Harvard Thinks Big

Thursday, February 11, 2010

Today, February 11th, from 8-10pm in Sanders Theatre, a dream team of
10 Harvard professors will each talk for
10 minutes about the
1 thing they're most passionate about...
in the first annual Harvard Thinks Big.

It's simple: a podium, a screen, a speaker, and a big thought.
Inspired by TED Talks (Ted.com) and motivated by what makes Harvard great -- amazing professors, cutting-edge research, and breakthrough ideas -- Harvard Thinks Big will be a fascinating hour and a half, a new Harvard tradition, and an all-around fun, groundbreaking, inspirational, thought-provoking, and downright BIG event.
