How I fell in love at TEDMED

Blogroll from continuing coverage of TEDMED 2012.  Marya Zilberberg writes on The Health Care Blog about “How I Fell in Love at TEDMED,” calling out Bryan Stevenson and Rebecca Onie, among others – hear, hear.  Dirk Hanson’s blog “Addiction Inbox” took a closer look at Ivan Oranky’s fantastic talk about the current epidemic of pre-conditions.

And we present Alphachimp Studio’s digital scribes of TEDMED session #10, “Rethinking Assumptions, Reimagining Possibilities” – similarly met with acclaim by the viewing audience both at TEDMED and at large.
