TEDxUF is celebrating its tenth annual conference in 2019. We have built upon a legacy of ideas worth spreading, and we hope to continue to shape our community with passionate curiosity.
Below, we have selected two of our talks that have been featured on TED.com––we hope you find them as meaningful as we did.
LB Hannahs
What it's like to be a transgender dad
LB Hannahs candidly shares the experience of parenting as a genderqueer individual -- and what it can teach us about authenticity and advocacy. "Authenticity doesn't mean 'comfortable.' It means managing and negotiating the discomfort of everyday life," Hannahs says.
Mac Stone
Stunning Photos of the Endangered Everglades
For centuries, people have viewed swamps and wetlands as obstacles to avoid. But for photographer Mac Stone, who documents the stories of wildlife in Florida's Everglades, the swamp isn't a hindrance — it's a national treasure. Through his stunning photographs, Stone shines a new light on a neglected, ancient and important wilderness. His message: get out and experience it for yourself. "Just do it — put your feet in the water," he says. "The swamp will change you, I promise."
