JP Rangaswami
At the very beginning of his speech, I noticed one thing that he did not need to say, which was "I want to leave you with the idea that..." He began to give a story of when he was a kid, that his father and grandfather were both journalists and he grew up around books, which he became passionate about, and he was also passionate about food. The audience laughed every now and then, and you could tell they had a connection with RJ. His story of his life was how he explained his topic, and why he was interested in it. RJ also incorporated some science about the biology of primates. He seemed very comfortable on stage and not nervous or fidgety. He has interesting insights to how we think about information, and connecting that to food is awesome! I cook and bake, and love how if I add chocolate to milk and sugar over simmering water, it will melt and taste amazing. This relates to me in that way, so I can latch onto the subject with more ease. This relates to education because kids learn and think about the material in school in different ways, but what he talks about remains constant. I'm curious if this does relate to the world, if everyone thinks the same way or if people across the world have different ways of analyzing things.
