Known for their music videos that defy tradition and push the limits of imaginative filming, OK Go has a new one- "End Love", directed by Jeff Lieberman and Eric Gunther.

Here's what Jeff had to say about it:

"Eric Gunther and I directed a music video with OK Go. You've seen them on treadmills and in their backyard, but you've never seen them like this. With some fancy cameras and a little magic, we figured out how to dance with time. For those of you who like numbers...

Bonding With The Autistic Child- A Fool-Proof Plan To Get The Most Progress, And The Most Cooperation

Apr 28 2010 | comment(s)

The first year I was working as a Behavior Therapist, I had a client named David*- a five year old boy with autism, who was my first case as a newly-promoted supervising Senior Therapist. My boss and I met the entire family at their home on an initial fact-gathering mission, in preparation for the beginning of an intensive 35 hr/week home therapy program. We asked David's mom the typical questions- age of onset of symptoms, verbal ability, what types of perseverative behaviors he had, etc.

Cambridge Science Festival: Day 1 Highlights

Apr 25 2010 | comment(s)

It is springtime in Boston- a time when some of the greatest young (and old) innovators in science come together for 9 days of sciency goodness, a.k.a. the Cambridge Science Festival.

This short video highlights some of the activities and exhibits from the opening day carnival on Saturday. Features include cool stuff like LEGO robots, wicked-old mud fossil casts, making slime, and extracting banana DNA using such high-tech tools as a plastic ziplock bag and a coffee filter.

Science outreach makes me all warm and happy inside. (^_^)
