Don’t Look! (But Of Course, You Do)
Video

Don’t look, don’t touch, don’t taste. Don’t think of the elephant. But we always do. It is perhaps a core feature of our human condition that we disobey. Eve did it. Orpheus did it. And subjects in the lab do it, too, when we force them to ignore very, very naughty words.

Bio:
Jan Lauwereyns used to work with monkeys, until one of them told him not to. The experience turned our Belgian scientist poet into some sort of novelist bioethicist. These days he also operates as a worker ant at Kyushu University

Cicada: Insect Musician
Video

In Japan, we can hear unique songs of cicadas in summer. Why their songs are so complex, various, and fun? Actually, a lot of things about cicadas are still open questions. How much do you know about cicadas?
