The idea of sharing a somewhat "down-to-Earth" video relating the results of recent medical research is fascinating and encouraging to me. I don't think this video sacrificed too much of the relevant science and was still able to keep it somewhat interesting for the average viewer. I think it's vital not to "dumb down" the information too much, but it should still not be overly technical. Is this video sharing going to be a new trend for medical researchers? I hope so!
