You probably already know something about the topics we’ll cover in our next TEDxUCR Salon event: the cost of water, obesity, international diplomacy. But, what if, with just a 15-minute presentation, we could totally change your outlook?
Our title comes from the world of biology, where DNA sequences must be read in a specific order. A frameshift mutation occurs when one individual nucleotide is deleted or inserted. Suddenly, everything shifts. Frameshift mutations are usually deleterious. But the idea that a small change can produce a big effect is a powerful one. Join us as we prepare to shift our frame of mind on some very important topics. Our event will include 2 sessions separated by a conversation break where we will supply food, drinks, and discussions.
