Last month, I was honored to speak at TEDxSoMa along with some very interesting and smart people like Nathan Shedroff, Nicole Lazzaro, and my IFTF colleague Jason Tester. My talk was titled "The World as a Wunderkammer: Curiosity, Citizen Science, and the Maker Culture," based on an essay I wrote for the Edge.org book "What Are You Optimistic About?: Today's Leading Thinkers on Why Things Are Good and Getting Better." If you're interested, you can watch my presentation above. I hope you enjoy it! And don't miss the other talks too!
