The great thing about TED talks is that they are designed to take information and show why it has profound implications. This marriage of data and eureka, leads to the entertaining and engaging speeches TED is known for.
"Bonnie Bassler discovered that bacteria "talk" to each other, using a chemical language that lets them coordinate defense and mount attacks. The find has stunning implications for medicine, industry -- and our understanding of ourselves."

Apologies a million times for the lack of posting. Thanks to the troubled economy my day job is dominating my life right now, so I hardly have time to post. Thanks to everyone who keeps this blog going strong! We got over 90 visitors today!
Step by Step: How to Prepare a Slide of Cells
"Middle and Secondary Level Biology: How to Prepare a Slide of Cells. This video details the step by step instructions of how to make a slide using cheek cells. Students learn the process of preparing and staining the slide for viewing and comparison. This is a classroom produced instructional science video intended for middle and secondary studies and homework help."
SchoolWAX TV VIDEO: Great Animation/narration of the formation of Carbohydrate Bonds
"This video describes the bonding structure of four elements in the periodic table (hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon) to form carbohydrates. This video is a part of the Cassiopeia collection, an effort to make science education videos available for free to anyone who wants them. The vision is that if a concept can be visualized, then understanding is not far behind. Each video is self-contained but also embedded in a larger science fiction story intended to generate interest in the sciences."
Leaf Pigmentosis (Leaf Pigment Chromatography)
"his video is a lab cast created by John Sowash. It reviews a hands on biology project separating pigments in leaves through a process called chromatography. For resources related to this lab including student worksheets and teacher guides visit www.jrsowash.wikispaces.com/labcast"
