- Spencer Hall is a student with an idea that has the potential to save thousands of lives. His personal experience with Cystic Fibrosis and his understanding of Statistics has lead him to believe that Statistical analysis of DNA could hold the key to placing some of life's deadliest diseases in the past.
Spencer Hall is a fourth year Statistics major and Philosophy minor. Hall plans on attending graduate school to pursue a master’s in Statistics with a concentration in Bioinformatics. Hall has had first-hand experience with a chronic illness that could be benefited by the application of bioinformatics. His talk is about how the massive amount of genetic data available today is too large to be analyzed without statistical methods, and has consequences so important that we cannot afford not to study it.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
9:50 "I CHALLENGE MY GENERATION TO BE ONE THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED AS ONE WHICH MADE FULL USE OF ITS MATHEMATICAL AND BIOLOGICAL ADVANCES TO SAVE LIFE AND END SUFFERINGS" really inspired .... even today, 6 years after this video was recorded. I will definitely save this video in my playlist.
what are you doing currently ??? do you persuing you degreee in bioinformatics ??
His call to action sounds like a beautiful Poem riddled with facts, challenges and prospects. So daring! I love it.
This is so inspiring and awesome! Every time I question why I need to continue my computer science education I turn to this video.
What exactly do you do? Is it good to learn python to analyse DNA or RNA sequences?
I am curious about Bioinformatics. I never knew it could be used like this. Would it be worth pursuing as a minor?
@@bigj3508 Actually I am doing Bioinformatics as a minor in my CS master's degree. It's quite exciting!
@@sparshchugh thank you for the feedback!
Which computer science domains are close to bioinformatics? I feel data analysis, data science and algorithmic design are examples?
To be honest, I firstly got interested in Bioinformatics because of it's future career prospect. But this video helped me realized the importance of it and I just knew that I could help other people's lives by majoring in Bioinformatics. Thank you for this video and sorry that I had thought about Bioinformatics that way.
what are you doing currently :?? can you help me find a way for bsc bioinformatics ???
@@ramratansankhlaits inter disciplinery so either something genetics related or something data science related should let you get into it. at least that's how it works for biotechnology major.
Absolutely beautiful description of a t test! Concise to the point of being poetic
Out of all speeches so far, this man was so smooth and poetic. He knew just what to say too.
His voice is so perfectly suited for this
This is inspiring, and I can't wait to share this with my students as we learn about the importance of bioinformatics. Thank you, Spencer Hall, for sharing your story and bringing bioinformatics to the soul.
Ya I'm also bioinformatician from India can u help in bioinformatics learning
can you help me finding more information regarding bioinformatics ??? me to from inida @@arunpravin270
I admire your courage and resilience brother.More power to u.
At first I was getting annoyed by his voice... till he moved me to TEARS. so good
Bioinformatics 💚💚💚
A Powerful orator, and an even more powerful message.
I literally had goosebumps while listening to him.
I've been thinking a lot about picking bioinformatics as my major. This helps with the decision. Amazing talk! Lets DO THIS
Did you do it ?
how was ur experience of bioinformatics?and are u doing btech or bachelors in it?
what you are planned for ??@@muskaanthakur1196
what about you ??@@tanishka6971
I am so glad I came across your video. Finally understood the meaning and significance of Bioinformatics.
I have been a sufferer of epilepsy and I must say that this speech by Spencer was truly amazing. Interestingly, I am starting my masters in bioinformatics in September and hopefully I can help change lives in the future, as well.
Hey kiren I'm also from India persuing bioinformatics want know more about it can u help me on that
Talk with me about bioinformatics i am doing bachelor in it and what are specialization in bioinformatics tell me plz
Good luck to you. I am a third year undergraduate bioinformatics student in China, I hope this filed can accelerate biological research progress. And I still believe that bioinformatics is the future of biology and the 21st century is the century of biology.
hello can we connect, got some questions on bioinformatics@@fei4295
from which clg are you doing bioinformatics ??? i am looking for clg , can you suggest me best clg please ???????@@usmansahi8575
Such passion! I will try my best!
his closing statements though. brilliant.
very inspiring video. thank you
That was just amazing. I am truly aspired to do bioinformatics now.
at what reseach or post you are being a bioinformatics graduate ???
this makes me excited for my bioinformatics course next year
Gilbert N'orama Are you in it now? How’s it goin?
Im in it.. it absolutely fascinating. U learned a lot about comp sc and biology for sure. But overall u ll be focusing more on genetic such as dna n stuffs
@@aleecpx hey aleef I'm from India I'm also persuing MSc bioinformatics can u help me in learning those new things in bioinformatics
@@arunpravin270 uhh sorry there.. im still in my second year degree. And i dont specialise in any sub field yet. Wht did u do for master? I mean ur sub research field? Im thinking of getting into regenarative medicine for my master.. hopefully !
@@arunpravin270 why did u do for ur degree btw? My lecturer mostly from a different field.. they re either specialise in bio/med or programming/data analysis
Can someone tell me what the name of the song in the intro is?
Why has this received so few views ._. Need to get the word out about this field of research is so people can see the merit in it I suppose. Maybe throw it down on Big Bang Theory, should get enough media attention.
