👁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.

👁Why it’s so hard to cure HIV/AIDS - Janet Iwasa
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish
👣In 2008, something incredible happened: a man was cured of HIV. In over 70 million HIV cases, this was a first, and, so far, a last, and we don’t yet understand exactly how he was cured. But if we can cure people of various diseases, like malaria and hepatitis C, why can’t we cure HIV? Janet Iwasa examines the specific traits of the HIV virus that make it so difficult to cure.

👁The power of women's anger
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣Anger is a powerful emotion -- it warns us of threat, insult, indignity and harm. But across the world, girls and women are taught that their anger is better left unvoiced, says author Soraya Chemaly. Why is that, and what might we lose in this silence? In a provocative, thoughtful talk, Chemaly explores the dangerous lie that anger isn't feminine, showing how women's rage is justified, healthy and a potential catalyst for change.

👁The life cycle of a neutron star

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English
👣About once every century, a massive star somewhere in our galaxy runs out of fuel. No longer able to produce sufficient energy to maintain its structure, it collapses under its own gravitational pressure and explodes in a supernova. The death of that star is the birth of a neutron star: one of the densest known objects in the universe. David Lunney explores what, exactly, a neutron star is.

👁Me Too is a movement, not a moment
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣In 2006, Tarana Burke was consumed by a desire to do something about the sexual violence she saw in her community. She took out a piece of paper, wrote \"Me Too\" across the top and laid out an action plan for a movement centered on the power of empathy between survivors. More than a decade later, she reflects on what has since become a global movement -- and makes a powerful call to dismantle the power and privilege that are building blocks of sexual violence. \"We owe future generations nothing less than a world free of sexual violence,\" she says. \"I believe we can build that world.\"

👁Museums should honor the everyday, not just the extraordinary
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣Who deserves to be in a museum? For too long, the answer has been \"the extraordinary\" -- those aspirational historymakers who inspire us with their successes. But those stories are limiting, says museum curator Ariana Curtis. In a visionary talk, she imagines how museums can more accurately represent history by honoring the lives of people both extraordinary and everyday, prominent and hidden -- and amplify diverse perspectives that should have always been included.

👁Empathy is not endorsement
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Digital creator Dylan Marron has racked up millions of views for projects like \"Every Single Word\" and \"Sitting in Bathrooms With Trans People\" -- but he's found that the flip side of success online is internet hate. Over time, he's developed an unexpected coping mechanism: calling the people who leave him insensitive comments and asking a simple question: \"Why did you write that?\" In a thoughtful talk about how we interact online, Marron explains how sometimes the most subversive thing you can do is actually speak with people you disagree with, not simply at them.
