Breaking the Mirage | Adi Melamed | TEDxBrownU

After meeting dream catchers at Brown University, Adi Melamed, a freshman, questions his choice to study computational neuroscience. Passionate about understanding the ways that we think, he analyzes the recipe for pursuing your dreams and identifies one of our greatest obstacles: our need for security.
Adi is a freshman at Brown likely studying computer science. He believes that ideas are most influential in shaping who we are and the collective world we live in. Ideally he’d like to spend his time spreading and exchanging ways of thinking, offering new mindsets, and creating the communities for others to do the same. Adi sees himself doing the former two through professional speaking, storytelling, and blogging and looks to use entrepreneurship to create new networks and communities that allow for the effective exchange of ideas. Adi loves a great conversation about ideas, passions and philosophy and is always looking to have dinner with new people!
