So I'll just give you an example from my lab.

The salesmen were students from my lab.

But could you step over my laboratory with me?

I want you to imagine that you're a student in my lab.

Now this is a high powered battery that we grew in my lab.

And fundamentally that's what I do in my lab.

Now, this is a high powered battery that we grew in my lab.

And that's what I do in my lab.

So that's what we're interested in looking at in my lab.

And so he came to visit my lab and looked around it was a great visit.

Okay, send them to Berkeley because that's the next thing I want to do.

So in my lab, we've been using bats to look at two different types of diseases of the senses.

In my lab, we're developing a brain computer interface technique that's designed to tweak the brain in a way that may improve self control.

When I run it through my lab, this heat mapping shows everything is intelligible.

I have to show you something from my own lab, so let me sneak this in.

Imagine being in my lab and trying to discover how geckos stick.

But what we're really trying to do in my lab is to engineer tissues out of them.

In my lab, which we're peering into now, at MIT this is at the media lab.

And this is of a student of mine named Joseph who I had the good fortune to work with for three years in my lab.

I was really fortunate to have President Obama visit my lab this year on his visit to MlT, and I really wanted to give him a periodic table.

What if he says, 'Oh, I already have one,' or, 'I've already memorized it?' (Laughter)

I inspired my lab to focus on what I thought was the most non controversial source of stem cells, adipose tissue, or fat, yes fat nowadays available in abundant supply you and I, I think, would be very happy to get rid of anyway.

In my lab, which we're peering into now, at MlT this is at the media lab.

So right now, in my lab, we're combining state of the art bat field biology, going out and catching the long lived bats, with the most up to date, modern molecular technology to understand better what it is that they do to stop aging as we do.

So here are three examples and these are all done from research in my lab at Penn.

If I were to take a swab off your teeth and plate it on a Petri plate, within about four or five hours, I would have to see growth.

Now, in my lab at Stanford, we've been working on autonomous cars too, but with a slightly different spin on things.

What this research taught us not just my lab, but our institute, and Harvard Medical School more generally is that we have unique resources in academia for drug discovery that our center, which has tested perhaps more cancer molecules in a scientific way than any other, never made one of its own.

This is the kind of game done by my lab and many around the world.

We did this work in my lab with the dolphins and elephants, and it's been recently shown in the magpie.

I wanted to update what I've been doing since then but it's still the same theme song and introduce you to my lab and current work, which is the Environmental Health Clinic that I run at NYU.

It's a cognitive illusion that we've been studying in my lab for the past few years, and 80 percent of us have it.

All right, a political scientist, it doesn't really count, but my laboratory was the laboratory of democracy that is Michigan, and, like any good scientist,

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the great students who work with me in my lab at Penn and my collaborators.

And Michael Fleischman was another Ph.D. student in my lab who worked with me on this home video analysis, and he made the following observation that just the way that we're analyzing how language connects to events which provide common ground for language, that same idea we can take out of your home, Deb, and we can apply it to the world of public media.

And in my lab, I was studying the widower effect, which is a very old idea in the social sciences, going back 150 years, known as dying of a broken heart.

At the bottom right is one that I built in my lab about 10 years ago, and we finally turned that into a product.

So what we've been doing in my lab is looking at these unique sensory specialists, the bats, and we have looked at genes that cause blindness when there's a defect in them, genes that cause deafness when there's a defect in them, and now we can predict which sites are most likely to cause disease.

Well, for many years in my laboratory and other laboratories around the world, we've been studying fly behaviors in little flight simulators.

That's the difference in human beings that I've seen of the three million I've been around.

Max Vision was one of the best penetration testers working out of Santa Clara, California in the late 90s for private companies and voluntarily for the FBl.

So in my lab, we bring adolescents and adults into the lab to have a brain scan, we give them some kind of task that involves thinking about other people, their minds, their mental states, their emotions, and one of the findings that we've found several times now, as have other labs around the world, is part of the prefrontal cortex called medial prefrontal cortex, which is shown in blue on the slide, and it's right in the middle of prefrontal cortex in the midline of your head.

Also, the brilliant scientists who work at my lab and also others on staff, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington wonderful place to work.

And I was really fortunate to have President Obama visit my lab this year on his visit to MIT, and I really wanted to give him a periodic table.

Don't feel too bad about failing the first pop quiz, because everybody fails all of the pop quizzes all of the time.
