1000 Science Lecture Videos

June 25, 2007 1:06 AM

SciTalks - from the press release [19 June]: "The site launches today with over 1,000 lectures online, and more are being added daily. Segments range from a series of hour-long lectures by the late Richard Feynman, to a short, hilarious Ali G interview with Noam Chomsky, and a fascinating talk on designing a semiconductor-based brain, by up-and-coming Stanford researcher Kwabena Boahen."

It should be noted that this site is an aggregator rather than a host or a publisher. It's basically a linkbase of science videos. But it's still cool.

Great stuff, and worth it just for the interpretive dance re-enactment of protein syntheses in the sidebar.

Thanks peacay. This is an infinitely interesting post. And I've only gone through the first couple of pages!

I want to bring your attention to two articles (actually from people I know personally): Tapio Sneider's Climate Change talk and Emily Hager's Tidal turbines.

Hey, humtalk is cool too, but I wish they gave more information about the speakers background.

Hey, look at that -- a lecture by dolphin-communication researcher Dr. Kathleen Dudzinski, who was in an Acadamy-award-nominated movie about dolphins a few years back.

Dolphins are really fascinating, and it's fun to listen to her talk about them.
