Did you miss the action at this week’s TedxBoston?
Despite the reported lack of wifi at the venue, there are several comprehensive blog posts that can help you catch up.
From the enthusiasm evident on the tweet stream, it appears Ben Zander and the Youth Orchestra of the Americas’ rendition of Beethoven’s 5th was a particular highlight.
In addition to music, the day-long event covered a wide range of topics, including:
- connecting individualized and mass transit systems
- the origin of ideas and idea translation labs
- spreading hope about Alzheimer’s disease
- crowdsourced neighbourhood ‘museum tours’
- using microbial fuel cells to light up Africa
- smart medication packaging
- paper-based medical diagnostic systems for the developing world
