Event InformationAbout TEDxNewEngland, elevating scientific ideas
We believe the scientific examination of life is more important than ever. Debates surrounding technology, society, progress, and truth have reached a fever pitch. The world needs a platform for powerful new ideas that are a beacon of hope. A place that can offer objective, science-based talks that help us better understand ourselves – and each other. That supports our use of technological advancements to live healthier and more meaningful lives. That highlights new ways to coexist peacefully and productively with the natural world. That leads us to the one idea we all share unequivocally: a better tomorrow.
