The TEDxImperialCollege website has been active only two weeks, but already we’ve attracted thousands of visitors. We all know that the most exciting thing about a TEDx event is the speaker line-up, and it’s nice to see that our web traffic proves this. With the exception of the registration link, the speakers page is by far the most visited on the site.

Which is why today we’re proud to announce Professor Sophie Scott as our 6th speaker. She’s a cognitive neuroscience at University College London and will be talking about laughter as language, and the ancient evolutionary origins of laughter. We’re really excited about her talk and we know you’re going to love her as well.

We’ll be announcing our four remaining speakers over the next week, so stay tuned; we’ve got some real gems for you!
