Professor Andrea Grottoli recently gave a TEDx OSU talk about "Our Connection to Corals" as part of the Human Narrative theme for this year's TEDx event (tedx.osu.edu) on 14 Feb 2015. TEDx OSU is an independently organized TED event designed to provide a platform to communicate ideas worth spreading based on the TED structure. TED started in 1984 as a conference where technology, entertainment and design converged. Today TEDx events occur globally. Dr. Grottoli's talk is now available online on Youtube. Her presentation focuses on how all humans are connected to coral reefs and that we all play a role in protected reefs through our actions as CO2 emitters.
