A new weekly post featuring talks by innovative thinkers, sponsored by TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design). This is what the internet was made for – to allow challenging ideas to escape from their academic ghettoes and hang out in a place where they can talk to each other.
Mary Roach has written several books on aspects of science we usually don’t get to hear about – Stiff (dead bodies), Spook (the Afterlife), Packing for Mars (life in the Void). This talk is from Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex.
