Magical Thinking: Won-Jun Kuk at TEDxWilliamsCollege

Won-Jun Kuk is a senior chemistry major with a concentration in biochemistry from Fairfax, Va. He has particularly enjoyed his Williams classes on acting, refugee resettlement, and psychology. An avid fan of magic tricks and a "debatably capable" magician, he is drawn to the nature of belief and superstition. He hosts a music show on the college's radio station and works as an EMT with the Williamstown ambulance service. He hopes to employ his Williams liberal arts experience to become a competent physician, "who cannot only interpret the data but also think beyond those numbers as well."

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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)
