Postdoc Mike Gil Named TEDGlobal Fellow

TED today (May 23) announced its 2017 TEDGlobal Fellows, including one from UC Davis: Mike Gil, a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy. He will be one of 20 international fellows who will give talks at TEDGlobal in Arusha, Tanzania, in August. 

Every year, TED selects a group of rising stars to be TED Fellows based on their achievements and strength of character, and their innovative approaches to solving the world’s tough problems. Fellows receive coaching and mentoring in public relations and communications, and join an active network of fellows.

Gil’s work on ocean ecology and coral reefs has taken him around the world, from Thailand to French Polynesia, to cruising through the North Pacific “garbage patch.” He is also deeply committed to talking to the public about science. He started blogging in 2011 and launched a YouTube channel in 2012.
