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).

Matt Walker

Matt Walker is a Marine Biologist from Newcastle Upon Tyne. He is currently researching how we can incorporate single celled photosynthetic organisms called ‘Microalgae’ into aspects of our lives. From a young age Matt has been an avid scuba diver and fascinated by the wonders of the ocean; he hopes to give a glimpse into the underwater world and the wonders that it holds. Whilst working as a chef for many years, Matt has developed a passion for food and has been researching how we can incorporate Algae into our diets after his travels to Iceland, Germany and Cambridge University. 'From the snow on the ski slopes to the dust of the Sahara, life as we know it would not be possible without these organisms.' Matt claims.
