Yanki Yazgan, M.D. received his child and adolescent psychiatry training (1995) at the Yale Child Study Center of Yale School of Medicine. Dr Yazgan has taught and conducted research at the Marmara University School of Medicine (as a full professor since 2001) in Istanbul. He also holds a clinical appointment at the Yale Child Study Center. Dr Yazgan speaks to and writes for professionally diverse audiences on everyday applications of cognitive neuroscience findings and his clinical experience as a psychiatrist, for the purpose of public understanding of science. Feelings Run Faster is his most recent book for general readership. 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)
