Ideas worth spreading

Why humans need to see the first stars ever formed

Amy Lo • TEDxManhattanBeach

Why should we care about how life began? A leader working on the James Webb Space Telescope, Amy Lo gives us plenty of reason to care. Our journey to see the first stars ever formed is the result of what distinguishes us as humans - our innate curiosity and a need to know who we are, how we began, and how we will end.
