Bonnie Bassler, 'The Bacteria Whisperer', Gives A Great Talk On The Secret Social Lives Of Bacteria

I'm not usually much for video - text allows me to do three other things at the same time whereas video occupies two of my senses and annoys me when I am playing guitar.    And I would like to ban all use of "X Whisperer" after the name of every person who thinks they have something clever to say.

  But when someone I have never heard of (which means nothing, I am no microbiology expert) on a site I have never heard of(ditto regarding pop science) does something terrific in an interesting, elegant fashion,  I am willing to kill 18 minutes of my life not being ADD, or whatever they call people like me who usually have to do multiple things at once.  

So thanks Bonnie Bassler ... and you too Ted.com.
