Watch "Speaking Science 2.0" in Your Own Home

By cmooney_2 on May 30, 2007.

It's official: The "Speaking Science 2.0" talk is now viewable in its entirety on YouTube:

The presentation above is the one given by Matt and myself at the annual meeting of the American Institute of Biological Sciences a few weeks back. Unfortunately, you can't see the PowerPoint slides; you can only see us talking. So not everything will make absolutely perfect sense, especially in my parts of the talk, because I don't always describe in words what I'm showing on the screen.

Still, this is a far fuller explication of our ideas than exists anywhere else; and I flatter myself in thinking that it's even a bit entertaining at times. And don't be put off by the 71 minute run time; much of that is the Q & A after the talk.

Finally, Matt and I are giving the presentation again (with modifications) next Monday at the New York Academy of Sciences...details here. I hope New York readers will come on out....

PZ, You Can Do Better Than This....
PZ Myers has this to say about the YouTube video of our "Speaking Science 2.0" talk: I tried to watch that video. I even made it to the 20 minute mark before I gave up. Please, oh please, I need some substance in order to keep me going through an hour-long lecture. I'm going to try not to get…
How to Do a Good PowerPoint Lecture
Having strongly stated my opinion that PowerPoint is not actively evil, but can be used to give good scientific presentations as well as soul-crushingly dull bullet-point talks, I feel like I ought to say something to back it up. Here, then, are some of the rules of thumb I use when putting…
Two Cultures At Meetings
For some reason, I was forwarded a link to an old article from the Chronicle of Higher Education about how to give a scholarly lecture. (It's a time-limited email link, so look quickly.) As with roughly 90% of all Chronicle pieces, it's aimed squarely at the humanities types. The advice given thus…

There may be a student around who could incorporate your PowerPoint slides into the YouTube video. If you believe what you are saying is important it's probably worth doing.
