Join the St. Louis Public Library for TEDMED2015: Break<ing>Through.

The St. Louis Public Library is livestreaming this year’s TEDMED stage program on November 19 & 20 at the Central Library.  The program consists of a series of 90-minute sessions on challenges and opportunities in science, health, and medicine.

TEDMED’s goal for their annual program is “for each person to leave inspired and recommitted to the important contributions they make – to their health, the health of their community and the world at large.”  Come watch and join others passionate about creating a healthier world.  We hope to have stimulating discussions in the breaks between sessions.

The sessions are spaced throughout the day with each session featuring multiple speakers on a single health-related theme.  The titles for the sessions are Catalyzing Great Science, Mind Matters, Back to Basics, Out There, Human Explorations, Techno-Utopia, Food Fix, and Who Cares for Health Care?  Speakers for each session are currently being announced on a rolling basis on http://tedmed.com/.

With a café in the building and free parking, you can stay all day at the Central Library or just drop by to watch a single session.

Mark your calendar for November 19 & 20; for more information on sessions as it becomes available see http://tedmed.com.  For more information about the Library's plans to screen sessions, check back here and on the library's website.
