TED Talks is an amazing series of videos from the Technology Entertainment and Design (TED) conference which is held each year in Monterey, CA. Their tagline is “Ideas worth spreading” and here I am doing my part.
David Gallo is a “a pioneer in ocean exploration, David Gallo is an enthusiastic ambassador between the sea and those of us on dry land.” Here’s a copy of his talk from last March about some beautiful and mysterious ocean creatures. Make sure you watch this to the end!
There is a great TED blog. Here are also links to information about their conferences and the annual TED Prize which
...was created as a way of taking the inspiration, ideas and resources that are generated at TED and using them to make a difference. Although the winners receive a prize of $100,000 each, that’s the least of what they get. The real prize is that they are granted a WISH. A wish to change the world.
