Web Briefing Videos
Each Center-funded research project is required to create a 5-minute video as part of M-CASTL's "Web Briefings" program. These videos include the principal investigator of the project, and sometimes other researchers, describing what they did on the project, what they found, and the implications of their findings. Click each project title below to read more about the projects, or one of the video links to watch.
The first two versions of each video were designed to work with Windows Media Player (WMP), if they do not open correctly, please right click, then save the file, and open it with WMP. The third version can be viewed with Quicktime or iTunes.
