Another two speakers have confirmed! We now have four awesome speakers and two more waiting for our event in February 17, 2010.

Dr. Lourdes Cruz was named a National Scientist for her research on the venom in Conus marine snails. The toxins have become indispensable tools in neuroscience. She also established the Rural Livelihood Incubator which aims to provide livelihood and employment for the countryside.

Dr. David Manalo recently won a grant for $200,000 and was one of 25 finalists selected from a pool of 1,700 entries. His project is an early warning system for communities prone to landslides and floods. He was also part of another winning project- hydro power generator that can give light to up to 2,400 people.

Hear these two great minds share their ideas, questions, and challenges on TEDx Fort Bonifacio this February 17, 2010.
