So a crystal that will ring if that happens.

So we got started.

And so this is why we turned to these guys here.

We are social beings from the beginning.

Right now the Sloan Foundation has just funded a multi institutional study on this, to work out what the risk and benefits to society are, and the rules that scientific teams such as my own should be using in this area, and we're trying to set good examples as we go forward.

This is research can't buy it.

a former colleague of mine.

To explore this question, my student, Siggy Adalgeirsson, did a study where we brought human participants, people, into our lab to do a collaborative task with a remote collaborator.

That's a multimedia tasker.

Is an Apollo Project of cooperation possible?

All right, I'm going to tell you one more story about this building.

The chief engineer did research hand in hand with his assistant.

I was mesmerized.

What kind of shit research are you doing?

I cannot take credit for most of this.

Fortunately, I had and continue to have an absolutely wonderful team of colleagues and collaborators in my own team, and that's the only way that this work can really occur.

So we got started.

All right, so why do I care about this?

And this is just the first of these.

And here's one example that's really exciting.

The Laboratory

All of it? The research, the blogs.

And so in this video here this is a video taken from David DeSteno's lab at Northeastern University.

So this is some work that we're doing.

We used to share a lab.

So one of the best parts of my job is working with really great patients who are also our research collaborators.

It doesn't really matter if you're in the north, the south, the east, the west.

How many masks do you need?

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

None of the work is my work.

I'll get back to that in a minute.

(Laughter)

I'm not a geneticist, so I won't pretend to understand the genetics.

They're not breeding they're not even around.

The laboratory, Wilma.

Merrick Institute.

Crazy house.

Ectoplasmic research.

In the lab.

I'm doing research for an article...

This is cancer research the world over.

We need to discover what those differences are.

It was a randomized control study published in The Lancet.

(Laughter)
