What's more interesting: learning about the phases of matter or thinking about what you're going to have for lunch? Now you can do both! Physicist Madelyn shares her hypothesis that all foods can be categorized as a soup, salad, or sandwich, and walks you through the scientific reasoning to prove it. This fun talk is guaranteed to leave you a little bit smarter and a whole lot hungrier.
Madelyn Leembruggen is a Ph.D. candidate in theoretical physics at Harvard University. Her research interests are broad; she wants to understand how microscopic (dis)order gives rise to macroscopic structure. Madelyn is dedicated to making physics an equitable, inclusive, and accessible space for people from all backgrounds, and with this goal she creates science content for all ages. When she isn't doing physics she's brewing coffee, thrift shopping, or cooking Indo-Dutch food for her family. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
