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).

Adam Drai

The Covid-19 pandemic has taken the world by storm, and nobody likes it. The number of people being infected by the virus is increasing every day, and doesn’t seem to be coming to a stop anytime soon. Nobody even seems to have knowledge of how this virus came to be. However, that may not be for long. Researchers speculate that the Covid-19 pandemic may have a direct link to Habitat degradation.
