TRANSCRIPT:

I’m having that identical twin sister. And my background in neuroscience is probably giving my husband more stress than he ever thought he knew when he married me. He thought he was getting one person, he received two.

They asked us earlier this morning how we felt going into the TED talks. And one of my very creative other presenters said feel like Katniss going into the Hunger Games. That’s kind of what I feel like and my subject is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which I think I have today.

So I’ll start out with our poem.

Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall;

Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall.

All The King’s Horses and All The King’s Men

Putting Good Foot Humpty Together Again.
