Subject: [cs-ugrads] Excellent short talk videos on “computer science futures” topics
To: Faculty <faculty@cs.washington.edu>, Cs-Grads <cs-grads@cs.washington.edu>, Cs-Ugrads <cs-ugrads@cs.washington.edu>, Staff <cs-staff@cs.washington.edu>, eScience team <escience-team@u.washington.edu>, Escience_bbl <Escience_bbl@u.washington.edu>
Videos have now been posted from last month’s “NITRD Symposium” – excellent short (15-minute) talks by people like Jeannette Wing, Sebastian Thrun, Stefan Savage, Shwetak Patel, Beth Mynatt, Vint Cerf, Kathy Yelick, Al Gore. (And don’t inadvertently skip the one by Tom Lange just because the title looks boring – it’s a really interesting talk about things like using CFD to model the aerodynamics of Pringles and the flow of p**p through Pampers.)
