Inspiring kids by thinking big in space
The audio quality is shockingly bad in this video. This was on Feb 18th, at Ignite-DC. I'd like to do a new spin on this talk soon.
This is an Ignite talk. If you're not familiar with Ignite, the talks are all EXACTLY 5 mins. You get 20 slides that auto advance every 15 seconds. It's a real challenge to not get behind on the slides.
Despite the challenge of giving a compelling talk in this format, I do really enjoy it. It forces presenters to get the point in 5 minutes and you can get through quite a few really great ideas in a 90 minute session.
Is it just me or were several of those slides way shorter than 15 seconds? Hmm...
Nanogirls
This is just ... yeah. See scientists can have fun!
You know you were just thinking "I like it when the girls stop by. To my lab."
Come on, you know you were.
The surprising science of motivation
Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward.
Remember the show “V” from the 80′s? Yeah, it’s back.
As we all know, any aliens we encounter will want to eat us which makes for good SciFi.
Was that Elizabeth Mitchell I saw? Sweet.
The Crisis of Credit Visualized
Yes, you do have 10 mins today to watch this and you need to. It's okay, Facebook still will be there when you get finished watching.

Netflix To Offer ‘Streaming Only” Plans
Netflix Inc Chief Financial Officer Barry McCarthy said on Wednesday it plans to offer its online streaming service on a stand-alone basis.
"We're likely to do that in the foreseeable future," McCarthy said at the Jefferies 5th annual Internet and Media conference in New York.
