👁Grief and love in the animal kingdom
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣From mourning orcas to distressed elephants, biological anthropologist Barbara J. King has witnessed grief and love across the animal kingdom. In this eye-opening talk, she explains the evidence behind her belief that many animals experience complex emotions, and suggests ways all of us can treat them more ethically -- including every time we eat. \"Animals don't grieve exactly like we do, but this doesn't mean that their grief isn't real,\" she says. \"It is real, and it's searing, and we can see it if we choose.\"

👁How small are we in the scale of the universe? - Alex Hofeldt

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish
👣In 1995, scientists pointed the Hubble Telescope at an area of the sky near the Big Dipper. The location was apparently empty, and the whole endeavor was risky – what, if anything, was going to show up? But what came back was nothing short of spectacular: an image of over 1,500 galaxies glimmering in a tiny sliver of the universe. Alex Hofeldt helps us understand the scale of this image.

👁Creative ways to get kids to thrive in school

You simply need smarter ways to think about using what you have, where you have it,\" she says.

👁What’s the difference between a scientific law and theory? - Matt Anticole

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English
