TEDx, the independent TED event series is coming to Caltech in January. TEDx events are inspired by TED and use the same plans and speaking formats. I'm surprised I haven't heard more buzz about this event. I wasn't able to get into TEDxUSC, the first of the TEDx events. I'll be volunteering for the event and hope to see you there!
Will we see coverage of Feynman's vision of the "race to the bottom" -- his challenge to his engineering and scientist peers to work together and compete to see how small we can go in nanotech. Will anyone from Professor Tai's micro-machine lab be speaking? I'm sure we'll see interesting wetware - bio/cs/eng research, given the Institute's focus on Bio over the past decade.
You won't know until you go! (Or until you check the speakers tab)
