Utterback</title></head><body>
<div>Hello Friends of MIT World </div>
<div>http://mitworld.mit.edu</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We begin our third year of operation with 2 new videos:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div align="center">The School of Science presents</div>
<div align="center"><b>Steven Pinker</b></div>
<div align="center"><b>Words and Rules: The Ingredients of
Language</b>.</div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center">In one of his final lectures at MIT, Pinker
provides an overview of verbs and how we come to understand the
regular and irregular use of them. He also discusses how word
use can change when a word becomes commercialized and used in a new
context. For those who wonder why they are called the Toronto
Maple<i><b> Leafs</b></i> and not<i><b> Leaves</b></i>, Pinker will
explain this and more!</div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center">This is the first of 6 lectures from</div>
<div align="center"><b>Fundamentals of the Brain and Mind: A Short
Course in Neuroscience</b></div>
<div align="center"> presented in June by the School of
Science, with the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, the
Picower Center for Learning and Memory, and the McGovern Institute for
Brain Research at MIT.</div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center">****************</div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center"> MIT Sloan School of Management
presents</div>
<div align="center"><b>Professor James Utterback</b></div>
<div align="center"><b>Innovation: Are you Predator or are you
Prey?</b></div>
<div align="center">In this talk Utterback discusses how the emergence
of a new technology does not necessarily mean the end of an old
technology-- hear the details from an expert in technical innovation,
and learn about ice harvesting too.</div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center">This is the first of 3 lectures from the Sloan<b>
Back to the Classroom</b> series. Watch for the others on MIT
World soon.</div>
