Shades of EPIC2015 (on steroids). This National Science Foundation funded research “is a system that automatically generates a virtual news show. Totally autonomous, it collects, parses, edits and organizes news stories and then passes the formatted content to artificial anchors for presentation.

Video captures of 13 lectures on climate change for non-science majors, fall 2009; David Archer, University of Chicago. Another excellent example of higher education outreach (also known as public service). Recommend that mp4s be hosted on GoogleVideo to enhance download speed, availability. Download (1st lecture) took half hour – we have Verizon FiOS. - Brain Teaser: Cloud of Atlases via Susan Bernick
