Disability and medical TED Talks

When I updated my podcasts last night, ready for my commute today, down came a whole load of new Ted Talks.

TED is a series of worldwide events; mini lectures designed to inspire and communicate big new ideas.

I subscribe to the audio only feed but, if you are a keen viewer of the site you may already have come across these as videos.

Often disability themes and related science is touched upon. In today's batch of downloads I spotted these:

Elliot Krane: The mystery of chronic pain - How they're learning about it and hope to treat it.

Dennis Hong: Making a car for blind drivers - The simple tactile feedback needed to achieve this feat.

Harvey Fineberg: Are we ready for neo-evolution? - How far can we push our genes?

There's much more on the site. Tap your area of interest into their search box and spend a mind expanding morning with some of the planet's most impressive thinkers.
