TEDxAdelaide - Caroline McMillen - Conceiving Obesity

Caroline McMillen is Deputy Vice Chancellor and Vice President of Research and Innovation at the University of South Australia. Caroline is curious as to why it is so hard for many overweight or obese people to lose weight. Her research shows that is not related to will power; rather it is linked to exposure to early patterns of nutrition before birth and even before conception.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
