TED is a nonprofit organization
devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading." What began as a four-day conference in
California 25 years ago has grown into a cultural phenomenon. The annual TED
Conference invites the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18
minutes each, and have found that 18 minutes is more than enough time to be pretty enlightening.
Their talks are then made
available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore,
Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe
Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende, and UK Prime Minister Gordon
Brown.
TEDxUofM
borrows from this model and
modifies it for delivery within the University of Michigan setting. The
conference provides the unique opportunity to bring people together from all
across the University and Ann Arbor to share ideas that will inform, engage,
and inspire.
The
conference will be streamed online, and the videos will be hosted on the
TEDxUofM website after the event.

Relay for Life
Relay for Life, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, will take place this Saturday and Sunday (4/10-4/11), from 10am to
10am, on Palmer Field. The Michigan community will join together for the
24-hour walk to celebrate the lives of those who've been affected by cancer,
remember those we've lost, and fight back against the disease.
The Program in Biomedical Science and the Graduate Student Council has a team
participating in the relay, team name, Chemically Dependent. We'd love
for you to join us in the relay by signing up, or just stop by to show your
support during the event! You can also help us raise funds for the American
Cancer Society by donating to our team online.
Thanks for your support, GSC & Team Chemically Dependent |
