  A comment on Talk: Joshua Prager: In search of the man who broke my neck

  Apr 17 2013: I truly enjoyed the presentation. One can listen to many topics; but in this I felt I have heard the autobiography. Thank you, Joshua.

• A comment on Talk: Dan Pallotta: The way we think about charity is dead wrong

  Mar 11 2013: I enjoyed it. I have worked for non-profits for the past 35 years and understand the central problems about which you speak. However, with the attitude of our new and younger society, the concept of the non-profit, I'm afraid, is on its way out. We tend to preach to the choir.
  
  Thanks for the great words.

  Mar 8 2013: Wow. I am not sure as to how to write a reaction that I feel. Amazing presentation that I believe all of us has experienced in one way or another -- either as a receipient or participant. Perhaps both. Thank you Shane for bringing to life an amazing and realistic story which touched me.

  A reply on Talk: Janine di Giovanni: What I saw in the war

  Jan 30 2013: It is a shame Mr. Donnell that you cannot allow this person to present to a person that has NO experience in this type of situation the opportunity to "live" for a moment the experiences she has had. I realized that you are much more knowledgeable than me and, in all probability, much more intelligent; however, I enjoyed the presentation. I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry in that you must be so analytical and will not allow yourself a bit of pathos through the viewing of this presentation. Perhaps you should return to your math or science text and allow some of us the ability to lose ourselves and enjoy a few moments of reflection.

• A comment on Talk: Amy Cuddy: Your body language shapes who you are

  Oct 9 2012: I have taught communications science for several years. As per the teaching of Plato and Aristotle, I have included body language as a type of said communication. This presentation is very interesting and it will have me to review my notes as far as including the inclulsion of visualization. Thanks,
