About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

@nehamashira the only things we work with in the community labs currently are bacteria.. the cat example was from a medical research lab with a valid (and approved) medical objective to their animal experimentation. I think animal rights are one of many very valid ethical questions that have to be addressed carefully. Thanks for watching and commenting!
