The Internet and Civilization: Will the internet save civilization from total collapse?

Click the image to watch a cliip in which I discuss "Six Easy Steps to Avert the Collapse of Civilization" at the Long Now Foundation in April, 2010.

Synesthesia: Why do some people associate letters with color?

Our laboratory has been studying synesthesia for eight years. In that time, we've tested thousands of synesthetes of all varieties, gathered the DNA from 8 synesthetic family trees, and performed neuroimaging. We value the opportunity to explain our research to a wider audience, and to that end our research has appeared in several popular outlets.

Here are some print articles about our synesthesia research:

What Flavor Is Your Rainbow? - Dr. Kiki's Science Hour, August 2010

Why I and O are dull for synaesthetes - New Scientist, Nov 2007

Finding the Gene that Makes People Hear Shapes and Taste Words - UT Houston Medicine, May 2006

Synesthesia: Hearing Sounds and Seeing Colors - Houston Chronicle

The Most Beautiful Painting You've Ever Heard - Seed Magazine, Dec 2006

From the Blog

A note about head shape in mummies

A few months ago I scanned a 3,000 mummy. What can (and can't) be concluded based on his perspicuously elongated skull shape, known as dolicocephy (elongated head)?
Six Easy Steps to Avert the Collapse of Civilization

Watch a talk I gave at the Long Now Foundation about my hopes that the advent of the internet will mitigate threats that brought down previous civilizations.
Breivik's Brain

What could explain Anders Breivik's shooting attack in Oslo, Norway? While this is debated from the angles of politics, religion, and sociology, I want to ask this from the viewpoint of neurobiology.
Radiolab fan? We are too.

We love NPR's Radiolab. If you haven't listened to it yet, you should. Check out several episodes featuring David's science or writing.
