TEDxNewYork upcoming calendar

Hello All,

As you may have noticed, our weekly gatherings have been weathering some drastic time and date challenges. We've been working very hard with the volunteers and donated space to accommodate everything as best as we absolutely can. We're not perfect, but we have aspirations. We trust you understand there are many factors we have to deal with.

The good news is we have a calendar for the next 6 weeks! Whew! We're trying to secure Fridays from here until forever but when we can't, we play it old school and go back to Tuesday mornings.

**Tuesday at 10am September 21st

Friday at 1pm October 1st

Friday at 1pm October 8th

**Tuesday at 10am October 12th

Friday at 1pm October 22nd

Friday at 1pm October 29th

Thanks everyone!

TEDxScrambled (no TEDxNY this week 9/17)

Hello Friends,

Due to the facts that our awesome meeting space is graciously donated entirely for free we ran into a calendar kink and are unable to have TEDxNY this week. No is more sorry than I.

HOWEVER we are deep in conversations to hammer down future dates with nails, glue, screws and clamps just to be sure so that we will be golden for the near and distant future. Then, we'll be able to publish upcoming dates and the (RARE) changes in the future. That's better for everyone.

In the mean time, have a lovely week, enjoy each other's company and the weather and do something nice when no one's looking, because it's fun.

Be well, see you & see you soon.

TEDxNewYork 09/10/10 Robert Thurman (2009)

So, we had an interesting gathering this past week as a/v issues took the "technology" out of Technology Entertainment Design, so we were all forced to... talk to each other. O heavens forfend! No, wait, we do that every week...

So we talked before the talk instead of talking after the talk which was fun though the conversation structure was very different. Plus, we talked more after too.

I'm putting the request out here for anyone who had something they wanted to share from that (a website, a book, an idea) to post it in the comments here. There were a lot of ideas worth repeating.

Then, we watched this:

Bonus TED Activity on Thursday evening

TEDxNY is on for this coming week, Friday, 1-2pm.

ADDITIONALLY there's this, with our fellow TEDsters of NYC...

THE 9-9-10 TED-FLAVORED MEET-UP:

Announcing an unofficial and improvised TED-flavored meet-up on the new public Lincoln Center Lawn on Thursday, September 9. The meet-up starts about an hour before sunset and goes until they kick everybody off. Come join us for friends, fun and back-to-school sympathy. Please consider bringing at least two of the following: a little drink, a little food (maybe apples and honey for a sweet Rosh Hashanah?), a musical instrument, a spouse, a lover, a pal, a stranger, your kids, your folks, your posse, not your doggy (sorry!), a TED Talks fan, an activity, a talent and a beach towel and/or picnic blanket worth spreading.

This message is being sent out to New Yorker buddies old and new from among TED, TEDActive, TEDxEast, TEDxGotham, TEDxBrooklyn, TEDED, JED and anyone else we can think of. If you feel like we've missed somebody, absolutely pass it along. TED virgins and walk-ins encouraged. Please feel free to tweet this notice, post it, blog it or link to it here. No RSVP, no questions, no nuthin'--just come if you can, when you can. If it rains...that SUCKS.

--Amy (TED Prize Director), Kelly & Rives (TEDActive co-hosts)

Hello all,

As it turns out, we won't be having a TEDxNY this coming Friday, but we'll be back on the 10th. In the mean time, YOU have a great long holiday weekend, okay? See you soon (but not as soon as we'd like)!

Updates... yes, we're still on, yes, our website needs some work...

Sorry for the lag. We're trying to improve. We do improve on a weekly basis in a very REAL way. In this virtual world... we're a bit behind. But we've got some help now and what was that line...? "I get by with a little help from my friends..."

Thanks for your patience!

Special Screening on Wednesday (Tuesday's TEDxNY is still on the schedule.)

There will be a special screening of The Cove this Wednesday, April 14th, from 6-8pm, followed immediately by specialist Dr. Diana Reiss.

This event requires an RSVP! Please email TRAINING@GREY.COM if you would like to attend.

Dr. Diana Reiss

Diana Reiss, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychology, Hunter College.

Diana earned her Ph.D. in Speech and Communication Science from Temple University and is an internationally recognized researcher in animal cognition and communication.

Her research focuses on marine mammal cognition and communication, comparative animal cognition, and the evolution of intelligence. Her work also involves the rescue and rehabilitation of stranded marine mammals. In 1982, she developed a laboratory at Marine World in California, where she investigated the nature of dolphin communication and cognitive abilities. She was one of the scientists instrumental in the campaign to protect dolphins from being killed in tuna nets that resulted in the labeling of "dolphin safe" tuna. In addition, she was a scientific advisor on the Emmy award-winning documentary, The Cove, a founder of the Center of Animal Intelligence at the National Aquarium, and a co-founder of Thinking Animals, Inc. which will bring scientists from around the country to New York for a public symposium on animal Cognition and Behavior in May 2011.

Diana's work has been published in numerous international scientific journals and book chapters and has been featured in many television science programs, included Nature, National Geographic, Wild Kingdom, the Today Show and several BBC nature shows.
