Krista Tippett Videos

An SOF Unheard Cut from a hotel room in Vancouver - Krista and Diamond met face-to-face to discuss education, cognitive neuroscience, the importance of play, and more. Here's your chance to be in the room and listen to it all.

Neuroscientist Adele Diamond is helping to bring unfolding knowledge about the brain into classrooms and educational systems, and in the process she's challenging fundamental modern notions about education and life. Activities like reflection and play, music and sports, it turns out, not only nourish the many aspects of human spirit and personality, but also hone our minds.

A renowned Buddhist teacher and author, Matthieu Ricard trained as a cell biologist and is now part of the Dalai Lama's ongoing dialogue with scientists. We'll explore why hes been called "the happiest man in the world," and how he understands spirituality as "contemplative science."

August 28, 2009 - University of Minnesota Center for Cardiovascular Repair For our public radio program, "Stem Cells, Untold Stories," we toured Doris Taylor's lab. Here, she shows us the phases of regenerating tiny, rodent hearts suspended in elaborate architectural glass bulbs with tubes feeding them ? one lifeless with old cells; another one stage further, a pale "scaffold" ready for stem cells to be injected; and finally a regenerated heart ? pink, pumping, alive, and beating on its own. Taylor also tells the story of a man with a rare, heart disease who says that her cutting-edge work is "building hope."
