TEDx - The Science of Extreme Stormchasing

Driven towards discovery in the "wild west" of meteorology, Timmer is determined to solve the mysteries of tornadoes and hurricanes with the ultimate goal of collecting data that saves lives. Timmer established TornadoVideos.net which has become the premier source of weather footage for news and production companies worldwide.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)
