One of my favorite youtube channels has put a tribute to the iconic Robin Williams. Seize the Day.
The Greatest Show on Earth October 31, 2013
There is grandeur in all of the aspects of life that we know with the variety of life. This symphony of science gives a poetic version of the concepts of natural selection — the ultimate goal of passing on your genes to the next generation.
Out of Africa October 15, 2012
Where did the earliest humans come from? Charles Darwin was one of the first to propose common descent of living organisms, and among the first to suggest that all humans had in common ancestors who lived in Africa.[2]
Genetic and fossil evidence is interpreted to show that archaic Homo sapiens evolved to anatomically modern humans solely in Africa, between 200,000 and 150,000 years ago,[3] that members of one branch of Homo sapiens left Africa by between 125,000 and 60,000 years ago, and that over time these humans replaced earlier human populations such as Neanderthals and Homo erectus.[4] The date of the earliest successful “out of Africa” migration (earliest migrants with living descendents) has generally been placed at 60,000 years ago as suggested by genetics, although attempts at migration out of the continent may have taken place as early as 125,000 years ago according to Arabian archaeology finds of tools in the region.[5] >>> Wikipedia
Cosmic Question- What are we made of? August 25, 2012
One of the reasons I love science is that it answers all the big questions that often seem that are the same ones we all struggle to understand? Where does life come from and where did the universe come from. Where have we been and where are we going? One of the major ROCK STARS of science right now is Neil DeGrasse Tyson and he often tweets the great questions of the day include taking on the most explosive topic, CREATIONISM which I may or may not introduce to you at a later time. One of my recent favorites is “if aliens did visit us, I’d be embarrassed to tell them we still dig up fossil fuels from the ground as a source of energy.” He begs the question to think BIGGER, to think SMARTER. You too can follow him on twitter @neiltyson. To find out more about this cool cat who is the ultimate SCIENCE teacher, visit his web site http://www.haydenplanetarium.org/tyson/ or just start typing Neil into your google search and it probably will pop up as one of your first choices.
He is currently the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space and a research associate in the department of astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History. Since 2006 he has hosted the educational science television show NOVA scienceNOW on PBS and has been a frequent guest onThe Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Real Time with Bill Maher, and Jeopardy!. It was announced on August 5, 2011, that Tyson will be hosting a new sequel toCarl Sagan‘s Cosmos: A Personal Voyage television series.[2] >>>>>>> source: Wikipedia
