[Sci-all-l] "YouTube for Scientists" SciVee

[Flora Grabowska]

>From Chronicle of Higher Education (Aug 2007):

The National Science Foundation, the Public 
Library of Science, and the San Diego 
Supercomputing Center are hoping that their Web 
site - billed as a YouTube for scientists - will 
help demystify important research papers.

The site, called SciVee <http://www.scivee.tv/> 
will allow scientists to upload highly technical 
papers. But it will also let the researchers post 
accompanying video presentations that serve as 
quicker, more approachable guides to their work...
... the site stresses that its goal is 
“widespread dissemination and comprehension of 
science.” To that end, SciVee offers guidance on 
video production, and it allows professors to 
make their recordings available as podcasts.
