I select Baba Brinkman!

WOW! is all I have to say about the newly released Evolution Rap; a guide to artifical selection. This video was specially released to coincide with the World Science Festival for which I am happily blogging, tweeting, opinionating away.  Tom Paine's Ghost proudly presents - Baba Brinkman. Read Baba's full write up over at the WSF group blog!


This post comes to you direct from the north reading room at the lovely New York Public Library. When you visit the city I would put this place on your list for a nice free place to stop and rest :)

Evolution on Manhattan

Here is the first video I've seen from a new branch of the TED talks called TED-Ed. The idea of these videos is to animate lessons making them widely available to any curious person with an internet connection. I applaud the advocacy of creativity and transparency.

The contemporary illustration of accidental evolution at the hand of human development is particularly poignant.
