“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 258

Science Sunday!

I had a little trouble picking out today’s videos. There’s some good stuff related to Gödel, Escher, Bach and cognition that I might use in the future, but I didn’t want to go back to the Gödel well so soon.

I was hesitant to go back to Chris Bishop again again, but science should be fun. Unfortunately, the video I wanted to use, i couldn’t: YouTube has it age restricted due to content.

So I thought I’d go metal.

Okay, maybe that was a little too metal. Same org, “Metal Mayhem”, but with Andrew Szydlo. He’s got a neat sort of child-like enthusiasm, and he’s a little absent minded (or at least presents himself that way). This might captivate the kids, but might also annoy you.

Bonus: I know I’m using the same source twice, but this popped up as well, and I thought it was worth including: the presenter, Adam Kucharski, works at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and specializes in modelling infectious diseases.

“…there are two large flaws with this lady’s strategy. The first is, it’s completely illegal. And the second is, it clearly doesn’t work.”
