TEDxSMU Tuesdays
Guest moderators from across campus will lead discussions on their favorite TEDTalks as the weekly brown bag lunch, video and discussion series continues.
Geoffrey Orsak, dean of the Lyle School of Engineering, will moderate on Tuesday, March 22, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Caruth Hall’s Innovation Gym. He’ll introduce Nathan Myhrvold’s TEDTalk, “Could this laser zap malaria?” and lead a conversation about the inventor and professional jack-of-all-trades.
“Nathan Myhrvold and his team's latest inventions are as brilliant as they are bold, reminding us that the world needs wild creativity to tackle big problems like malaria,” Orsak said. “And just as that idea sinks in, he rolls out a live demo of a new, mosquito-zapping gizmo you have to see to believe.”
TEDxSMU and Lockheed Martin Skunk Works Lab teams host the weekly brown bag lunch series centered on watching and discussing a TEDTalk from the TED.com archives. Each week features a different TEDTalk, and all members of the SMU and Dallas communities are welcome. The programs are free.
