Go to SciTalk to listen to a science lecture whenever you want!
SciTalks is a new site that has videos of lectures on a ton of science topics.
“Science and scientists are going to be more fun and accessible because of SciTalks. Students will be able to hear the voices and passion of the actual discoverers of the subject they’re studying in class. Teachers can assign selections to their students… no matter how limited your school’s resources, if you have access to the internet, you can now get a great science education. It’s like crack for science geeks.” says founder Lee Vodra. Source: SciTalks.com launches video site for science lectures | 901am
You know when you’re just sitting at home, nothing good on TV and think, hey you know I could really go for a good talk on particle physics. Okay maybe not so much. This is a great idea. You might be wondering how many have I watched already…none. Huh? Well they use RealPlayer (who the hell uses RealPlayer anymore!?!) and QuickTime. My Quicktime alternative doesn’t seen to have a Firefox plugin so I’ll be doing some installing I guess because there are some ones on archaeology I really want to see. No, really, I do.
Maybe more videos will be posted, might not be an alternative to the real thing, but nice to expand your horizons.
