Lee's work has been featured in a TED talk and in GizMag, a magazine that serves over 3.5 million people per month.

Jae Rhim Lee is on the cutting edge of cultural change as witnessed by her selection to give a TED talk. TED talk subjects deal with the acronym from Technology-Entertainment-Design that selects "innovative" speakers who may make a difference in our world. As an employee of TED, Michael McWatters, has written, "TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED: Ideas worth spreading, we're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long." (source: <https://www.quora.com/What-does-TED-stand-for>)

A novel idea such as burial in conjunction with mushroom spores that assist in organic decomposition of a human body that assists in reducing environmental toxins reiterates the historical concept of the biblical phrase uttered at burials for millennium, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," which is worthy of reverence as the words speak of the thousands of years of human understanding that our bodies, though connected to mind and soul, become after death, over hundreds or thousands of years, part of the world's composite elements of earth, plants, animals, water and air.

As Watters states later (op.cit.) "In fact, everything we do — from our Conferences to our TED Talks to the projects sparked by the TED Prize, from the global TEDx community to the TED-Ed lesson series — is driven by this goal: How can we best spread great ideas? TED is owned by a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation. Our agenda is to make great ideas accessible and spark conversation." Thus, to be selected by TED is, by and of itself, both an honor and the "QED proof" that the subject has the potential to be great and at the very least has the potential to spark conversation within our world regarding the subject of burials and environmentally friendly methods of burial as our population doubles from 7 billion to 14 billion to 28 billion in the coming century. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Virmou777 (talk • contribs) 21:44, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
