Wanda speaks about the wonderful and rarely-practiced skill of listening to the stars. To help her audience 'see' the world as she does, she encourages them to don blindfolds and listen to clips of the sounds stars make. An amazingly inspiring talk by an incredibly driven women who, regardless of her circumstance, has done incredible things with her life.

She is a computer scientist and astrophysicist from Peurto Rico. She focuses on researching multimodal perceptualistion as a way to enrich space science data analysis techniques mainly using sound as an adjunct to visualisation.

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)
