YouTube for Science?
Shipud writes "The National Science Foundation, Public Library of Science and the San Diego Supercomputing Center have partnered to set up what can best be described as a "YouTube for scientists", SciVee". Scientists can upload their research papers, accompanied by a video where they describe the work in the form of a short lecture, accompanied by a presentation. The formulaic, technical style of scientific writing, the heavy jargonization and the need for careful elaboration often renders reading papers a laborious effort. SciVee's creators hope that that the appeal of a video or audio explanation of paper will make it easier for others to more quickly grasp the concepts of a paper and make it more digestible both to colleagues and to the general public."

Slow down cowboy! It's been 2 hours since you last criticized a limousine liberal for telling you how to live your life while he continues to wallow in the extravagance that only the mega-wealthy can afford.
pff, aren't holographs supposed to move when you move your head around? Doesn't look like a very good holograph to me.

Try moving your head rapidly into the screen.
