ЗПШ-2017: Михаил Гельфанд "Молекулярная эволюция"


Мы привыкли думать про эволюцию в терминах анатомии и физиологии, однако в основе всего лежат изменения молекул — белков, РНК и ДНК. Сравнение геномов позволяет устанавливать родственные связи между современными живыми существами, описывать распространение устойчивости к антибиотикам у бактерий и лекарственной устойчивости у раковых клеток, моделировать работу иммунной системы. Оказывается, основы, заложенные еще Дарвином, удивительно хорошо подходят для описания и моделирования эволюции на молекулярном уровне.

Рассказывает Михаил Сергеевич Гельфанд, д.б.н., профессор, заместитель директора Института проблем передачи информации РАН, член Европейской Академии, член Общественного совета Минобрнауки.

Красиво жить можно или как превратить панельный дом во дворец | Михаил Швыганов | TEDxNovosibirsk


Как вы думаете, можно ли обычную панельную 10-ти этажку превратить в «Дом образцового содержания», в котором стены подъездов в итальянской плитке, керамогранитные полы, перила из нержавейки, бесшумные болгарские лифты, светодиодные светильники с оптико-акустическими датчиками, торцы дома утеплены и отделаны особо стойкой декоративной цветной штукатуркой, у подъездов пандусы, тротуары из брусчатки и многое другое?! Звучит как описание места, где живут олигархи, не правда ли?

А между тем, представьте себе, живут там обычные горожане, не потратившие ни одной лишней копейки сверх положенных платежей за обслуживание жилья!

И все это — благодаря нашему спикеру.
Михаил Швыганов (Нижний Новгород) — председатель правления ТСЖ «454», председатель Областного Союза «Единство ТСЖ и ЖСК». This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

La faute de lorthographe | Arnaud Hoedt Jérôme Piron | TEDxRennes


Nous avons été prof de français. Sommés de nous offusquer des fautes dorthographe, nous avons été pris pour les curés de la langue. Nous avons écrit pour dédramatiser, pour réfléchir ensemble et puis aussi parce quon a toujours pensé que lAcadémie Française avait un vrai potentiel comique.
«Les deux belges qui veulent simplifier la langue française»: tout est faux dans cette phrase. Pas «simplifier» mais bien faire preuve desprit critique, se demander si tout se vaut dans notre orthographe. Pas deux belges, mais bien deux curieux qui veulent transmettre le travail des linguistes de toute la francophonie, pas même la «langue française», seulement son orthographe. Car lorthographe, cest pas la langue, cest juste le code graphique qui permet de la retranscrire. Passion pour les uns, chemin de croix pour les autres, elle est sacrée pour tous. Et pourtant, il ne sagit peut-être que dun énorme malentendu. Arnaud Hoedt et Jérôme Piron sont linguistes de formation. Ils ont vécu 25 ans sans se connaître, mais c’était moins bien. Ils ont ensuite enseigné pendant 15 ans dans la même école. Quand Arnaud participe à la rédaction des programmes de français en Belgique, Jérôme se spécialise en médiation culturelle. En 2016, ils écrivent et mettent en scène le spectacle « La Convivialité », au Théâtre National de Bruxelles. Ce spectacle conférence qui traite de la question du rapport dogmatique à l’orthographe tourne depuis 3 ans dans toute la francophonie. Dans la foulée, ils publient l’ouvrage « La faute de l’orthographe », aux éditions Textuel. Ils se définissent comme suit: « Linguistes dilet(t)antes. Pédagogues en (robe de) chambre. Tentent de corriger le participe passé. Écrivent des trucs. Vrais-Faux Comédiens. Bouffeurs d’Académicien ».
A la question « est-ce que ça se dit? «, Arnaud et Jérôme répondent invariablement « oui, tu viens de le faire ». This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Look deeper -- write -- the wonders of writing | Nicoletta Demetriou | TEDxUniversityofNicosia


This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Nicoletta Demetriou beautifully describes the wonders of writing. In this TEDxUniversityofNicosia talk Nicoletta, an ethnomusicologist and tutor in creative writing, explains exactly how to go about writing in our everyday lives.

Nicoletta Demetriou studied music in Thessaloniki, Vienna, and London. Her PhD (School of Oriental and African Studies [SOAS], University of London, 2008) was in the field of ethnomusicology. Her research focuses on Cypriot traditional music, and particularly on how issues pertaining to ideology, politics, and identity influence the way traditional music is discussed and performed. She has also studied creative writing, specializing in life (auto/biographical) writing. Her current research is an attempt to bring ethnomusicology and life writing together, focusing on the lives of traditional music performers. Since 2012 Nicoletta has been a research fellow in ethnomusicology and life writing at Wolfson College, University of Oxford, and also a tutor in narrative non-fiction on Oxford’s Master of Studies in Creative Writing.

Cole Bennett came up with the idea for Lyrical Lemonade while still in High School. Through his talk, he walks through what it took to grow Lyrical Lemonade into what it is today along with how he navigated the music world. His talk emphasizes why having a passion for what you do can change the game and bring you success no matter the obstacle. As CEO of Lyrical Lemonade, Cole Bennett has produced some of hip hop’s most viewed videos. Entrepreneur Cole Bennett is not afraid to confront risks to move ideas and creative expression forward.

At the age of 22, Cole has now directed over 300 music videos for some of the most influential artists that have amassed over 2.8 billion views.
