Drug researcher gives $105M gift for medical research

“Jan Vilcek, an immigrant who would later head the research team that developed Remicade, is giving $105 million to the New York University School of Medicine, where he has worked for the past 40 years. The school, which will put the money to use in medical research, called it the largest gift it had ever received and probably the largest faculty gift of all time.”

Security Cam Music Video

This band decided they didn’t have money to make a video, so they set up in public places in view of security cameras, then asked to get the footage from the people.

Pretty cool results, though a little creepy to think how much these cameras are around.
