Social Media Retrospective: My Top 5 Posts of 2012
1. TED Talks – Stroke of Insight and Open Sourcing a Cure for Brain Cancer
I loved watching TED Talks on my phone, tablet, and sometimes even my computer this year. I learned a lot about cognitive behavior, emotional design, life, the universe, and everything. Here are my top two that I keep going back to watch again:
Jill Bolte Taylor’s Stroke of Insight is an amazing story told by a brilliant and inspirational Doctor: http://blog.ted.com/2008/03/12/jill_bolte_tayl/
Salvatore Iaconesi has brain cancer and he has open-sourced the cure:
