What is TEDMED?
Once a year, TEDMED holds a "grand gathering" where leaders from all sectors of society come together for three and a half days. They explore the promise of technology and the potential of human achievement. 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. When great minds from different fields meet and mix, it can lead to fresh insights and surprising breakthroughs. Check out this popular TEDMED video by David Sinclair, where he discuses aging research and wonders "Can a pill a day help keep aging away?"
