Is Obama's evolution on gay marriage justbeginning?
Noah Feldman, Bemis Professor of Law at Harvard University and a Bloomberg View columnist, and Richard Socarides, former LGBT advisor to President Clinton and former president of Equality Matters, consider President Obama's gay marriage endorsement. Noting that the president emphasized state rights when it comes to legalizing marriage, Spitzer questions whether Obama should have gone even further by endorsing the idea that same-sex couples should have a constitutional right to wed.

Laurie Santos: Understanding the Origins of the Human Mind
[LESS INFO] 117 VIEWS | ADDED 17:21:12 04/10/12
Laurie Santos argues that to understand the origins of the human mind, we can study the behavior of primate relatives as a proxy for our ancestors.
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2012/03/24/Being_Human_Mental_Representations_Decision-Making
As we use the tools of science to explore the nature of humanity, we are learning more and more about how our brains function and what motivates our behavior, built-in biases and blind spots.
These fresh insights are interesting scientifically, but they also evoke significant questions about our lived experience. These perspectives challenge our basic assumptions of who we are, both as individuals and as a society.
Laurie Santos is an associate professor of psychology at Yale University and the director of Yale University's Comparative Cognition Laboratory. She received her B.A. in Psychology and Biology from Harvard University and her Ph.D. in Psychology from Harvard.

The Faith Debate: The Role of Religion in Politics - Institute of Politics
A panel conversation with Anna Greenberg, Senior Vice President, Greenberg Quinlan Rosner ; Richard Parker, Lecturer in Public Policy; Senior Fellow of the Shorenstein Center; Charles Stith, Director, African Presidential Archives and Research Center; Adjunct Professor of International Relations, Boston University; Ted Strickland, Fellow, Institute of Politics; Governor of Ohio, 2007-2011; Laurie Goodstein, National Religion Correspondent, The New York Times "The Faith Debate" was a vibrant discussion encompassing several aspects of the controversy over the relationship between religion and politics. Forum speakers covered the evolution of the clash between religious denominations, the role of Mormonism and Islam in the upcoming presidential election and the (supposed) necessity of presidential candidates to be religious in some way. Forum speakers also gave useful insight into the role religion has played in shaping the history of the United States, especially in abolition and the civil rights movements. The questions were geared towards the future, rather than the past, of religion in politics. Date: March 20,2012 From: Harvard Views: 1028 21 ratings Time: 01:20:46 More in Education

Interstellar Travel: Will We Ever Get Out of the Solar System?
[LESS INFO] 120 VIEWS | ADDED 23:26:27 01/12/12
Astronomer Royal Martin Rees discusses the various options for colonizing worlds beyond our own solar system, and expresses skepticism that humanity will ever achieve faster-than-light travel. "There are hypothetical time machines, but the only one that's been worked out involves creating a black hole weighing as much as 10,000 suns," says Rees. "That seems a pretty tall technological order."

Former President of the Royal Society, England's Astronomer Royal, Lord Martin Rees brings a lifetime of cosmological inquiry to a crucial question: What if human success on Earth determines life's success in the universe?
He thinks that civilization's chances of getting out of this century intact are about 50-50. He is hopeful that extraterrestrial life already exists, but there's no sign of it yet. But even if we are now alone, he notes that we may not even be the halfway stage of evolution.
There is huge scope for post-human evolution, so that "it will not be humans who watch the sun's demise, 6 billion years from now. Any creatures that then exist will be as different from us as we are from bacteria or amoebae."
Appropriately, Rees's Long Now talk was at the Chabot Space and Science Center in the hills above Oakland, in the planetarium. - The Long Now Foundation
Martin John Rees, Baron Rees of Ludlow, OM, FRS is a British cosmologist and astrophysicist. He has been Astronomer Royal since 1995 and Master of Trinity College, Cambridge since 2004. He was President of the Royal Society between 2005 and 2010.

Social Network Analysis -- Finding communities and influencers
A follow-on to Analyzing Social Networks on Twitter, this webcast will concentrate on the social component of Twitter data rather then the questions of data gathering and decomposition. Using a predefined dataset, we will attempt to find communities of people on Twitter that express particular interests. We will also mine Twitter streams for cascades of information diffusion, and determine most influential individuals in these cascades. The webcast will contain an initial introduction to Social Network Analysis methods and metrics. About Maksim Tsvetovat: Maksim Tsvetovat is an interdisciplinary scientist, a software engineer, and a jazz musician. He has received his doctorate from Carnegie Mellon University in the field of Computation, Organizations and Society, concentrating on computational modeling of evolution of social networks, diffusion of information and attitudes, and emergence of collective intelligence. Currently, he teaches social network analysis at George Mason University. He is also a co-founder of DeepMile Networks, a startup company concentrating on mapping influence in social media. Maksim also teaches executive seminars in social network analysis, including "Social Networks for Startups" and "Understanding Social Media for Decisionmakers".

Founder Brewster Kahle discusses the inner workings of the Internet Archive's most famous service, the Wayback Machine. He explains that in addition to providing users a dose of nostalgia, it can also be used to prevent people from rewriting history.
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2011/11/30/Brewster_Kahle_Universal_Access_to_All_Knowledge
As founder and librarian of the storied Internet Archive (deemed impossible by all when he started it in 1996), Brewster Kahle has practical experience behind his universalist vision of access to every bit of knowledge ever created, for all time, ever improving.
He will speak to questions such as these:
Can we make a distributed web of books that supports vending and lending? How can our machines learn by reading these materials? Can we reconfigure the information to make interactive question answering machines? Can we learn from past human translations of documents to seed an automatic version? And, can we learn how to do optical character recognition by having billions of correct examples? What compensation systems will best serve creators and networked users? How do we preserve petabytes of changing data?
Brewster Kahle, a computer engineer, internet entrepreneur, and digital librarian, founded the Internet Archive in 1996. He is focused on providing universal access to all knowledge, and developing technologies for information discovery and digital libraries. He was co-founder of Alexa Internet, which helped catalog the Web, which was later sold to Amazon.com.

Analyzing Social Networks on Twitter
Twitter is rapidly becoming a "common carrier" of social media, a wire that transmits a variety of content rather then a social network in itself. Yet, Twitter data is rich in elements that yield to Social Network Analysis techniques and can produce unique insights into information diffusion. This course will cover: Harvesting data from Twitter via search and streaming APIs Decomposing Tweets into constituent parts Fast-and-frugal content analysis of tweets Deriving and analyzing social network data found in tweets.

NOVA visits David Wake, a renowned evolutionary biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, as he explains why members of the same species of California salamander look and behave so differently. It's a case study of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, and an example, Wake says, that Darwin himself would have loved. Watch NOVA every Wednesday night on PBS.
