New Horizons

• Google Search Techniques were used to create the

Scientific Supercourse at

http://www.pitt.edu/~super1/Science/scienceBA.htm

• 440,000 Powerpoint Lectures were harvested in 600

academic disciplines of Science such as Engineering,

Agriculture, Health, Environment, Chemistry, Physics,

Mathematics, Earth Sciences, Space Science,

Information Science and Systems Science.

• Searches were conducted with English, Spanish,

French, Russian, Chinese and Arabic keywords.

New Horizons (cont.)

• It is anticipated from prior experience with the

Supercourse in the Internet, Epidemiology and

Public Health that students and professors will

utilize these lectures for learning.

• With its current content of 4,500 Powerpoint

lectures, the Supercourse in The Internet,

Epidemiologcy and Public Health can be enjoyed

at http://www.pitt.edu/~super1/index.htm

New Horizons (cont.)

• The Supercourse was hosted at the 2010

Biovision meeting at the Library of

Alexandria by Dr. Ismail Serageldin. It was a

phenomenal event for the Supercourse.

There were over 2000 people there.

• What is nice about a meeting like this is that we

can share our knowledge across disciplines.

• There were 3 lectures on Robots:

New Horizons (cont.)

• A professor in Japan made a life size robot looking exactly

like him and talking much like him;

• Another professor made miniature robots in the shape of a

worm with a camera inside. He is into clinical trials to have

people swallow the Robo-worms and do a colonoscopy;

• The last professor took sensors and implanted them into

his arm, and his wife’s arm, as well as wiring up his

brain. He could control the movement of his wife’s hand

just by thinking.

LaPorte, PhD" Date: Wed, April 21,

Conclusion

• The World Wide Web has brought anytime, anywhere

access to more than 100 billion web pages. Web search

engines such as Google encompass news, images,

video, directories, books, articles, catalogues, products,

laboratory tests, blogs, electronic mail, maps, local

businesses, satellite images, and lectures.

• We are now closer to realizing the aspirations of

Tennyson's Ulysses:



“And this gray spirit yearning in desire

To follow knowledge like a sinking star,

Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.”
