В этом выступлении 17-летний полиглот Тимоти Донер поделится историей о том, как он начал изучать языки, расскажет о своих приключениях в общении с прессой и о том, что помогло ему преодолеть трудности на этом пути.
Тим призывает нас изучать не только языки, но и культуры, которые они представляют.
Это выступление записано на мероприятии TEDx, независимо организованном местным сообществом с использованием формата конференций TED. Узнайте больше на ted.com/tedx
Многие идут в благотворительность, чтобы услышать “спасибо!” или получить какие-то позитивные эмоции. Но что, если вместо слов благодарности люди, которым вы помогаете, попытаются вас обмануть, унизить или ограбить? Как после этого найти в себе силы продолжать делать добрые дела? А главное, как ответить себе на вопрос — “Зачем я это делаю?”.
В своем выступлении на TEDxSadovoeRing Виктория Валикова рассказывает о том, что помогает ей не сойти с выбранного пути и почему так важно продолжать помогать людям не разделяя их на “плохих” и “хороших”. Виктория Валикова – врач-инфекционист из Уфы, тропиколог, уже много лет занимается организацией здравоохранения в странах с ограниченными ресурсами. Свое призвание Виктория нашла в джунглях Латинской Америки, где строится уже вторая клиника ее благотворительной организации Health
النجاح كلمة رائعة و هي تحقيق الذات و ذلك يكون عن طريق أفضل استغلال لطاقتك و ظروفك الجديدة. حتى تكون ناجح تحتاج لتطبيق عدة أمور و الالتزام التام بها. حتى تحقق النجاح يجب التخطيط له من أول اليوم حتى نهايته و هكذا فمسيرة النجاح طويلة تحتاج إلى المثابرة و الجد. كيف نبدأ كيف نخطط نكون.
About TEDx\u2028In 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)

Gene editing tools make it possible for us to manipulate the code of life. If we slightly modify the DNA of an orange we can obtain a tangerine. The old biology was used to observe stuff, the new biology can make it, it can redesign species. But what happens when we do it with human DNA? What happens when we decide to program cells? Renowned TED speaker Juan Enriquez gives us an outlook on the future of humankind in the post DNA-editing era and he explains the impact of new life-sciences on politics, business, technology, and society. Juan Enriquez is a life scientist, author, and futurist. He is the co-author of the book “Evolving ourselves: How Unnatural Selection and Nonrandom Mutation Are Shaping Life on Earth”. He is also the managing director of Excel Venture Management, a life sciences VC firm.

Kyle MacDonald details just exactly how he traded up from one red paperclip to a house, in only a year! Its an unlikely and amazing journey with lots of surprises along the way.
In this illuminating talk, high school mathematics teacher and YouTube star Eddie Woo shares his passion for mathematics, declaring that «mathematics is a sense, just like sight and touch» and one we can all embrace. Using surprising examples of geometry, he encourages everyone to seek out the patterns around us, for «a whole new way to see the world». A public high school teacher for more than 10 years, Eddie Woo gained international attention when he posted videos of his classroom lessons online, to assist an ill student. His YouTube channel, WooTube, has more than 200,000 subscribers and over 13 million views.
Eddie believe that mathematics can be embraced and even enjoyed by absolutely everybody. He was named Australias Local Hero and was a Top 10 Finalist in the Global Teacher Prize for his love of teaching mathematics.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Recent discoveries (many in my lab) on the links between type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease; translation of that lab work into real-life advice and consequences.
My work examines the role of metabolic processes in regulating brain function, and specifically in regulating memory processing. We use a variety of animal models to examine the behavioral and neurochemical impact of modulations including diet-induced insulin resistance, beta-amyloid, insulin, and recurrent hypoglycemia.
Key discoveries have included:
Drainage of glucose from the brain extracellular fluid at times of high cognitive demand, showing that glucose demand can exceed supply and be limiting for cognitive performance.
Altered brain glucose transport and diffusion in the aged brain.
A key role for insulin in hippocampal cognitive and metabolic processes; conversely, the impact of insulin resistance on hippocampal function.
The cognitive, metabolic and neural impact of recurrent hypoglycemia (RH), a key side-effect of insulin therapy that limits achievement of target blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Recently, the mechanistic links between RH and subsequent weight gain.
Mechanistic links between beta-amyloid and both (i) hippocampal metabolism and (ii) central insulin signalling.
A central role for GluT4 in hippocampal cognitive processes.
To date I have roughly 50 peer-reviewed journal papers with ~2500 citations, at an h-index of 26; my work has been funded by the NIH, ADA, JDRF, Alzheimer’s Association and several state and private grants. In addition, my lab has won awards for excellence in student research every year during my time at U.Albany, and I have several teaching and mentoring awards.
From a patient or layperson’s point of view, my work shows that lifestyle elements – such as lack of exercise, caffeine intake, drinking red wine, or overeating – have direct and measureable impact on brain function, diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, and risk of death. We can make specific recommendations for change, and show at the molecular level how choices made every day about diet – and even about things like doing a crossword instead of watching TV – affect your brain’s function.
