21st Century Video

The video from today's talks at the Science in the 21st Century conference have been posted at the PIRSA collection, so if you want to see my talk, you can watch the video (a 110 MB WMV file), and/or look at the slides (a 2.7 MB PDF).

I would also particularly recommend watching the video of John Willinsky's talk on Open Access, which was outstanding.

The video quality is excellent-- they have multiple cameras, so despite my best efforts to pace out of the frame, they kept me on camera most of the time. The audio clip of the "Bunnies Made of Cheese" posting is a little hard to hear, but otherwise it's very good.
