TEDPrize winner Larry Brilliant is an epidemiologist who presided over the last case of SmallPox on the planet. He also founded the Seva Foundation,
which works to reverse cases of blindness, and co-founded several
technology start-ups, including the legendary online community, The Well. He was recently named Executive Director of the Google Foundation.
In this talk, he explains in fascinating detail the key behind the
successful WHO campaign to eradicate Smallpox, and then unveils his
TEDPrize wish: to build a global system that detects each new disease
or disaster as it emerges or occurs.
