One of the biggest challenges scientists face when studying the ocean is observing the interplay between physical processes and biology in fine detail. Join Jules Jaffe, a research oceanographer in Scripps' Marine Physical Laboratory, as he describes his latest scheme to uncover these processes with swarms of inexpensive, miniaturized robotic floats that travel with currents, sense the environment and report their findings back to us.

  • It is always a great pleasure to listen to a true intellect. I wonder how many will be eaten by sharks or how noisy they will be.

  • ^O^

    The first step to knowledge is admitting that you don't know everything. If you are unwilling to be corrected, then you will never be correct.

  • Thanks for responding. We all do things for stupid reasons sometimes. What matters is what we do after that. Being able to admit making a mistake puts you far ahead of most people.

  • I admit to idiocy, sometimes I have the cliche internet asshole impulses.

    Also, since that comment, I've given in 2 five star ratings.

    I liked the lecture/video and gave it one star purely for stupid reasons.

    Forgive my /b/tardishness.

  • TheReasonWhyGuy, after reading of your experience with being targeted by vote bots, and seeing your generally thought provoking and informative videos, it's surprising and disappointing to see you boast of giving a low rating to a scientific researcher for such a poor reason.

  • *snickers*

    I was wondering why only 3 stars, when the presentation was starting. Then he made the youtube comment, and was thinking AH THAT MUST BE WHY. That or someone owning a chinese restaurant in San Diego was watching, but there wasnt enough vote bot damage, for that to be true.

  • I gave him a one star just because of his youtube comment...
