“Yesterday I posted about the Tuesday night opening by lung transplant recipient Charity Tillemann-Dick, who inspired us to a standing ovation. Wednesday opened with an even stronger response to a new performance by poet/performance artist Sekou and his partner Steve Connell. I can best describe it as a powerful jazz poetry duet about our final years and the onset of death. Here's a snapshot from Martha Stewart's Tweetstream. (Yeah, that Martha.)”

“We're here. TEDMED 2010. If you remember last year's coverage, we ran a summary post at the end of each day. We think it's the best way to truly capture the full day at TEDMED, but keep in mind that we'll also be running individual posts on the technologies, innovations, and ideas we found to be the most fascinating.”
TEDMED 2010 - Day 2 - Thomas Goetz, Craig Venter, Alex Berenstein, and More

“Wow. What a long but eventful day, full of family values lessons from Mehmet Oz, the genesis of synthetic life by Craig Venter, and a history and future of interventional radiology by Alex Berenstein. Oh, and of course what conference would be complete without a blood draw by CVS, some DNA sequencing by 23andMe, and the discovery that your Medgadget editor Gene Ostrovsky had a few fourth cousins in the audience (as discovered by last year's 23andMe genetic test).”

“Day three was packed, with over twenty talks between 8am - 7:30pm, ranging from Frank Gehry talking about his memory in his old age to Danny Hillis describing his views on a shifting paradigm in cancer treatment, away from genes and towards proteins. In traditional TEDMED fashion, the day started with entertainment.”
