Galileo on the Moon
Galileo used thought experiments to test many assumptions, including the notion that heavy objects fall more quickly than lighter objects when they are dropped. Lacking access to either a vacuum chamber or a planetary body that has no atmosphere, he nevertheless correctly predicted that all falling objects would accelerate at the same rate in the absence of air resistance. In this video segment from NASA, astronaut David Scott demonstrates the correctness of Galileo's prediction. Run time 0:47.
Galileo: Sun-Centered System
Before the 17th century, people generally believed that Earth was at the center of the universe. Galileo, however, was not afraid to challenge existing beliefs when he published his work in support of the Sun-centered, or heliocentric, Copernican theory. In this video segment adapted from NOVA, learn about the two opposing worldviews and the strong piece of evidence Galileo offered to support the heliocentric theory. Closed captioning included. Run time 05:06.
Galileo: Sunspots
Galileo used his telescope to gather data about the heavens, and his observations and theories sparked much controversy. Contrary to the popular belief of the time, Galileo suggested that Earth was not the center of the universe. In this video segment adapted from NOVA, the importance of unbiased scientific inquiry is demonstrated by Galileo's observations of sunspots. Closed captioning included. Run time 03:42.

A Team Approach for Treating T-Cell Lymphoma
Of the approximately 76,000 new patients who will be diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) this year, 15% will have peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). To meet these challenges, we've assembled a world-class team of medical oncologists, dermatologists, radiation therapists, hematopathologists and stem cell transplant experts to create a multidisciplinary T-cell lymphoma working group. Chaired by Younes, the group discusses challenging cases and recent clinical and pre-clinical data in PTCL, i
