As leader of TED, the now renowned nonprofit organization that hosts idea-based talks, British-American businessman Chris Anderson curates an annual list of his favorites from the year. His picks from 2019 feature sleep, satire, synthetic biology, altruism, and supercharged plants, among others. This discussion-based course will delve into the topics covered by all 13 talks. Participants will be asked to view two TED Talks prior to each course session and come to class prepared to share their observations and opinions.
