Favorite:

Mike Chamberlain is the Manager of Innovation for the Guest Experience at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. In this capacity, he helps oversee the design and development of new initiatives in the guest experience group.

A car inspired by a boxfish? A wind turbine blade modeled after a whale's flippers? This presentation tells the story of inventions that mimic the efficient designs of ocean animals, and how these animal-inspired inventions could play a role in reducing carbon pollution, helping us create a clean energy future.

In the spirit 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)
