When a gang lord told novelist Ryan Gattis to cut to the chase, he did. Surprising to the Chapman University professor was that the command was also a gift that released his creativity and helped guide him to the completion of his acclaimed novel about the Los Angeles riots of 1992, All Involved: A Novel of the 1992 L.A. Riots.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Gattis is also the author of novels Kung Fu High School and Roo Kickkick

Why do we like what we like? Raymond Loewy, the father of industrial design, had a theory. He was the all-star 20th-century designer of the Coca-Cola fountain and Lucky Strike pack; the modern sports car, locomotive, Greyhound bus and tractor; the interior of the first NASA spaceship; and the egg-shaped pencil sharpener. How did one man understand what consumers wanted from so many different areas of life? His grand theory of popularity was called MAYA: Most advanced yet acceptable. He said humans are torn between two opposing forces: neophilia, a love of new things; and neophobia; a fear of anything that’s too new. Hits, he said, live at the perfect intersection of novelty and familiarity. They are familiar surprises. In this talk, I’ll explain how Loewy’s theory has been validated by hundreds of years of research — and how we can all use it to make hits. Derek Thompson is a senior editor at The Atlantic, where he writes about economics, technology and media.

Поиск жизни вне Земли — захватывающая научная задача. Многие годы астрономы искали жизнь на внешних планетах и их спутниках (Марс, Европа, Титан), полагая, что холод не помеха для жизни (согреться всегда можно!), тогда как адский жар Венеры исключает надежду на жизнь земного типа. Но осенью 2020 г. эта надежда неожиданно возникла, и взгляды астробиологов устремились к Утренней звезде. Радиоастрономы объявили, что в облаках Венеры найден фосфин — продукт жизнедеятельности микроорганизмов. Однако через месяц их коллеги высказали сомнение в этом открытии. На фоне дискуссии о фосфине в облаках Венеры заметили аминокислоту глицин — составляющую наших белков. Поиск новых молекул жизни продолжается, и все уже понимают, что нужно готовить экспедицию в атмосферу Венеры. Какую жизнь мы надеемся там найти — внеземную или земную?

Спикер — астроном, кандидат физико-математических наук Владимир Георгиевич Сурдин.
