Bones, mummies, tuberculosis and ancient DNA (Helen Donoghue 17 March 2016)

source: UCL Lunch Hour Lectures   2016年3月23日
Speaker: Dr Helen Donoghue
Tuberculosis is an ancient disease and is still with us today. Historical DNA tells us that 'modern' tuberculosis existed 9,000 years ago, and the fact that its different strains are found in different human populations means that it can tell us a lot about early human migration.

陳丕燊：美是均衡中有錯愕 —「完美的理論」100周年 (探索14-1講座)

source: 臺大科學教育發展中心 影音平台   2015年10月12日
說明愛因斯坦的廣義相對論，距離1915年於普魯士皇家學院的初登場，忽悠已屆一百週­年。廣義相對論有何偉大之處？陳丕燊教授認為多數重要的物理理論，都充滿均衡與對稱之­美，但是只有廣義相對論從簡單而自然的公設出發，得到一組均衡而完美的愛因斯坦場方程­，它從時空的誕生到消亡，上下四方、古往今來，無所不包，一舉把理論物理的建構提高到­類似歐幾理德幾何的境界。它的結構的自然性、簡單性、對稱性、自恰性、穿透性、普適性­等等，在在給人智性的美感，而當這個完美的理論竟然能解釋、進而預測巨觀宇宙時，它也­就同時具有感性的、甚至宗教性的美。這世上還有什麼比「完美」更美的嗎？依陳丕燊教授­的看法，那應該是在完美之餘，可惜竟有一些破缺，令人錯愕。就像羅浮宮中的維娜斯雕像­，如果她雙臂仍然健在、完整無缺，會不會還是那麼美呢？完美的廣義相對論對於宇宙常數­的來源及其任意性，竟無從解釋。愛因斯坦曾經說：「引進這樣的常數，就意味著在相當程­度上放棄了這個理論的邏輯簡單性。」然而這個史上最完美理論的瑕疵，卻使它顯得更美！­且讓在科學與藝術上均有造詣的陳教授，帶領我們欣賞這個均衡中有錯愕的璀璨──廣義相­對論。

Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky: "SPRINT" | Talks at Google

source: Talks at Google    2016年3月28日
SPRINT is written primarily for business leaders and entrepreneurs who spend the better part of their time figuring out where the most important places to focus our efforts are, envisioning what are best ideas look like in real life, and – crucially – determining just how many meetings and discussions it takes before we know we have the right solution.
GV’s Jake Knapp, John Zeratsky, and Braden Kowitz developed a revolutionary method for companies to answer these questions: the Sprint. They have completed more than 100 sprints with all kinds of companies, including mobile, e-commerce, healthcare, and finance, among others. In short, a sprint offers a radically efficient path for solving big problems, testing new ideas, and getting more done more quickly.

In this lecture/discussion video from my Spring 2013 Introduction to Philosophy class at Marist College, we start our study of Descartes' Discourse on Method, looking at the first three parts of the work, in which he narrates the story of his education, his resolve to acquire experience through travel and observation, and his decision to turn within and study the human mind. We examine his four rules of method, and we also discuss the implications of his "provisional morality"

Rick Doblin, the co-founder and CEO of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS, www.maps.org) discusses:
- The FDA-approved research into the use of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in veterans and survivors of sexual abuse, rape, accidents and other traumas
- What role psychedelics can play in generating mystical experiences and the political implications of those experiences for cultural evolution
- How MAPS will market MDMA as a prescription medicine (projected to start in 2021), train therapists/psychiatrists, establish a network of psychedelic clinics, and provide psychedelic harm reduction services at Burning Man and festivals and venues around the world
