Morgan http://closingthesciencegap.com/?p=193 ]]> Below, I have embedded an amazing video at TED in June 2009.

There are many reasons why I wanted to point out this video. Here are a few:

1. it is an amazing illustration of how we can learn from nature.
2. importance of interdisciplinary approaches to scientific research
3. dynamic nature of deriving hypotheses and testing them
4. potential applications of scientific discovery to every day life.
5. tremendous enthusiasm and interest exhibited by the presenter about the topic.
6. the difference between presenting in a scientific meeting and to a general/public audience
7. it is pretty cool!

There are probably other reasons, but please enjoy this video…
