As our TEDxUF conference approaches, we reminisce with someone who knows the stage all too well. In this week’s episode, we discuss everything psychology and sustainability with Dr. Ron Chandler, cofounder and president of Conservation Initiative for the Asian Elephant, an Assistant Instructional Professor for the UF Department of Psychology, the department’s Undergraduate Coordinator and former TED talker. He takes us through the journey of his passion project which identifies issues of critical importance to the sustainability of the Asian elephant and the peoples sharing its habitat. Dr. Chandler then shares the process of developing his talk and some tips for future TED talkers. Tune in as we exchange elephant tales and laughter and make sure to follow us on our Instagram!
