BigThink.com is a new video service, featuring interviews from a bunch of VIPs from all spheres of life–politics, science, philosophy–all of them giving you their short opinions, and expecting your reactions in the comments section. Think YouTube, Huffington Post style.
Though our yokel doctor editors found the service somewhat confusing, the site does have a Medicine & Biology section to peruse. Below is a video from one of our favorite (and the most optimistic) aging intellectuals, Dr. Aubrey David Nicholas Jasper de Grey, a biomedical gerontologist from Cambridge, whose main expertise is in thinking that you can live forever (see flashbacks below). For reasons unknown to us, de Grey talks about how to become a good researcher.
