TED: Animations of unseeable biology

Yet another nicely done TED presentation, which show animations of biology and DNA. Check it out!  I wish they have the long version that walkthrough all the animations and explain how things work.

We have no ways to directly observe molecules and what they do — Drew Berry wants to change that. At TEDxSydney he shows his scientifically accurate (and entertaining!) animations that help researchers see unseeable processes within our own cells.

TED: How to defend Eaerth from asteroids

This is another nice presentation from TED – by Phil Plait on How to defend Eaerth from asteroids

What’s six miles wide and can end civilization in an instant? An asteroid — and there are lots of them out there. With humor and great visuals, Phil Plait enthralls the TEDxBoulder audience with all the ways asteroids can kill, and what we must do to avoid them.

Future of Medicine!

This is an interesting TED presentation by Daniel Kraft on the future of medicine.  Many interesting concepts, technologies and ideas are presented.  You should check it out!

I can’t wait until the time when my smartphone will alert me to have dinner at so-and-so restaurant because it detects what minerals I need for my body, my mood at the time, historical data, and location of where I am at.

Skynet can’t come soon enough!  :)
