As a woman, she lives with the consequences of FGM everyday. She is determined that this form of abuse against young girls will end, and she wants to end it in her lifetime.
Khadija Gbla was born in Sierra Leone. Her family sought refuge in Australia in 2001 after enduring a thirteen-year civil war within her homeland.
Khadija strives to combine her African and Australian heritage and values in order to advocate acceptance and equality within the community. Khadija’s passion for her community and for giving young people a voice in our community continues to motivate her involvement in diverse community projects.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)

Every organ and even every cell in our body has circadian or 24 h clock. Circadian clocks turn on and off thousands of genes at the right time of the day or night. These rhythms work together to maintain healthy balance of brain chemicals, hormones, and nutrients. When our rhythms break down we are more likely to suffer from a wide range of diseases from depression to cancer. We can tune our daily habits of eating, sleeping or getting the right amount of light to sustain our circadian rhythms. Healthy rhythms nurture healthy body and healthy mind. Dr. Satchidananda Panda, a professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California. Satchin’s work deals specifically with the timing of food and it’s relationship with our biological clocks governed by circadian rhythm and also the circadian rhythm in general.
Professor Panda explores the genes, molecules and cells that keep the whole body on the same circadian clock. A section of the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) lies at the center of the body’s master clock and gets input directly from light sensors in the eyes, keeping the rest of the body on schedule. Panda discovered how these light sensors work, as well as how cellular timekeepers in other parts of the body function. He also uncovered a novel blue light sensor in the retina that measures ambient light level and sets the time to go to sleep and wake up every day.
In the process of exploring how the liver’s daily cycles work, Panda found that mice which eat within a set amount of time (12 hours) resulted in slimmer, healthier mice than those who ate the same number of calories in a larger window of time, showing that when one eats may be as important as what one eats. If the benefits of this “12-hour diet” hold true in humans, it could have profound impacts on treating overeating disorders, diabetes and obesity.
The circadian clock, he found, even mediates the immune system. Mice with a crucial circadian molecule missing had higher levels of inflammation in their bodies than other mice, suggesting that genes and molecules involved in the circadian clock could be drug targets for conditions linked to inflammation, such as infections or cancer.

Dans ce talk en Anglais, Edouard Jacqmin nous parle de son expérience de voyager à travers lEurope sans argent pendant 21 jours, et les conséquences que ce voyage a eu sur sa manière de voir les relations humaines.
La plupart d’entre nous rêvons de voyager. Mais beaucoup d’entre nous croient que nous ne pouvons pas à cause du manque d’argent. À 24 ans, j’ai voyagé en Europe de l’Est pendant 21 jours sans dépenser un seul centime. Un jour, j’ai vidé mon portefeuille et j’ai décidé de prendre la route. Traversant 5 pays différents, j’ai appris au cours de cette aventure incroyable 4 leçons que nous pouvons tous appliquer dans notre vie quotidienne.

Это канал Татьяны Лазаревой.
Все темы, сюжеты, приглашенные гости и эксперты ограничены только моими личными пожеланиями. Взрослое отношение к жизни, собственная осознанность и наша общая ответственность перед нашими детьми за то, что происходит сегодня в мире — вот, что меня волнует. И я знаю, что если то, чего я боюсь, становится для меня понятнее, если я этот страх называю и обсуждаю с кем-то, кто мне может все объяснить, — то мне становится не так страшно. Держитесь меня, будем разбираться вместе и ничего не бойтесь — Лазарева тут!
О волшебной силе науки, способной в одночасье перенести самодержца российского Ивана Васильевича Грозного в обычную московскую квартиру, а на его место отправить трусливого управдома и мелкого жулика. Однажды инженер Тимофеев испытал потрясение от собственного изобретения: начала действовать машина времени, соединив его квартиру с палатами великого государя Ивана Васильевича Грозного, который хоть и горевал по роскошной прежней жизни, однако в тоску и отчаяние в новой Москве не стал впадать. До этого знаменательного события в квартире молодого изобретателя находились домоуправ Бунша и уголовник Жорж, которые исчезли строго в обратном направлении…
Станислав Дробышевский. Лекция «Ухо жаброй не испортишь. Бесполезные части в человеке и чем они полезны»
30 января 2016, Центр современной культуры «Смена», Казань
Для чего человеку аппендикс, нужно ли избавляться от хвоста, где заканчиваются жабры и почему самая широкая мышца спины — самая бесполезная? Лекция посвящена частям человеческого тела, которые в процессе эволюции изменили свои функции или стали совсем бесполезны, но, возможно, пригодятся нам в будущем. Станислав Дробышевский — кандидат биологических наук, доцент кафедры антропологии биологического факультета МГУ им. М. В. Ломоносова.
