TEDxBaltimore fans who left Morgan State University last month wanting another fix will get some fresh words next month. Johns Hopkins’ student-run TEDx event is back for another year on March 7.
The event will be held at Mudd Hall on the university’s Homewood Campus. This year’s theme is “Next Gen: TBD.” The talks, which will mostly be given by people affiliated with the university, will focus on new ideas to improve the future in areas that are reviving — like classical music and art museums, and new frontiers in areas like neurology and world water distribution.
The idea is that the people giving the talks will help determine that new future, hence the TBD.
Here’s the lineup of speakers, with descriptions from JHU Hub:
