I’ve devoured TED talks for years, both because I find them individually fascinating and because, as a speaker, I’m constantly trying to improve my communication and refine my own style. What’s remarkable to me about TED is that experts present their work in brilliantly non-expert ways (and by that I mean “ways that everyone else outside their field can understand”). It’s exactly what I aspire to do with my journalism. So I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been accepted as a TED Fellow for 2014.
That means I’ll get to meet with an inspiring list of artists, journalists, scientists, and thinkers from around the world, and also the opportunity to share my own work. I can’t wait.
(In the meantime, here’s one of my favorite TED talks.)
