holistic video might be a good approach

After a very long time I am updating my blog .. :)
When I use to read papers and journals for any topic , I use to find lots of misleading words, contradicting sentences confusing english even in top journals, yet it is a practice for your research and you gain experience to take what you want from those papers and filter out others . I thought why is that only some topics or superficial school topics are only in videos and there are lot of youtube videos individually telling only research without integrating. For eg. consider we are trying to learn the aplysia's feeding mechanism, there we might find individual electrophysiological recordings, individual molecular mechanisms involved in it etc etc as videos, but we do not find the bridge between them. There should be some professional shooting company which sponsors researchers and other youtube videos wherein they try to integrate and help young researchers to understand even  better and reduce the misleading approaches of papers and their sentences in it. I call it a holistic approach and this might improve the interest in research more rapidly and effectively than any other means.
Any comments?

  1. There are shooting companies like that. Journal of Visualized Experiments is one example. http://www.jove.com/

  2. yeah i have heard of it but it shoots only individual topics like if we need electrophysiological recording of something we get the technique and some examples etc etc like if we need as a function of for example just the segment 8 of drosophila i need all the works and function available for the segment 8 in one video so that is holistic approach regardless of electrophysiological, genetic etc etc technique.
    apart from that jove needs subscribing and so cannot be easily accessible to everyone :(
