NEASIS&T TED Talks Film Festival

Are you a lover of TED Talks?  Or maybe you’re wondering just who this Ted
person is that everyone keeps talking about?  Either way, join us for an
evening of TED Talks, pizza, and sparkling conversation, on Wednesday, April
29, from 5:30-8!  Vote on your top choices for viewing at the festival here:
http://neasist.wufoo.com/forms/ted-talks-voting/.  We’ll show several of the
talks that you’ve voted for and include some time between films to chat
about the ideas presented in the talk.  

TED Talks are “inspired talks by the world's leading thinkers and doers,”
available at http://www.ted.com.  TED stands for “Technology, Entertainment,
Design,” but talks span a vast range of topics.  The TED conference
challenges intriguing people to “give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes
or less).”  Many focus on technology and design, and no matter the topic,
most are extremely engrossing.  Sound good?  

Sign up by Monday, 4/27:
