Hi all,
I don't know if this particular presentation by Dr. Irene Davis (Harvard Medical Center) has been posted yet. It's a great talk she did at Spaulding Rehabilitaion Hospital on 18 Feb. There's some spectacular scientific data on various topics relating to running, both shod and barefoot. This is definitely one of the best talks I've seen on the subject. The presentation is split up into four parts:
Video one: heel striking, midfoot striking, forefoot striking, tibial g-forces, stride turnover and injury rate, shoes and their tendencies to increase pronation, etc.

Video 2: Cushioning in shoes and the related stiffness in joints, landing impacts based on hardness of surface, price of shoes/ related injury rates, plantar faciitis and foot strength, why do podiatrists treat the feet the way they do?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlKsM9L-TuU&feature=related
Video 3: How humans are structured to run, running injury distribution and rates, case studies, "If we were meant to run, why do we get injured doing it?"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5P-5LgodTs&feature=related
Video 4: Question/Answer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGdsfekEE8M&feature=related
Just thought I'd share in case folks hadn't seen it.
