The ted talk was engaging. I believe Ms. Sabeti was putting a lot of effort into it and everyone was engaged. She was very clear with the presentation. Personally, I don't feel a connection with the issue she presented, it was still interesting. A potential draw back would be her trying harder to get people more engaged after her presentation.
