And in my research and my teaching,

I don't research what's killing the bees, per se.

Let's take the example of the heart, the topic of a lot of my research.

I thought, look at the impact that my research has had.

Otherwise, my researches here would've come to nothing.. .

My own research has not been in IT or anything like this.

I'm going to tell you about some of my research, where I provided evidence for a different kind of hypothesis than the one that might be in the book on your coffee stand.

I do research on leading edge technologies for waste water treatment as well as MOLO class technologies for sanitation in the developing world.

During my research I came across four different Pentagon projects on different aspects of that.

But what my research has shown me is that experts tend on the whole to form very rigid camps, that within these camps, a dominant perspective emerges that often silences opposition, that experts move with the prevailing winds, often hero worshipping their own gurus.

I work with survivors of childhood trauma, and I know from my independent research, that four years after just a five day program, there is a highly statistically significant can never say that word, highly statistically significant reduction in depression.

And so my research group at the Media Lab has been developing a series of inventions to give us access to this information in a sort of easy way, without requiring that the user changes any of their behavior.

I would love to talk about my astronomy, but I suspect that the number of people who are interested in radiative transfer in non gray atmospheres and polarization of light in Jupiter's upper atmosphere are the number of people who'd fit in a bus shelter.

Well, interestingly, and based on my work and others in Africa, for example, we've shown that even the most vulnerable small scale rainfall farming systems, with innovations and supplementary irrigation to bridge dry spells and droughts, sustainable sanitation systems to close the loop on nutrients from toilets back to farmers' fields, and innovations in tillage systems, we can triple, quadruple, yield levels on current land.

And the more we talked about how great it was to increase science literacy, the more they wanted to talk about us creating the next Frankenstein, and as a result, for the next six months, when you Googled my name, instead of getting my scientific papers, you got this.

I understand that before my mother other languages were spoken and that communication took place in other accents with which they prayed, fought, sang and played games that they had brought with them from some place in Africa, from which they were taken and to which my research has not yet brought me.
