CSO TalkTalks opens quietly for a FIFTH friendly shared experience amongst science educators on Monday, May 11, at 6 pm SLT! You don't have to be a science teacher, Just a teacher interested in learning and sharing!
Sometime between now and then, please visit and when you rez in click on the Vanderbilt teleporter. Once at the CSO building, enter and vote for the TED video you'd like to share and talk about. Then we'll see you Monday night at 6 pm SLT to view and chat! Come early! Voting ends at 6:05 and the video airs promptly at 6:10! Chatting allowed in text during the event--ENCOURAGED, in fact! Come join us: You KNOW you want to make time to watch and share. You'll logoff all the better for it!
Here are the 4 videos from which we'll choose one, or two if we're lucky, for Monday, May 4, 2009, along with their descriptions at TED.com! Can't come Monday night? Watch them at TED by clicking on their names below, all by your lonesome--but I guarantee it won't be as fun!
At the CSO HQ, click the red square for Joann Kuchera-Morin:

Select the green square for David Bolinsky:
Medical animator David Bolinsky presents 3 minutes of stunning animation that show the bustling life inside a cell.
Pick the yellow square for Margaret Wertheim:
Margaret Wertheim leads a project to re-create the creatures of the coral reefs using a crochet technique invented by a mathematician -- celebrating the amazements of the reef, and deep-diving into the hyperbolic geometry underlying coral creation.
Or choose the blue square for Tim Ferriss:
From the EG conference: Productivity guru Tim Ferriss' fun, encouraging anecdotes show how one simple question -- "What's the worst that could happen?" -- is all you need to learn to do anything.
