👁We need leaders who boldly champion inclusion
🧠June Sarpong
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣We know diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) boosts creativity and profits, but progress has been slow: today, nearly 90 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs are white males. It's time for leaders to become "rock stars" of inclusion -- and that starts with pushing through discomfort to forge new connections, says veteran broadcaster and diversity leader June Sarpong. She presents examples of successful, creative DEI efforts and calls for leaders at the top to make the first move. "When it comes to diversity and inclusion, we need bold disruptors who are uncomfortable with the status quo, even if the status quo benefits them," Sarpong says.

👁4 ways to design a disability-friendly future
🧠Meghan Hussey
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Nearly fifteen percent of the world's population lives with a disability, yet this massive chunk of humanity is still routinely excluded from opportunities. Sharing her experience growing up with an autistic sister, disability inclusion advocate Meghan Hussey illuminates the path towards an inclusive future in four steps, and it starts with an attitude check on assumptions and stereotypes. Designing a world built for everyone is not a "nice to have," Hussey says -- it's critical to the fabric of society.

👁Climate action's hidden opportunities for women
🧠Zineb Sqalli
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Climate action has historically had a gender-neutral lens, but this lack of intentionality allows underlying biases to sneak in and negatively impact women, says gender and climate researcher Zineb Sqalli. Using Vienna, Austria's gender-equal urban planning program as a model for how women can be included in every step of building a green economy, Sqalli offers solutions for advancing both sustainability and gender equality – at the same time.

🧠 TED-Ed
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 1972, psychologists at the University of Colorado surveyed 140 couples to determine whether a relationship facing parental disapproval was more likely to strengthen or crumble under the pressure.

🧠Olga Kitaina

👁How does alcohol cause hangovers?
🧠Judy Grisel
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣The molecule responsible for hangovers is ethanol, which we colloquially refer to as alcohol.

So, how exactly does alcohol cause a hangover— and is there any way to prevent one? Judy Grisel explores the surprising ways that alcohol affects the body.

🧠Andrew Lovering
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣If you teleported from sea level to the top of Mount Everest, things would go bad fast. At an altitude of 8,848 meters, you would likely suffocate in minutes.
