Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are
Amy Cuddy
What is your body language saying about you? If you’re social scientist Amy Cuddy, it’s less about what you are saying with your body language to others, and more about how you use your body language to tell yourself powerful messages. Her theory? By assuming certain poses, we can actually become who we want to be.
Zombie Roaches and Other Parasite Tales
Ed Yong
This talk is given by scientific journalist Ed Yong, who explores the world of parasites and bacteria, and how they drive host organisms to do their bidding, even at times to their own self-destruction. It’s truly a fascinating talk for anyone who has ever considered the inner-life of living beings. The talk leaves the viewer compelled to ask serious “What-if’s” about the possibility of the free will of human beings themselves.
Love, No Matter What
Andrew Solomon
In this poignant talk, author Andrew Solomon explores the difference between what it means to love versus accept someone, unconditionally. He shares his findings after talking with dozens of parents of children that present unique challenges.

The Museum of Four in the Morning
Tom Rives
In this funny and enthralling talk, Tom Rives takes the audience on a journey of his minor fixation with the time 4am, and he details how it led to a small revolution of crowd-sourced references to this time. Through literature, pop-culture, science-based references, this time so resonated with so many people, he was able to create a museum online: The Museum of Four in the Morning. Intensely peculiar and deeply satisfying, this talk is an eye-opener and not to be missed.
