[Web4lib] Interdisciplinary Connections

[Robert L. Balliot]

Greetings, 

Many of the web tools currently being developed create the
potential for making interdisciplinary connections.  
Alan Russell, Professor of Surgery and Chemical Engineering 
gave a highly engaging talk at TED on regenerative engineering
that addresses the benefit and need to share information between
disciplines.

You can view the flash presentation of his talk - 
Why can't we grow new body parts? here:

(please note that some of the content is very graphic)

I think he presents a very strong case for why we
need to develop new tools and a wonderful perspective
of the challenges of modern medicine.
