[Applause] [Music] Do you remember when the news felt real from the literal feel of the newspaper in your hands, the smudges of newsprint on your fingertips, the content on those pages that felt relevant to your life. There was the latest on the schoolboard race, the intrigue at city council, an update on that road construction project we've been driving around for months. When are they going to finish that thing.And most importantly, how much is it going to cost us as taxpayers. There was the fun stuff, to ...

If I gave you £100 right now, what would you do with it. Buy the latest game, put it into savings, or maybe invest it. Whatever you choose, you'd probably feel confident it was the rational choice.That's normal. We all tend to think this way. But the answer to this question reveals much more than it seems.It opens a window into how we think about money, how we behave with it, and what we truly value. Take a student with £25. They could join a coding workshop that strengthens their CV and builds skills. Or t ...

You're scrolling. You come across a post that you agree with. So, you tap like.You keep scrolling and two or three posts later, something similar comes up. As you begin to engage with it, you may start to realize that every single post in your feed agrees with those ideas. And crucially, there are no opposing ideas present.You're stuck in an echo chamber. Sound familiar. This happens to most of us all the time and we often pass it off as harmless.But what if I told you that these echo chambers are actually ...

Imagine yourself last summer on the plane turning into land on your dream holiday. Ignoring the crying baby on your left and a seat reclined to your face. You may choose to look outside instead.And on the edge of the wing, you will often notice some mechanisms, some disjointed, disconnected surfaces moving up and down with a mechanical worring sound. Now bring yourself to the future. It's quiet, smooth, seamless transitions all along this shape-shifting wing.Last summer, I embarked on an independent researc ...

On the 29th of November 2018, the world woke up to a headline which sounded like science fiction. The first genetically modified humans had been born. The scientist who created them is now in prison.But the technology which made them possible has not gone away. When you hear the term genetically modified, your mind might jump to ideas of designer babies edited to be taller, prettier, cleverer. However, this was not the case here.Hajjangqui was the first scientist to use gene editing to disable the CCR5 gene ...

When people hear the word dimension, it's often considered mysterious, such as from blockbuster films. But in reality, the concept is actually quite simple. A dimension is, simply put, an independent direction you can move in.Let's begin with the first dimension. You can imagine this as a line, one that stretches forwards and backwards. You can also add the second dimension which allows movement up and down too.Look on a flat sheet of paper. Add the third dimension, depth, and that's the universe we live in ...

[Music] Please give a warm welcome to Sua Imran Motin. These nerves, not you guys, me. Well, the reason I bring that up is because this is a very familiar feeling.I remember standing in front of my class as a first year medical student, white coat buttoned, stethoscope around my neck, surrounded by prospective doctors. I recall feeling like I'm included amongst the healthc care of America, the future, right. But the distinct discomfort of being an impostor overcame me inescapably, I thought, how did I get h ...

Eu quero começar aqui hoje falando com vocês sobre um dia comum, sobre um dia normal e sobre um dia que todos vocês conhecem, o dia em que vocês passaram de alguma forma desapercebido. Eu quero falar com vocês sobre o dia 29 de março de 2008. Quem aqui sabe o que estava fazendo no dia 29 de março? Quem aqui sabe onde tava, o que fazia por volta de umas 11 horas da noite. Eu sei onde eu tava. Eu sei exatamente onde eu estava, o que eu estava fazendo. Eu só não sabia o que me esperava naquele momento. No dia ...

[Music] Vagina. Vagina. Yes, I said it in front of you all on a stage into a microphone. And guess what? The world didn't end. But let's be honest, some of you flinched. Some of you looked down. And some of you might be still wanting this to turn into a joke. >> It won't. I say it every day. I'm a doctor. I'm an aesthetic gynecologist. And I talk about vaginas all day. Not in secrecy, not in shame, not in whisper, not as something dirty, embarrassing or as a taboo. I am an aesthetic gynecologist. I talk abo ...

The universe is falling apart and it has been since the beginning of time. This all comes down to one thing. Entropy, the measure of disorder.Consider a jar of bees. All safely contained under the lid. Together they are compact and organized.Great at making honey. But now say I unscrewed that lid. Watch as the bees fly all over the space.Some will go backstage. Some will fly underneath the seats. Some will even find their way out of here.Suddenly, they're impossible to collect back up, and they're no good a ...
