"Sonnet 4 - Unthrifty Loveliness, Why Dost Thou Spend..." by William Shakespeare (poetry reading)
Shakespeare was fond of puns. At the time this was written, the word "spend" at the end of the first line had a double meaning. It meant to ejaculate. They had the idea that the body made only a limited supply of procreative fluid - and that it deteriorated in quality with expenditure. The poem advises the young man to ration his usage of semen to create an heir and pass on his beauty - and not use it "for having traffic with thyself alone".
It's interesting that they were aware that se
If We Had No Moon - Part 4
The Moon is the only celestial body on which humans have made a manned landing. While the Soviet Union's Luna programme was the first to reach the Moon with unmanned spacecraft, the United States' NASA Apollo program achieved the only manned missions to date, beginning with the first manned lunar orbiting mission by Apollo 8 in 1968, and six manned lunar landings between 1969 and 1972 the first being Apollo 11 in 1969.

Bill Davenhall: Your health depends on where you live
9:25 Video Where you live: It impacts your health as much as diet and genes do, but it's not part of your medical records. At TEDMED, Bill Davenhall shows how overlooked government geo-data (from local heart-attack rates to toxic dumpsite info) can mesh with mobile GPS apps to keep doctors in the loop.

James Dworkin - Eye on the bigger prize
While collective bargaining in baseball and other professional sports has clearly come a long way, many argue that it still has a long way to go.
"In a difficult economy, backlash over the perceived greed of players and owners will only escalate, especially as ticket prices continue to rise and taxpayer-funded stadiums are built," Dworkin says. "Keeping a loyal fan base should be their primary concern."
Fueling Sustainability: Engineering Microbial Systems for Biofuel Production, Spring 2011
The need to identify sustainable forms of energy as an alternative to our dependence on depleting worldwide oil reserves is one of the grand challenges of our time. The energy from the sun converted into plant biomass is the most promising renewable resource available to humanity. This seminar will examine each of the critical steps along the pathway towards the conversion of plant biomass into ethanol. This course is one of many Advanced Undergraduate Seminars offered by the Biology Department

Méga usine, méga défi : l'usine de gaz naturel liquéfié (video)
Les avancées technologiques, la mise en valeur du développement durable, la prise en compte d'un contenu local, la forte demande mondiale en énergie par rapport aux capacités de production ainsi que les regroupements récents des grands donneurs d'ordre sont autant d'éléments qui font que les nouvelles usines sont de plus en plus grandes, intégrées et complexes. Ainsi la méga usine, qui était une exception il y a dix ans, est devenue monnaie courante. Pour relever ces nouveaux déf
