AIBS Adds YouTube Channel to its Free Online Collection of Lectures and Interviews

AIBS has added a YouTube Channel -- http://www.youtube.com/user/rogrady -- to its lineup of free online lectures and interviews with some of the world's most eminent biologists. Now online are 18 archival recordings from the year 2000 that include interviews with Stephen Jay Gould, E.O. Wilson, Gene Odum, and a remarkable conversation between Ernst Mayr and Michael Robinson, former director of the National Zoo in Washington DC.

We'll continue to add to the YouTube postings while we also continue to build the AIBS Media Library -- http://www.aibs.org/media-library/ -- which currently contains more than 70 plenary lectures recorded at AIBS Annual meetings from 2000 onwards, with audio, video, slides, and transcripts.  The themes of these meetings have been:
