Reflecting on the latest ideas and trends

Conexkt is looking forward to being part of this year’s TED Conference in Vancouver, from April 15 to 19.

TED is a nonpartisan nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks. TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 110 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. (Source: TED)

This year, Johann Roduit of Conexkt will be leading a “Table Talk” conversation on “Science + Ethics”.

The conversation will cover topics related to some of the latest scientific breakthroughs:

Tools like CRISPR can make an enormous difference to humanity ... and yet it's a bit of a regulatory fiasco. Is there a framework we can use to better understand the ethics of the frontiers of science? Come ready for a purposeful, small group discussion.
