Hear Jill Bolte Taylor Tell the Beginning of Her Story

Spend nineteen minutes watching this video. Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness –- shut down one by one. An astonishing story.

Sorry, it doesn't seem to be loading. But you can watch it on TED here.

The Perito Moreno Glacier Video

From Caroline Paulson:

THIS CLIP IS OF A SPECTACULAR SOUTH AMERICAN GLACIER. THE PERITO MORENO GLACIER BREAKS UP EVERY FOUR YEARS LIKE CLOCK WORK, GIVE OR TAKE A WEEK.

THERE ARE PHOTOGRAPHERS FROM THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH THAT COME TO SOUTHERN ARGENTINA AND THEY LITERALLY CAMP OUT AT THE GLACIER SITE IN ORDER TO GET THE ACTUAL BREAKUP ON FILM.

THE INDIVIDUAL WHO GOT THIS SHOT DID A MARVELOUS JOB!
