TEDxBerkeley is curated by UC Berkeley and the executive team from the Berkeley Computer Science Undergraduate Association (CSUA). Thanks to our sponsors, Dorsey & Whitney.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBerkeley, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBerkeley event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
Wetpixel is an awesome publication and this guy is an amazing photographer, can’t wait to hear him!
I went to Yap (Micronesia) with this guy – it was an incredible trip! He’s a very talented photographer and diver.
Tune in day of the event – I think you’re going to be blown away by what Eric will unveil.
Thanks for all the support, guys!

Good for you Eric. We need to protect what we love. Whaling around Antarctica must stop. It is illegal and all countries must strongly condemn Japan. That is not scientific research if just plain business.
