  A comment on Talk: iO Tillett Wright: Fifty shades of gay

  Feb 3 2013: Truly fascinating talk even though listening to it required for me to cope with my own stereotypes. Nose rings usually scare me. She introduces well known concept of sexual continuum embraced in Kinsey scale but does it with a great impact and fascinates me with her strength and passion.

• A comment on Talk: Hasan Elahi: FBI, here I am!

  Jan 7 2012: I agree with some of the previous responses stating that this guy sounds paranoid. He was probably traumatized by multiple questions, investigations and polygraphy...

• A comment on Talk: Annie Murphy Paul: What we learn before we're born

  Jan 6 2012: Interesting, yet I have some reservations. First of all, how can fetuses learn theme song if the voice is conducted via amniotic fluid which obviously muffles the sound? The same concerns tastes. Food is digested by mother so finally its taste may not be the same as when it touched the tongue, so how can the child know before they try the food in question for the first time.

  A comment on Talk: Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar

  Oct 14 2011: I disagree that smiling indicates lying as in the example of bad mother shown near the end. Sometimes victims of abuse talk about what happened to them and smile out of nervousness.

  A comment on Talk: Abraham Verghese: A doctor's touch

  Sep 26 2011: Absolutely great talk, I've had so many reflections on it!
  Unfortunately, organizational issues make it more difficult to stick to proposed rules. There is 15 minutes for a visit in outpatient clinic and more and more patients are eager to sue doctor if he performs such examinations as per rectum. That greatly discourages.
  Yet, I agree with Verghese, physical examination is a kind of ritual and a such should be cultivated. I've never trusted in a plethora of electronic apps for examination. IMHO, inexperienced people hide behind such tools due to own lack of trust in own abilities.

• A comment on Talk: What we learned from 5 million books

  Sep 24 2011: It's a really great talk and adding humor to it was an excellent choice.

• A comment on Talk: Sunni Brown: Doodlers, unite!

  Sep 24 2011: Amazing! I never imagined that sn may make such a speech on...doodling!

• A reply on Talk: Amy Lockwood: Selling condoms in the Congo

  Sep 22 2011: Did they use them?

• A comment on Talk: Kate Hartman: The art of wearable communication

  Sep 14 2011: It was a strange talk. I don't quite get it how these queer constructions may change/open ones that wear them. I was also surprised why people laugh at these pictures because for me they were unclear and disturbing.

  A reply on Talk: Sarah Kaminsky: My father the forger

  Sep 9 2011: Your "funny" comment clearly shows that you did not understand me.
