Science and Inquiry discussion

Just ran across this great discussion about communicating science from the ASU Origins Conference by some of the great science communicators It's in two parts and a bit over two hours in total but I felt it was well worth it. I learned a few things about the presenters as well as about science and communicating it.

From the description:
he Origins Project at ASU presents the final night in the Origins Stories weekend, focusing on the science of storytelling and the storytelling of science. The Storytelling of Science features a panel of esteemed scientists, public intellectuals, and award-winning writers including well-known science educator Bill Nye, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, theoretical physicist Brian Greene, Science Friday's Ira Flatow, popular science fiction writer Neal Stephenson, executive director of the World Science Festival Tracy Day, and Origins Project director Lawrence Krauss as they discuss the stories behind cutting edge science from the origin of the universe to a discussion of exciting technologies that will change our future. They demonstrate how to convey the excitement of science and the importance helping promote a public understanding of science.

(sigh) Youtube is not working well for me lately; it doesn't like my dial up connection either, I guess.

Does anyone know if this is going to be for sale on DVD and, if so, when and where?

I would love to see it.

Thanks,
Theresa

You could try downloading it from keepvid. Just go to the site, and paste the youtube links into the box. This works better for me if a video is too big to stream well on YouTube.

Thanks.

I haven't had time to try keepvid yet, but I have it bookmarked.

Appreciate it!
