Earth Microbiome Project : Rick Stevens at TEDxNaperville
50% of life on Earth is "invisible," yet responsible for making the planet habitable by man. A recent effort was launched to sample Earth #39;s incredible microbial diversity and reconstruct each organism #39;s genome to understand its complex lifestyle. So what is this effort and how does it help us understand life on our planet? In thespirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)From:TEDxTalksViews:1 1ratingsTime:18:13More inScience Technology
