Emily Levine explores how we can connect with reality--at any age! Emily Levine was a successful television writer/producer (Designing Women, Love and War, Dangerous Minds) as well as a stand-up comedian on TV (“Late Nite with David Letterman”) and at major clubs around the country. Since then, she’s become the Jon Stewart of science, finding comic gold at the interface of science and society. Her appearances at conferences (including four appearances at TED where she was recently voted one of the 100 all-time favorite speakers); in corporate venues; and onstage (in NY, LA and San Francisco) have received accolades from the press (“One of the new Queens of Comedy”, NEWSWEEK), from the scientific community (“Emily @ the Edge of Chaos” is a brilliant mix of art and science”/BRIAN GREENE and TRACY DAY, co-producers of the World Science Festival); and from her peers. Emily is in the final stages of post-production on “Emily @ the Edge of Chaos”, a film about how science saved her life and how she will now save the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
