As a clinical researcher and emergency physician, David Vinson studies creative ways to improve the care of patients in the ER. As an educator and mentor, he helps other curious minds see things from fresh perspectives. Integrating his science with a fascination with religion, David speaks to diverse audiences - from atheist groups to evangelical seminarians - to encourage a constructive engagement between these oft-conflicted disciplines.
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)
