Architecture: Hedonistic sustainability

I've been only twice to Copenhagen, but I really liked it there. That's of course because the Danish people are very nice, but also because I really like how the city feels.
There's a great TEDtalk on architecture by some Danish with focus on sustainability: Link to TED page.



I strongly suggest to not watch the video in the embedded video frame size!

Enthusiasm for Science

I just wanted to point out to a project called 'the symphony of science', available at

http://symphonyofscience.com/videos.html

It consists of a series of music videos, aiming to

"bring scientific knowledge and philosophy to the public, in a novel way, through the medium of music. Science and music are two passions of mine that I aim to combine in a way that is intended to bring a meaningful message to listeners, while simultaneously providing an enjoyable musical experience."

I embed only one of those here:




I really like what the project is aiming for. In my opinion, there is a severe lack of easy accessible material for the general public regarding all fields of science. Publishing in journals and proceedings is good, but doesn't help the non-scientific population at all. Unfortunatelly, writing popular science books isnt' valued in the scientific community at all.

Two short videos

I didn't post anything the last months and collected a few things. Those two vidoes are nice, but especially the second one is old.
