The American Geophysical Union gathering brings together scientists of
diverse studies to share their work with each other.  Astronomers,
climatologists, oceanographers, geologists, etc.   The highlight of
their meeting is a week of press conferences where papers are presented
in a real attempt to explain what they are working on.   We are SO
fortunate to have this recorded and posted to YouTube.  Their channel
has great presentations for astronomy.   With beautiful images - this is
the AGU channel:     http://www.youtube.com/user/AGUvideos?feature=watch
