👁\"Good\" and \"bad\" are incomplete stories we tell ourselves
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Heather Lanier's daughter Fiona has Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, a genetic condition that results in developmental delays -- but that doesn't make her tragic, angelic or any of the other stereotypes about kids like her. In this talk about the beautiful, complicated, joyful and hard journey of raising a rare girl, Lanier questions our assumptions about what makes a life \"good\" or \"bad,\" challenging us to stop fixating on solutions for whatever we deem not normal, and instead to take life as it comes.

👁 Why is this painting so shocking? - Iseult Gillespie

How can we make sense of this overwhelming image, and what makes it a masterpiece of anti-war art? Iseult Gillespie investigates.

👁Can we cure genetic diseases by rewriting DNA?
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣In a story of scientific discovery, chemical biologist David R. Liu shares a breakthrough: his lab's development of base editors that can rewrite DNA. This crucial step in genome editing takes the promise of CRISPR to the next level: if CRISPR proteins are molecular scissors, programmed to cut specific DNA sequences, then base editors are pencils, capable of directly rewriting one DNA letter into another. Learn more about how these molecular machines work -- and their potential to treat or even cure genetic diseases.

👁Dark matter: The matter we can't see - James Gillies

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English
👣The Greeks had a simple and elegant formula for the universe: just earth, fire, wind, and water. Turns out there's more to it than that -- a lot more. Visible matter (and that goes beyond the four Greek elements) comprises only 4% of the universe. CERN scientist James Gillies tells us what accounts for the remaining 96% (dark matter and dark energy) and how we might go about detecting it.
