Shaping the Mind: Ancient Hebraic Texts - Joshua Meier at TEDxRedmond 2012
Joshua Meier has a broad range of interests including science, history, entrepreneurship, and ancient Hebraic texts. His passion for science began at age 4 when he received his first computer game as a birthday gift. At the age of 5, he opened his first email account, and by 8, began programming. Later, Joshua #39;s interests expanded to cultural roots - he placed first in the world at the International Jerusalem Contest and two years later, sixth place at the International Bible Contest. He integrates science and history through entrepreneurship where he specializes in revitalizing ancient texts as modern iPhone and iPad apps. In his high school laboratory, he researched and discovered novel molecular properties of mitochondria in stem cells which could lead to improved stem cell and cancer therapies. Joshua #39;s contagious excitement for science has led him to win top awards at Intel ISEF and be named a Google Science Fair finalist. 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:309 15ratingsTime:13:50More inEducation
