TEDxWoodsHole - Chris Neill - Arctic Thrills

TEDxWoodsHole - Chris Neill - Arctic Thrills Tube. Duration : 5.05 Mins.


What are ecological researchers to do after several weeks at an isolated camp in Arctic Alaska? Bust a move, of course. Christopher Neill will introduce a rare display of polar dancing. Christopher Neill is a senior scientist in the Ecosystems Center at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole. Over the past several years, he has led the MBL's Logan Science Journalism Program Polar Hands-On Laboratory at Toolik Field Station, in northern Alaska, where this TEDxWoodsHole video was captured by Kelly Rockwell. Chris also directs the Brown-MBL Partnership and the Brown-MBL Graduate Program in Biological and Environmental Sciences. ---------- AboutTEDx, x = independently organized event 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.)
