👁How friendship affects your brain
🧠Shannon Odell
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣If it seems like friendships formed in adolescence are particularly special, that's because they are. Childhood, adolescent, and adult friendships all manifest differently in part because the brain works in different ways at those stages of life. During adolescence, there are changes in the way you value, understand, and connect to friends. Shannon Odell explores the neuroscience of friendship. [Directed by Biljana Labović, narrated by Alexandra Panzer and Deidre Donovan, music by Jarrett Farkas and Weston Fonger].

🧠Fabio Pacucci
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣How do you know you're a person who has lived your life, rather than a just-formed brain full of artificial memories, momentarily hallucinating a reality that doesn't actually exist?

🧠Hei Man Chan
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👁Can the economy grow forever?
🧠 TED-Ed
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Many economists think that an eternally growing economy is necessary to keep improving people's lives, and that if the global economy stops growing, people would fight more over the fixed amount of value that exists, rather than working to generate new value. Which raises the question: is infinite growth possible on a finite planet? Explore how economies can balance efficiency with sustainability.

👁The next wave of innovation in freight
🧠Oren Zaslansky
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Throughout the US, millions of freight trucks are buzzing goods across state lines, producing massive amounts of greenhouse emissions -- and some of them are only half full.
