Aliens Among Us? A Stanford Scientist’s Bold Claim

Plus: Nature, the master engineer — mechanical devices nature ‘invented’ first Sponsored by Are we alone in the universe? A well-respected professor from Stanford University has recently claimed that we are not even alone on our own planet. Dr. Garry Nolan recently made this claim at the SALT iConnection 2023 conference in New York, hinting that extraterrestrial life is real, it’s here, and some of its advanced technology has already been reverse engineered. We've more on these bold claims in today’s [Must Read story]( along with articles on mechanical devices that Nature invented first, $100,000 grants from OpenAI, and how genetic manipulation in the gut could slow aging. But first, here’s [your video of the day](. Good morning. I’m Tim, an Editor at IE. This is the Blueprint. Let's start the week.

MUST READ [Aliens on Earth]( [Stanford professor says he is 100% sure that aliens are already on Earth]( At a recent conference, Garry Nolan, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine, claimed that aliens have not only visited Earth but that they have been here for decades and continue to be here. Nolan wrote a paper debunking alleged alien artifacts in 2018, and this work led to contact with pilots who had encountered Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) on duty. Subsequent medical examination of some of these pilots revealed unexpected symptoms. Nolan also spoke of his belief that alien species are keeping watch on humankind using drones and advanced forms of AI, and that defense scientists may have reverse engineered some alien technology.

Are you leveraging it already?]( If you’re bored of working as a professional in your current field, well, you aren’t the only one. Thousands of professionals have experienced monotony in their careers, and hence, a switch is necessary to transition to an exciting life once again. However, you need to consider two factors before choosing a field of specialization - your interest in a particular field and the future scope that field offers in terms of monetary compensation. Data science remains the top tech career with an expected growth rate of 36% between 2021 to 2031. Already touted as the most exciting career to get into in the 21st century, it presents a lucrative opportunity, with the median pay being north of [$100,000 per year](.

Researchers conducted a fascinating experiment on zebrafish, and the results are nothing short of remarkable. They discovered that manipulating the DNA of the zebrafish's intestines could slow down the aging of the organ and, consequently, the aging of the entire body.
