Notes: 1
Actually see change over time in a Darwin’s thinking: Multiple editions of Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species”
We often think of scientific ideas, such as Darwin’s theory of evolution, as fixed notions that are accepted as finished. In fact, Darwin’s On the Origin of Species evolved over the course of several editions he wrote, edited, and updated during his lifetime. The first English edition was approximately 150,000 words and the sixth is a much larger 190,000 words. In the changes are refinements and shifts in ideas — whether increasing the weight of a statement, adding details, or even a change in the idea itself.

Mamá quiero uno. Espectacular microscopio multitouch gigante. :)
hoy en el #TEDsayuno uno de mis temas favorito #DataVisualization “Anders Ynnerman: Visualizing the medical data explosion”. Estamos empezando a tocar los datos y entender la realidad de una manera mucho más natural que un gráfico o diagrama.
Entre otras cosas habla de autopsias virtuales que podemos ver en más detalle en este otro vídeo.
