A New World of Cryopreservation: Sossi Iacovides at TEDxTexasTechUniversity

Sossi speaks on the world of current cryopreservation technologies with regard to livestock, and specifically horses. The world of science is constantly evolving, as are the technologies employed. People want the latest and greatest -- so long as it is the most cost-effective. Sossi's research focuses on the freezing of equine semen in a cost-effective manner. Additionally, her research has shown that, on post-thaw recovery analysis, there are higher motility and morphology counts that overall could lead to the potential propagation of genetics worldwide.

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.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
