Together with my friends, Claudia Rauch and Peter Bihr, I organise Ignite Berlin. Ignite is a series of 5-minute talks, where speakers enlighten the audience on their passions, no pitching. It's a brutal format: 20 slides, auto-forward every 15 seconds. Ignite Berlin is something we do for fun, not for profit.

SinnerSchrader asked me to moderate the NEXT Service Design 2013 Conference in September 2013. I strive to push myself out of my comfort zone once in while, in order to grow myself. I regularly present in front of a crowd, whether at client meetings or conferences, and have no problems with being on stage. Never […]

Folding Space-Time … WIth Sound
Vi Hart channels her inner Möbius … and her inner J.S. Bach … and her inner Time Lord … to turn a wooden bowl and a music box player into an interpreter of space-time reflections using music as dimensions.
This sonic mind-expander should be washed down with a look at the master of palindromic, reflected space-time compositions: J.S. Bach and his gloriously twisty-turny Crab Canon (srsly it’ll blow ya mind)
Vi Hart is the best!

Colourful electrons —-
So the other day, I was talking to a scientist here at the lab about how electrons move through graphene (a wonder material you should really go read about if you haven’t heard of it). We got onto the topic of how elements bond by sharing electrons and he asked if I could picture of the Periodic Table in my head. I didn’t have to imagine it because I pulled out the rolled up Periodic Table from my awesome pen (it actually came in handy!) and he started talking to me about about salt. Sodium (Na) has an extra electron it’s not using and Chlorine (Cl) has space for one, so they click together and become salt! Well, I’m sure they don’t actually “click” but that’s what it sounds like in my head. Chemistry is more fun with sound effects.
Anyway, after this little tangent, we got back to our actual conversation, but I couldn’t stop thinking about salt. I looked it up on Wikipedia, which showed me a cool picture of copper sulfate, a bright blue salt, and then I decided to go looking for pictures of other colored salts, and I stumbled upon the set of photos above.
These are from photographer Fabian Oefner, who put colored salt crystals on a speaker, attached a microphone to a flash trigger, and got these incredibly gorgeous shots as a result. I would love to have these printed on huge canvases to hang in my home.
(PS: When people ask me what I do without a TV, I never know what to say, but THIS IS WHAT I DO. I spend my evenings Googling salt and really absolutely enjoying it.)
This is an interesting video from a couple years ago of a 58-year old man who has Parksinson’s disease. As you can see, walking is very difficult for him. What was truly remarkable was that despite his advanced PD, he is able to ride a bike. It was astonishing, since despite being unable to walk, he is able to ride a bike almost completely normally. He does need to be helped onto the bike and given a little push to start, but while he is riding, he is capable of doing it on his own. After this discovery, they found that other severe PD patients were also able to ride bikes. They are not sure exactly why they are able to ride bikes, but it must be accomplished through a different mechanism in the brain than walking. Also, since exercise has been shown to slow the progress of PD in animal models, it might be that it would do the same in humans, so those with severe PD might be able to find ways to exercise (like riding a bike) when they cannot do others.
