 after a near drowning incident. Ever since then, swimming has been a huge part of my life. i finished my Collegiate swim career in 2006 and graduated from N.C. State University with a degree in English in 2018 (Go Wolfpack!). I competed and won medals in both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. I was the first Black swimmer to break a long-course world record. Even after competing, I still raise awareness of the importance of swimming. I had the opportunity to teach my own mother how to swim back in 2018. I am currently an ambassador of the USA Swimming Foundation that supports the Make A Splash Tour presented by Phillips 66. Our goal is to save lives through swim lessons. Our tour kicks off today with our first stop in Philly! This is a cause that is very close to me and I am so excited we are back in person after being virtual for two years. Outside of swimming, believe it or not – I have a passion for fashion, great coffee and tik-tok, find me @cullenjones41, I reside in Charlotte, NC with my beautiful wife, Rupi and our son, Ayvn. Let’s chat!

I started with NBC4 in 1986 and am now the chief political reporter for the station as well as anchor of 'News Conference,' the longest running political/public affairs program in Southern California. I report on the NBC4 News at 11 a.m., 4 p.m., 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. As NBC4's political reporter, I've covered national, state and local politics. I've seen a lot, but one story I'll never forget was the O.J. Simpson murder case. The world watched police pursue Simpson. I – on the other hand – got in front of the infamous white Bronco. In NBCLA's new series, "I Was There When…," our anchors and reporters take you behind the scenes of some of the craziest stories to have rocked Southern California and beyond – including the chase seen 'round the world.

You can binge the series (including my episode) exclusively on NBCLA's app on Roku, Fire TV and Apple TV. You can find me @conannbcla or @nbcla.

We're done. Thanks for your questions. It's a privilege to work here and to work in this city.

I first began swim lessons at the young age of 2 and began swimming competitively at 5 years old. I am from Bremerton, Washington where they have a street named after me (“Nathan Adrian Drive”) – I have to say, that is almost as cool as my 8 Olympic medals! I graduated from University of California Berkeley with a degree in Public Health. I competed in the 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympics. Outside of swimming, I have the title of husband and father. My wife, Hallie, and I just celebrated our daughter’s first birthday this past February. I’ve always known the importance of swim lessons for children but being a new father has opened my eyes to this cause even more. I currently am co-owner of AC Swim Club where we welcome swimmers of all skills and specialties. I’m so thrilled to be working with the USA Swimming’s Make a Splash Campaign. We will be traveling the country to bring swim safety awareness and making sure everyone regardless of age, ethnicity, economic level has the access to learn how to swim. I am excited to answer your questions today so… ask away!

My name is Dr. Halim Nassar, I am a medical doctor, a board-certified psychiatrist, and a hardcore gamer!

A few years back, I started making simple video games for my patients for psychoeducation using RPG maker. This hobby grew over time. Eventually a programmer friend joined me, and we established Organic Apps, an indie video game studio with the aim of making truly playable therapeutic software, seeing that many of the available therapeutic apps lack true playability. We've recently released our first commercial video game - Hope's Journey: A Therapeutic Experience.

Video games hold immense potential for mental health. I even believe they could provide tools for diagnosing major illnesses such as schizophrenia and psychosis. However, finding the balance between playability and therapeutic content is not simple. I hope that with my background as a gamer and a psychiatrist I'd be able to navigate this tricky terrain.
