This particular ted talk has got so many important information and so I immediately felt engaged to what was being said. I could actually relate to the words. I have always liked listening to such talks and if there are more like this one, I would never step back and would be there till the end. There was nothing to feel lost or confused in between the talk and basically these are all signs of inattentiveness which is so unlike me. I was pretty sure about the technical concepts that Sabeti shared when explaining her work. The way she has presented the whole thing has actually made me feel personally connected to this issue.
