Jennifer Brea's TED Talk

My TED Talk on illness, gender bias, and the unknown
Dear friends,
The talk I gave at last summer's TED Summit has just gone live on TED.com. I am so thrilled to finally be able to share it with you.
"Five years ago, TED Fellow Jennifer Brea became progressively ill with myalgic encephalomyelitis, commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome, a debilitating illness that severely impairs normal activities and on bad days makes even the rustling of bed sheets unbearable. In this poignant talk, Brea describes the obstacles she's encountered in seeking treatment for her condition, whose root causes and physical effects we don't fully understand, as well as her mission to document through film the lives of patients that medicine struggles to treat."
Next stop: the Sundance Film Festival! We're so excited to be premiere Friday. Follow our journey on Facebook and Twitter.
Much love,
Jen
