Online Videos for Scientists

It seems like online video sites are everywhere these days. Even CNN got on board with a YouTube election debate. Now scientists are exploring if this medium will further communication in their field.

Here are a few websites to check out:

• SciVee, created by Phil Bourne of University of California, San Diego, is a "YouTube for scientists." Researchers can post a 10-minute video explaining results from a paper they published.
  
  
• The Science Network wants to be the C-SPAN for science. Currently, the site has videos from various meetings and symposia such as the Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa that took place at the Salk Institute, and a talk by Sydney Brenner from the Science Masters series.
  
  
• Another site, JoVE, offers videos of scientists explaining their experimental protocols.
