In praise of technique: Judy Swan at TEDxCMU

When Judy Swan was growing up, everyone told her she'd have to pick just one thing to do. But that's not been true; after starting out in scientific research, she now teaches writing to scientists at all levels in education, industry, and government. A graduate of Harvard University and MIT, Judy is currently an Associate Director of the Princeton Writing Program, where she gets to work with 18 different academic disciplines as she ponders why we all have so much trouble communicating with one another.
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)

A brilliant effort. Swan herself was using many techniques to convey her point of view such as parallel construction.... intricate, mute and precious.... 2. using metaphors... when your child runs after a ball in traffic, scream loudly... her voice modulation was impressive too... another technique to grab the audience.... the topic is effectively demonstrated. Great speaker

Wow, what an impressive speech! Not only did it shift my perspectives on writing, it also captured the beauty of science and knowledge.
