Really interesting video in which "environmental journalist Andrew Revkin presents an exploration of ways to share and shape ideas that can foster progress on a finite planet. He focuses in particular on the unique role of universities as hubs of innovation, learning and, most important, doing." Revkin is the author of the NY Times 'Dot Earth' blog on environmental science (it's interesting to hear him talk about a three-metre rise in sea level back in August, which is exactly what this week's storm surge was in New York City). There is good discussion on the way skills can blend to create knowledge representation, on open access science, on the politicization of the dialogue, and more. One of many videos that can be explored at UC television.
