We Reviewed a few of the TedX speakers for this year's independently organized event. Among those, the most recognizable were Robert Shiller, an economist for the New York Times; Mark Saltzman who writes books on bioengineering (not the Sesame Street writer); Cynthia Schneider, who works on foreign policy and does a fantastic job, and the "You're not Special" guy from YouTube, Mr. David McCullough, Jr (if only YouTube could have been around to capture the magic of a David McCullough Sr. commencement speech).
There are some real magicians (Jen Kramer, for example). You can watch her abracadabra video.
Tickets are $35 for non-students, and $15 for Yale students with ID. You can pick up yours at EventBrite. The event takes place this SATURDAY March 29th, from 10am until 3pm.
