3 great microfluidics talks on the web

If you can’t attend the microfluidics talks I’ve posted for the Boston area, there are some excellent talks on the web. Check out these three from leaders in the field:

1. George Whitesides talks about paper microfluidic diagnostics and much more at TEDBoston. 20 minutes. (2009)

2. Stephen Quake asks, “Is it beyond the reach of physics to predict biology?” and discusses his microfluidic research. 65 minutes; Quake begins at 6 minutes after a brief introduction by my former advisor, Joel Voldman. (2007)

3. Paul Yager gives his take on microfluidic point-of-care diagnostics for the developing world. Note how both Yager and Whitesides emphasize the power of the cell phone to acquire, compute and transmit data. 60 minutes. (2008)
