[Publib] interdisciplinary connections

[Robert L. Balliot]

Greetings, 

 

Many of the bibliographic web tools currently being developed create the

potential for making interdisciplinary connections.  

Alan Russell, Professor of Surgery and Chemical Engineering 

gave a highly engaging talk at TED on regenerative engineering

that addresses the benefit and need to share information between

disciplines.

 

You can view the flash presentation of his talk - 

Why can't we grow new body parts? here:

(please note that some of the content is very graphic)

 

I think he presents a very strong case for why we

need to develop new tools and a wonderful perspective

of the challenges of modern medicine.
