Good experiences from Gel speakers
I've had two weeks to decompress and reflect after Gel 2009 , our seventh annual community gathering in New York City - and I have to say, there's a LOT of positive energy around Gel.
Despite the challenges - economic and otherwise - of this moment, the community has stepped up to say: good experience is important, and we want to keep exploring it and creating it. Thanks to everyone who was a part of it. (I'll be in touch soon about new Gel Videos, the Gel Challenge, a probable Gel Medical event. Drop me a note if you're interested in sponsoring or attending Gel Medical!)
We've posted a recap, as well as photos from our photographer Gene Driskell.
Beyond that, I wanted to share what some Gel speakers, past and present, have been doing and writing, in their own exploration of good experience recently. The range of these little tidbits should give a taste of the diversity and richness of this ongoing project:
• Noah Scalin (Gel '09) summarizes Gel 2009 speaker talks
• Barry Scheck (Gel '09) in NYT on DNA evidence legality
• George Vaillant (Gel '08) profiled in The Atlantic
• Geoffrey Canada (Gel '06) praised by NYT's David Brooks
