TED fa visita a Tom Shannon nel suo studio a Manhattan per dare uno sguardo da vicino alla sua arte ispirata alla scienza. Una conversazione rivelatrice e personale con John Hockenberry rivela come le forze della natura - e il principio di tremito causato dal morbo di Parkinson - interagiscono nela sua vita e nel suo lavoro.

Journalist and commentator John Hockenberry has reported from all over the world in virtually every medium. He's the author of "Moving Violations: War Zones, Wheelchairs and Declarations of Independence." Full bio »