Love this!
excellent presentation, sharing this everywhere
Wow, thank you Roman!
Spencer -- I'm with you in this. I'm 28 and just returned to school to study bioinformatics. Thank you for your passion and willingness to share your story. Maybe our paths will cross one day. Be well.
Great speech Spencer. Very inspiring for STEM students with CF like myself. Keep up the great work!
@@Alutrix Hello! and what about your path now? :)
Well I'm impressed!!
Good job!
This guy could have a parallel career as a motivational speaker.
after extensive research...i've finally found what i want to do in life...
which is?
tommy shaw bioinformatics 🤗
Same!
Guys I'm also bioinformatician I want explore this field can u guys help me
@@arunpravin270 But you're already in the field?
I always wondered what the Rosetta Stone was x
Beautiful way to start me up for a workshop
I have Chose bsc(hon)bioinformatics.
Firstly I was losing hope thinking about its scope, but now I am really inspired with this.... Thank you so much😊
Ghanta kuch hoga india mai isase😂 majority bioinformatics wale it company mai hai... Gareebi mai maroge ise lekar... Wo USA hai india nahi hai...
@@jackyjack9660 Man did ya even watch this video . He presented this course as an solution not as an job . Feels like you are an opportunistic person who won't go anywhere unless gets a prepared path .
great reply bor .. as per informatations thsi field have much more potential ..... i also want to persue bsc bioinformatics and i am looking for best clg in india ,, can you suggest me the best clg ???@@arpankhaiwal7732
This guys voice is epic
What is that song at the beginning 🔥
Bioinformatics is a fundamental science that leads into health managements, with out its knowledge and experience prescribing drugs/ medicine is not good so world leader should make as one of issues to improve future generation. I admire Manchester University's on line courses to.
what will be fee structure for bsc bioinformatics ?
can i talk to the speaker about bioinformatics
If I studied bioinformatics or medical informatics and got a bachelors degree from someone, could I get a master’s in medicine in America? Whereas studying medicine in America and Canada requires that you have basically a bachelor’s degree in biology in order to be able to study medicine
I can see nobody answered you, but you can do so. I'm a bioinformatics pre-med student
Just wanted to let you know that this video was responsible for get be going on bioinformatics (with a degree now). With a whole different career today because of this...
It's a great honor to know that my talk helped you that way! Best wishes in bioinformatics.
@@spencerhall7157I hope you are fine 💛
Thank you, I am! Merry Christmas. @@nrk07
@@spencerhall7157 Merry Christmas : )
Merry Christmas! @@nrk07
so happy science brought us Kuwait echo (8:40)
37! so heart breaking! how is he now? I wish you well. This is so unfair!
I am doing very well right now, thank you. (28 last November.) The life expectancy has recently gone up significantly due in part to the two drugs I talked about, as well as a new one, Trikafta, that's similar.
@@spencerhall7157 Awesome! I wish you the best!
I actully dont know what wiil be the future of bioinformatics but i love computers and technology , also i am being a biololgy student and know to future of tech & AI.. i am going to join BSC bioinformatics this year .... is anyone else joining me in the same ????
Bioinformatics can easily disrupt the big pharma
He sounds like Hawking
indeed
the CF explains it I guess
Is bioinfomatics related to computer science?
Yes, it's a mixture of Biology and computer science.
I'm not sure if this is the Katy Perry meme or an actual question
No its a biological field which uses computer science as a tool...
short and sweet explanation ??@@jackyjack9660

Thank you,

Woaaahhhh
this guy has the mic taped to his face
As a lover of computers and biology, I will take you up on the quest of solving the riddles of our bodies!
❤️
great
87 k views? Where are the others, watching rihanna?
What he described was a z test with the marble example, not a t test...
Noah8368 no a t test was correct. A z test may sound similar but is only possible if you know the standard deviation.
deciphere?
To those who understand, during the lecture I kept hearing, "EA Sports... It's in the game." 🥴🥴
10:26 when they watch this video and like this comment. Hehehe.
Not enough likes, not enough comments!
Motivating but sound is cacophonous
I challenge society to understand both sides of this issue. I’m sorry but this was propaganda because not one thing was said about the risks! Not one single thing!
This RNA engineering - has health benefits that are amazing! But there are huge risks that are very rarely discussed- and this should be a global conversation. Not just for people suffering from disease!
Good one, however he sounds like Sirie husband..
Is it a human speaking? Why does it sound like google translate?
Scary voice,? Speaking as robots I couldn’t complete
He has cystic fibrosis, that's why his voice sounds that way...
Divya Agarwal ohhh I am sorry I couldn’t realize that
@@user-wx3vr2wr1l hey it's fine
lol ugly equatuion, just plug into ti 83 + or ti 84 and do a 2 sample t test, the calculator does it for you
It was an example
wtf, is this a robot?
It’s someone affected by cystic fibrosis. Hours of coughing day and night have caused his voice tone to go more monotone. It’s not something he can control.
Wow I respect you but that voice tone was so boring I had to stop
If you listened through the whole thing, you would have learnt he has cystic fibrosis, which would explain the voice tone.
Thank you for clarifying
That is the voice of someone affected by Coughing for hours each day and also strong breath control to avoid a coughing spasm during the talk
