An idea worth spreading
"Peotry is the lyric of innovation" - I would like to point out that expression in some poesy can often be the source for new ideas and new innovation.
The TED story
The first TED talk I have seen was Sir Ken Robinson talk on education, while studying philosophy and education at high school. Three years after, studying at Tohoku University in Tohoku, I have been introduced to Janine Benyus talk on Biomimicry, which set my way to my major. Month after, the earthquake and tsunami disaster hit my country on March 11th 2011. I decided with the help of Patrick Newell from TEDxTokyo and high spirited university friends to organize TEDxTohoku, an event dealing with the challenges and ideas emerging from the disaster zone, as well as stories from the region.
