How Germs Travel on Planes — And How We Can Stop Them | Raymond Wang | TED Talks

Raymond Wang is only 17 years old, but he’s already helping to build a healthier future.

Wang shares an unforgettable animation of how a sneeze travels inside a plane cabin as well as his prize-winning solution: a small, fin-shaped device that increases fresh airflow in airplanes and r
