PulseProject.org – Lectures and Podcasts in Science
Posted by Stephen
PulseProject is an interesting collection of video lectures and podcasts in science. It is aimed at university and IBDP-level (or A-level) students and educators as well as the general (well informed) public. Looking through their list of lectures and videos, there is some leaning towards eugenics and psychology, though there are many that might be of specific interest to IB Biology students:
Genetics & Evolution:
GM Crops and global food security Chris Leaver
Where did you leave your genetic fingerprint? Katharine Wright
Genes and Human History Gil McVean
Descent of the Dinosaurs Chris Jarvis
Music of Life: a new view on nature and nurture Denis Noble
What makes us human? Robin Dunbar
The practice of Eugenics in Estonia Ken Kalling
–
Ecology:
Saving the Asian Apes (Indonesia link!) Susan Cheyne
Exploring the Ecology of Insects Mike Bonsall
Seven Years to Save the Planet (Climate Change) Bill McGuire
–
And some bits from our heroes:
Ben Goldacre at Skeptics in the Pub
Marcus du Sautoy on A mathematician’s journey through symmetry
Ruchard Wiseman (the Quirkology guy) on the luck factor
