Working with the crowd : 21st century citizen science
Galaxy Zoo PI and James Martin Fellow Chris Lintott will review the technologies available to researchers seeking to rescue themselves from drowning in data by recruiting the help of tens or even hundreds of thousands of volunteers. As well as our own Zooniverse suite of projects (which now includes climate science and papyrology), Lintott will highlight other successful examples including the protein folding game, fold.it, and even an example of collaborative mathematics.
Chris Marshall, curator of the OSU Arthropod Collection
Chris Marshall from OSU's College of Science and curator of the university's arthropod collection takes us on an early morning journey to find an elusive scarab, a northwestern rain beetle.
These beetles only appear during the first winter rains in the Pacific Northwest, spending the bulk of their lives underground.
Join Chris and see if he can locate a rain beetle burrow.
9.00 Introduction to Psychology (MIT)
This course surveys questions about human behavior and mental life ranging from how you see to why you fall in love. The great controversies: nature and nurture, free will, consciousness, human differences, self and society. Students are exposed to the range of theoretical perspectives including biological, evolutionary, cognitive, and psychoanalytic. One of the best aspects of Psychology is that you are the subject matter. This makes it possible to do many demonstrations in lecture that allow y
We're All In at PDC10 Here at PDC10, it's all about the Cloud and Windows Azure. And with last week's announcements about Office 365, you can see that Office and SharePoint are serious about the cloud as well. In this episode, we talk with Steve Fox and Chris Mayo who have been doing a lot of work leveraging Azure services and data in SharePoint solutions and building solutions on SharePoint Online. Watch as Steve talks about how to get started with developing solutions using Windows Azure and Chris discusses Shar

What if Peter Drucker Taught Enterprise 2.0 Strategy?
Peter Drucker (November 19, 1909 – November 11, 2005) was a writer, management consultant, and self-described “social ecologist.” He is in every practical sense the father of modern management strategy.
As a life long Drucker student, I’ve always imagined how he would have taught or wrote about Enterprise 2.0 and its impact on today’s management and companies. So I decided to turn imagination into reality (well… mine at least) and produced a presentation which I believe would ha
Mars Dead or Alive: A Hostile Environment
Mars has intrigued people for centuries, in particular because of its potential for extraterrestrial life. Today, technology has advanced to the point that scientists can actually send robots such as those used in NASA's Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission to study Mars. In this video segment from NOVA, learn about the MER mission and why scientists are so interested in exploring the red planet. Closed captioning included.
