    The 3 best predictors of how well you’ll age - Juulia Jylhävä

    Explore how our bodies change and age over time, and the three common markers scientists use to measure aging.--If you want to learn a tree’s age, you can count their rings. When it comes to humans, scientists have yet to find any visible traits that mark our age with the same specificity. But in the past few decades, they’ve discovered small, invisible markers hidden within the body that do change over time. Juulia Jylhävä shares what these markers can tell us about our health, history, and future.Lesson by Juulia Jylhävä, directed by Flaka Kokolli, Diellza Franca, Flammorum Animation Studio.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-3-best-predictors-of-how-well-youll-age-juulia-jylhavaDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-3-best-predictors-of-how-well-youll-age-juulia-jylhava/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.flammorum.comMusic: https://www.workplaywork.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    Why are cockroaches so hard to kill? - Ameya Gondhalekar

    Dig into the genetic adaptations of cockroaches, and find out what makes it so hard to get rid of these tenacious creatures.--In ancient Egypt, there was a spell that declared, “Be far from me, O vile cockroach.” Thousands of years later, we’re still trying to oust these insects. But from poison traps to brandished slippers, cockroaches seem to weather just about everything we throw at them. So, what makes cockroaches so hard to kill? Ameya Gondhalekar digs into the genetic wonders of this troublingly tenacious creature.Lesson by Ameya Gondhalekar, directed by Irida Zhonga.In order to visualize and dramatize the lives of these fascinating creatures, the artists have chosen to playfully anthropomorphize cockroaches. In real life cockroaches don’t dine like humans, go shopping for organic matter, and most unfortunately, don’t wear lederhosen (at least, to the best of our knowledge).Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-are-cockroaches-so-hard-to-kill-ameya-gondhalekarDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-are-cockroaches-so-hard-to-kill-ameya-gondhalekar#digdeeperAnimator's website: http://www.iridazhonga.comMusic & sound: https://www.philbrookes.com & https://www.instagram.com/philbrookesuk----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    How the lead industry lied to the public for decades - Gerald Markowitz and David Rosner

    Explore the ways that lead exposure can harm the human body, and why this toxic element can be found in so many products.--Lead is a metallic element that’s distributed across Earth’s crust. When it enters the human body, it can disrupt many critical processes that span various systems, producing a diverse set of symptoms. So, just how bad is lead for human health? And if it’s really that dangerous, how did it get into so many products? Gerald Markowitz and David Rosner dig into the lethal history of lead.Lesson by Gerald Markowitz and David Rosner, directed by Tim Rauch.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-lead-affects-your-body-gerald-markowitz-and-david-rosnerDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-lead-affects-your-body-gerald-markowitz-and-david-rosner/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://timrauchanimation.weebly.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    What lack of sleep does to the teenage brain - Wendy Troxel

    Dig into how sleep deprivation affects the teenage body and brain, and what can be done to help adolescents get enough sleep.--Sleep deprivation among American teenagers is an epidemic. Only about 1 in 10 teens gets the 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night recommended by sleep scientists and pediatricians. So, what’s going on? And what changes can be made to address this issue? Wendy Troxel shares how early school start times and public policy are depriving adolescents of sleep at a time when they need it most.Directed by Laura Jayne Hodkin.This is an animated adaptation of a TEDx Talk given by Wendy Troxel. You can watch the talk in full here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS6lFDVR-3gEducation is the ultimate idea worth spreading.

  8. Why Libya's revolution didn't work -- and what might - Zahra' Langhi

    HACE 6 H

    Why Libya's revolution didn't work -- and what might - Zahra' Langhi

    In Libya, Zahra' Langhi was part of the "days of rage" movement that helped topple the dictator Gaddafi. But -- then what? In their first elections, Libyans tried an innovative slate of candidates, the "zipper ballot," that ensured equal representation from men and women of both sides. Yet the same gridlocked politics of dominance and exclusion won out. What Libya needs now, Langhi suggests, is collaboration, not competition; compassion, not rage. Talk by Zahra' Langhi.
