👁The surprising science of alpha males
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣In this fascinating look at the \"alpha male,\" primatologist Frans de Waal explores the privileges and costs of power while drawing surprising parallels between how humans and primates choose their leaders. His research reveals some of the unexpected capacities of alpha males -- generosity, empathy, even peacekeeping -- and sheds light on the power struggles of human politicians. \"Someone who is big and strong and intimidates and insults everyone is not necessarily an alpha male,\" de Waal says.

(Hint: appoint someone to be the devil's advocate in your life.)

👁What do we do when antibiotics don't work any more?
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Penicillin changed everything. Infections that had previously killed were suddenly quickly curable. Yet as Maryn McKenna shares in this sobering talk, we've squandered the advantages afforded us by that and later antibiotics. Drug-resistant bacteria mean we're entering a post-antibiotic world -- and it won't be pretty. There are, however, things we can do ... if we start right now.
