Feynman uses chess to explain science

YouTube is chock-a-block with vids of Richard Feynman. I love the way he uses analogies to explain science. Here is one of my favorites, the discovery of natural laws as viewing a chess game.

Motivating people: the illustrated version

The art of motivating employees. Interesting insights and beautiful illustrations. Also, a good mention of the open source and collaborative content movements.

BsB in high school science… nice

January 25th, 2010 2 comments

A  small spike on my blog traffic yesterday led me to look for the source via Google Analytics. (If you are a blogger, you should really use this tool, lots of useful traffic information.) Seems like most of the traffic came from the page of a high school science teacher at Badin High School in Hamilton, OH. Apparently the students were to be quizzed today on two of my posts about endosymbiosis (and one from 80Beats; I’m in good company.) So they were very busy Sunday. It’s encouraging to know that some of my posts are accessible enough for high school science. Finally, quite a few Miami students come from Hamilton (we’re close). So I might see some of them next year.

Muahahaha!
