TEDMED Talks to Stream Live at UCSF
Conference to be Simulcast April 10 to 13
Find out what TEDMED is and why becoming a part of the community is truly a life-changing experience.
UPDATE: The simulcast schedule was updated at 3 pm on March 26, 2012.
An offshoot of the popular TED conference series that addresses innovations in health and medicine will be streamed live to UCSF campuses from April 10 to 13.
A video feed of the TEDMED 2012 conference will be played in lecture halls across UCSF Parnassus and Mission Bay campuses and the sessions are open to all faculty, staff, and students.
“TEDMED is the only place where a Nobel Prize-winning neurobiologist has a conversation with a four-star general…where an opera singer (with a double lung transplant) chats with a NASA space physician…and where a ballet dancer talks to an exoskeleton designer,” according to the TEDMED website.
TEDMED will feature about 50 speakers in all, representing a variety of fields including medicine, science, business, education, technology, media, government and the arts. Among them are the executive producer of “The Weight of the Nation,” a Montreal-based urban acrobat group, an organic farmer and Francis Collins, MD, PhD, director of the National Institutes of Sciences.

The simulcast is sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges and hosted by Pathways to Discovery, UCSF’s program to train the next generation of health and health care researchers, scholars, advocates, and leaders. Afternoon sessions on Wednesday and Thursday will include discussions led by UCSF moderators.
