The Cockroach Beatbox
By dissecting a cockroach ... yes, live on stage ... TED Fellow and
neuroscientist Greg Gage shows how brains receive and deliver electric impulses -- and how legs can respond. (Launching a series on Awesome Nature) "The Cockroach Beatbox" was animated by the TED-Ed Animation Team (Jeremiah Dickey, Biljana Labovic, Celeste Lai, Kari Mulholland and Franz Palomares). (06:15)
Re-Thinking Progress: The Circular Economy
There's a world of opportunity to re-think and re-design the way we make stuff. 'Re-Thinking Progress' explores how through a change in
perspective we can re-design the way our economy works - designing
products that can be 'made to be made again' and powering the system
with renewable energy. It questions, whether with creativity and
innovation, we can build a restorative economy.
Joseph Hirsh: Deformations with noncommutative parameters
Joseph Hirsh, City University of New York
Abstract: In this talk I will describe the classical yoga of deformation theory---that commutative moduli problems are locally described by dgLie algebras---and provide some examples. Then, importing tools from operad theory, most notably Koszul Duality, I will describe a generalization that classifies the local structure of noncommutative moduli problems.
I will conclude by describing some ongoing work to exploit the relationship between noncommutati
Daniel Berwick-Evans: Spaces of field theories and the topology of manifolds
Daniel Berwick-Evans, University of California-Berkeley
Abstract: We will explain a way in which geometric field theories can be used to study the topology of manifolds. After setting up the main players as defined by Stolz and Teichner, we'll focus attention on dimensional reduction and quantization.
The former allows us to extract numerical invariants whereas the latter can be used to produce a linear approximation (in the sense of Goodwillie calculus) that builds a cohomology theory out of

Ulrich Bunke: Bordism, K-theory and eta invariants
Ulrich Bunke, University of Regensburg, Germany
Abstract: I will describe and compare homotopy theoretic and analytic constructions of K-theory based invariants detecting torsion elements in bordisms groups. In the case of string bordism I will explain an example of such an invariant which factorizes over the string orientation of topological modular forms.
If time permits I will explain a new version of Chern-Weyl theory based on differential K-theory which is useful to derive intrinsic expre

Romney in London: Gaffes, glitz and greenbacks
July 26 - U.S. Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney will hope his glamorous London fundraisers are more successful than his attempts at diplomacy after he offends British Prime Minister David Cameron.

School Water Audit Program (SWAP)
The School Water Audit Program developed by Arizona Project WET at the Water Resources Research Center combines water education with practical applications of scientific methodology and water efficient technology. It brings community members together with students for the purpose of accomplishing a unified goal: water stewardship. It is STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education in practice!

Great Zoom out of Beltsville, MD: Beltsville Agricultural Research Center
Using data from different spacecraft and some powerful computer technology, visualizers at the Goddard Space Flight Center present you with a collection of American cities in a way you have never seen them before. Starting with our camera high above the Earth, we rush in towards the surface at what would be an impossible speed for any known vehicle. Passing though layers of atmosphere, the colors of our destinations shimmer with their own unique characteristics, and suddenly we find ourselves fl
Canción - Las Calaveras (en español)
Aquí tienen una canción para el de Día de Muertos. El grupo que canta se llama "Scherzo" y son de Querétaro, México. (1:23)
Las letras de la canción:
Al sonar las doce de la noche
Las calaveras salen a pasear
Muy contentas se suben a su coche
En bicicleta y también a patinar.
Tumba, tumba, tumba vacía
Ciérrate ya que viene la fría
Jajaja que risa me

Petri Dish Circus (MWV12)
See the history of microbiology in nine scenes of gags, burlesque, drollery and song. Produced by Active Cultures, the vernacular theater of Maryland, Petri Dish Circus is a play based off of the classic non-fiction novel Microbe Hunters by Paul Henry de Kruif. Much like the original book first published in 1926 that describes 12 historical milestones in science, Active Cultures reenacts "the daring-do of Louis Pasteur in his Parisian lab, the Scotch fortitude of Ronald Ross as he travels throug
Order in Spontaneous Behavior
Brains are usually described as input/output systems: they transform sensory input into motor output. However, the motor output of brains (behavior) is notoriously variable, even under identical sensory conditions. The question of whether this behavioral variability merely reflects residual deviations due to extrinsic random noise in such otherwise deterministic systems or an intrinsic, adaptive indeterminacy trait is central for the basic understanding of brain function. Instead of random noise

Mutmaßliche militante Islamisten haben auf der Halbinsel Sinai ein weiteres Mal ägyptische Grenzsoldaten angegriffen. Die Bewaffneten hätten zeitgleich mehrere Kontrollposten der ägyptischen Armee und der Polizei in der Stadt Al-Arish unter Beschuss genommen, teilten Militärs mit. Sechs Menschen wurden dabei verletzt. Als Reaktion feuerten äg
