Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, the Singin' Scientist

Hello friends! I am very excited about what is going on in my life and I am eager to share it you.

On February 27, 2008, I was invited to give an 18 minute presentation at the TED conference in Monterey, CA. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design - three wide-ranging subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future. Every year, 1300 of the world's leading thinkers and doers gather together for four days of networking, education and exposure to new ideas. Past speakers and performers have included Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Paul Simon, Richard Branson, Frank Gehry, Philippe Starck, James Watson, Billy Graham, Jane Goodall, Al Gore, and Bono. However, TED is about much more than famous names. It is about passion, laughter, beauty, and ingenuity. It is about ideas capable of changing the world, and I was given 18 minutes to share my personal story and an idea that I believed was worth spreading. My experience at TED was both pheonemenal and life transforming. See for yourself by visiting www.TED.com.
