My TED story

My DB/Bioinformatics lab mate (Ibrahim Musa) sent me a link to "Peter Donnelly shows how stats fool juries" talk as we were researching Data Mining related stuff. Later I watched the next Einstein is African talk by "Neil Turok". I fall in love to this place "TED" and was more than glad to find a way to participate actively in translating TED talks into Arabic and Share them . So, Yes We Can.
