Knowledge in 60 Seconds

This morning Boing Boing highlighted a video that figures into a larger video collection that deserves some attention. The 60 Second Lecture Series is hosted by the University of Pennsylvania (a/k/a Penn) and features prominent faculty members giving snappy, one minute lectures on topics of their own choice. The full collection can be found here, but let me highlight a few below. (Note: these videos work in Real Player).

• JFK’s Health, Sex Life & Foreign Policy
• Human History
• Freudian Time
• The Knowable Universe
• The Human Brain 2.0

For more videos from top notch universities, you’ll want to look through this video collection. Also see our general University Podcast Collection as well as our list of Free University Courses.
