TEDxLSTM

Science is the ultimate exploration of the unknown. It is our rationale for systematic study: to build on existing ideas, develop technology, and break boundaries. It is a collective progress. It is a journey. On the 16th November 2019, TEDxLSTM will celebrate this journey by showcasing a myriad of cutting-edge research projects being undertaken in Liverpool, one of the most important historical sites of multiculturalism in the UK. Whilst anchored in the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, research networks have expanded and journeyed across the globe ensuring the impact of the work carried out on the Tropics is in the Tropics, making a very real change to millions of lives. By highlighting the different issues affecting people from all around the world and celebrating exploration and the integration of cultures, this event will draw upon stories, experiences and knowledge relevant to the many different population groups within the city and beyond. Our aim is to build on the cities already firmly established senses of compassion and community, as well as raising the profiles of some of the incredible work being performed here. We hope to enthuse a generation of people, foster interest in research, and inspire new ideas. From climate change to anti-microbial resistance. Together we travel into the unknown on a journey of discovery and fascination. Welcome to TEDxLSTM: Unknown destinations.
