YouTube for Scientists

SciVee, is being billed as YouTube for scientists. It produced by the National Science Foundation, the Public Library of Science, and the San Diego Supercomputing Center and they hope it will "move science beyond the printed word and lecture theater taking advantage of the internet as a communication medium where scientists young and old have a place and a voice."

"SciVee allows scientists to communicate their work as a multimedia presentation incorporated with the content of their published article. Other scientists can freely view uploaded presentations and engage in virtual discussions with the author and other viewers. SciVee also facilitates the creation of communities around specific articles and keywords."

So what can you find on SciVee? Well I clicked on a few words in the tag cloud and here are some of the videos I found:
Interesting project.
