5min 22sec @TEDEd clip - How #light #technology is changing medicine - Sajan Saini

Text from youtube "Discover how scientists are using light and integrated photonics technology to create medical devices that can diagnose illness.

It’s an increasingly common sight in hospitals around the world: a nurse measures our height, weight, blood pressure, and attaches a glowing plastic clip to our finger. Suddenly, a digital screen reads out the oxygen level in our bloodstream. How did that happen? Sajan Saini shows how pairing light with integrated photonics is leading to new medical technologies and less invasive diagnostic tools.

Lesson by Sajan Saini, directed by Artrake Studio."

17min #elycathedral clip - Professor Rebecca Fitzgerald ( #medicine ) | How To Be #Good episode 1

Text from youtube "Writer Francis Spufford in conversation with Professor Rebecca Fitzgerald, to discuss what it means for her to be ‘good’ in the discipline of medicine, both as a clinician and as a scientist. Rebecca is Professor of Cancer Prevention at the University of Cambridge. 

She runs a research group at the MRC Cancer Unit and is an Honorary Consultant in Gastroenterology at Addenbrooke's Hospital. She is a Fellow and Director of Studies in Medicine at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences. She received the Westminster Medal, NHS Innovation Prize and Sir Francis Avery Jones Medal from the British Society of Gastroenterology for her work in developing a new test to diagnose cancer early. 

She is committed to bringing research advances into clinical practice and training others to do the same. How To Be Good is a series of conversations between Francis Spufford and five distinguished professionals in which they discuss what 'good' looks like in their working lives, how they negotiate difficult ethical territory, and how their professional 'goodness' is informed, challenged, or at odds with the Christian tradition.

12min @thecrashcourse clip - #Ancient & #Medieval #Medicine: Crash Course History of Science #9

Text from youtube "The history of medicine is about two of our big questions: one, what is life? What makes it so special, so fragile, so… goopy!? Two, how do we know what we know? Why should I take my doctor’s advice? Why are deep-fried Oreos bad for me? It may be tempting to look at medicine as a science that has simply progressed over time—that medicine used to be bad, and its history is a story of how it got better. "
