The TED story
I stumbled onto TED in 2017 while looking for something interesting to practice English. So Google brought me to Nagin Cox's talk about time on Mars. I translated it into Russian, just to get a feeling of how it all worked. I liked it so much that I decided to try to "make a small contribution" by becoming a TED Translator. While in the process, I have come across a great plenty of interesting ideas and amazing people :)
