TEDxChange, Hans Rosling and the Millennium Development Goals Alex Steffen, 20 Sep 10

We've talked a lot about the Millennium Development Goals. Today, on the 10th anniversary of their launch, the Gates Foundation and TED have teamed up to run a one day special conference. Good talks about important solutions (including another great lecture by our favorite demographer, Hans Rosling):

Kudos to the good folks at TED and BMGF.

Ted Talks are always inspiring. No matter your political affiliation or general biases, you can ALWAYS learn something.
