JoVE: Journal of Visualized Experiments
I learned about JoVE at a recent workshop, and it's got great potential for teaching. Indexed in PubMed, Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) is a peer reviewed, free access, online journal devoted to the publication of biological research in a video format. Essentially, it publishes videos of experiments in the life sciences.What exactly does it do? To quote their site:
JoVE takes advantage of video technology to capture and transmit the multiple facets and intricacies of life science research. Visualization greatly facilitates the understanding and efficient reproduction of both basic and complex experimental techniques, thereby addressing two of the biggest challenges faced by today’s life science research community: i) low transparency and poor reproducibility of biological experiments and ii) time and labor-intensive nature of learning new experimental techniques.
You can browse experiments by category:
Basic Protocols
Neuroscience
Developmental Biology
Cellular Biology
Plant Biology
Microbiology
Immunology
...by date, by keyword, or use their search function. Sort of like watching baseball at home instead of at stadium. You can view closeups and instant replay if you missed something.
