Summary: Following a wildly successful TEDxSemesteratSea in San Diego in January, the next TEDxSemesteratSea takes place on the MV Explorer August 5 while the ship is docked in Helsinki. To gear up for the event, whose theme is "Anchors Away: From Ideas to Action," a smaller TEDx salon gathering in the Union was held just before we reached St. Petersburg, Russia.This event included the viewing of Sarah Kay's TED Talk, "If I should have a daughter..." Also, two members of the shipboard community shared their personal journeys: student Brittani Brown, whose talk was titled "The Recipe," and Assistant Field Director Julie Engerran, who spoke about "The Bug."Listen to these gutsy speakers as they tell their stories about overcoming adversity and making things happen.
