TED.com provides “Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world,” as videos (streaming, downloadable, podcasts, etc.) captured during the conferences. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design.
Here are some of my favorite TED videos, and this list corresponds to the list published in our Science 2.0 column this month along with a few more. I have many more favorites as well, but would like to give readers a chance to add to this list.
If you have other science/teaching related TED videos you would like to contribute to the list, please add them in the comments section with a web address and a brief description.

Carolyn Porco flies us to Saturn
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/carolyn_porco_flies_us_to_saturn.html
Planetary scientist Carolyn Porco shows images from the Cassini voyage to Saturn, focusing on its largest moon, Titan, and on frozen Enceladus, which seems to shoot jets of ice.
Carolyn is enthusiastic about the Cassini discoveries. This video is inspiring and encourages the viewer to think about possibilities.
