Rev­o­lu­tion­ary Minds is a new(ish) video series from Seed Mag­a­zine well worth your time. Each instal­ment pro­files a num­ber of sci­en­tists with one thing in com­mon: their ideas are rev­o­lu­tion­is­ing how sci­ence advances. So far:

The Game Changers

Com­pe­ti­tion, legal dif­fi­cul­ties, infor­ma­tion over­load, a lack of money, and pub­lic rela­tions prob­lems can impede the progress of sci­ence. [These ‘rev­o­lu­tion­ary minds’] are priz­ing open­ness over secrecy, access over scarcity, and they are cre­at­ing a future that will help sci­ence ful­fill its poten­tial to make all our lives better.

The Re-envisionaries

The more sci­ence advances, the less, it seems, that any one dis­ci­pline holds all the answers—even to the prob­lems that a dis­ci­pline was orig­i­nally con­ceived to answer. So it’s not sur­pris­ing that some of today’s most inno­v­a­tive sci­en­tific thinkers are mak­ing break­throughs by hybridiz­ing mul­ti­ple fields.

Design and Architecture

The draw­ings, struc­tures, ren­der­ings, and sculp­tures of these design­ers and archi­tects expand and clar­ify our knowl­edge of the world around us, demon­strat­ing that design is an inte­gral step in the sci­en­tific method.
