Why your blood should flow like ketchup | Sean Farrington, PhD | TEDxWilmington
In this TEDxWilmington talk, Sean Farrington sheds light on a little-known scientific field—rheology—and its powerful potential to transform cardiovascular diagnostics. He explains how studying blood viscosity can lead to earlier detection of heart-related conditions, which currently go undiagnosed in over 40% of people over 40. Sean calls for collaboration between engineers and medical professionals to integrate this emerging science into routine care and improve patient outcomes. Research engineer and communicator Sean Farrington is a published scientific author and a speaker at national and international academic conferences. With his passion for solving problems with engineering, Sean takes to the TEDx stage to share the motivation behind his research. Through his PhD, Sean studies the fluid flow properties of human blood and how that information could be used as an early diagnostic technique for cardiovascular diseases.

- 5:40Becoming a fan of people | Dr. Kevin Dyson | TEDxOldHickoryImagine if we celebrated people’s identities the way we celebrate our favorite sports teams - not because they’re perfect, but because they’re ours. We wear the jerseys, learn the stats, defend them when they’re down, and cheer the loudest when they rise. In this TEDxOldHickory talk, Dr. Kevin Dyson explore this question..... What if we extended that same unwavering support to the people around us - not trying to change who they are, but seeing them, knowing them, and loving them fully for it? Kevin Dyson, the 16th pick of the 1998 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Oilers, now Titans, also played for the Carolina Panthers, is currently the principal at Centennial High School in Franklin, Tennessee. Dr. Dyson is most famously known for the "Music City Miracle"; and "One Yard Short", two of the most famous plays in NFL history. Primarily raised by a single mother, he credits his upbringing for shaping him, as he promised his mother he'd play in the NBA and buy her a house, but she emphasized education. Dr. Dyson holds two master's degrees and a doctorate in Educational Leadership from Trevecca Nazarene University. He is a published author, hosts a podcast, serves as a radio analyst for the Tennessee Titans, and is a keynote speaker. Dr. Dyson believes true success lies in inspiring growth and navigating challenges, and the foundation for his leadership philosophy is based on the ability to LEAD with GRIT.
