In this informative, bold talk, she shares three key ways that equity for women and girls can help stop global warming. \"Drawing down emissions depends on rising up,\" Wilkinson says.

👁The sweaty teacher's lament - Justin Lamb

👁The death of the universe - Renée Hlozek

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish
👣The shape, contents and future of the universe are all intricately related. We know that it's mostly flat; we know that it's made up of baryonic matter (like stars and planets), but mostly dark matter and dark energy; and we know that it's expanding constantly, so that all stars will eventually burn out into a cold nothingness. Renée Hlozek expands on the beauty of this dark ending.

👁The history of human emotions
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣The words we use to describe our emotions affect how we feel, says historian Tiffany Watt Smith, and they've often changed (sometimes very dramatically) in response to new cultural expectations and ideas. Take nostalgia, for instance: first defined in 1688 as an illness and considered deadly, today it's seen as a much less serious affliction. In this fascinating talk about the history of emotions, learn more about how the language we use to describe how we feel continues to evolve -- and pick up some new words used in different cultures to capture those fleeting feelings in words.
