Manoush Zomorodi!
Manoush Zomorodi (@Manoushz) is an award-winning podcast host, author and relentless examiner of the modern human condition. As host of New York Public Radio’s Note to Self, named 2017’s Best Tech Podcast by the Academy of Podcasters, she unpacks the forces shaping our accelerating world and guides listeners through its challenges. Her book, Bored and Brilliant: How Spacing Out Can Unlock Your Most Productive and Creative Self, is based on her 2015 interactive project, “Infomagical,” which got people around the globe rethinking their relationship with their phones and jump starting their creativity.
Zomorodi’s’s goal, as the New York Times wrote, is to “embrace the ridiculousness” of modern life. She often speaks on creativity in the digital age, kids and technology, and non-fiction storytelling, and was the “Z” in Vice’s recent list: ”An A-Z of Women Pushing Boundaries in Science and Tech.”
Join us in welcoming Manoush Zomorodi to HighEdWeb 2018, and reserve your seat for her presentation on Monday, Oct. 22!
