last week saw the 2009 session of the TED conference with the theme "
the great unveiling." several videos of
talks are available to view already on the website, but i'm intrigued by TED prize winner,
jill tartar. she is the director of the
SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute’s Center for SETI Research and as a TED prize winner, she can share her vision ("wish") to change the world. she states:
