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.
Основная загадка сна состоит в том, что в результате его лишения наступают множественные патологические изменения во всех внутренних органах организма за исключением головного мозга. В то же время наиболее яркие и интенсивно исследуемые изменения при переходе от бодрствования ко сну наблюдаются именно в работе коры головного мозга. Факты, открывшиеся в ходе экспериментального исследования этого вопроса, меняют устоявшиеся представления, как о назначении сна, так и о положении коры больших полушарий в иерархии структур мозга.
Мир охватила настоящая эпидемия ожирения. В репортажах из разных стран периодически можно увидеть людей весом и в 300, и в 400, и даже 500 килограммов. В чем причина? Почему население планеты…

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)
The United States accounts for five percent of the worlds population but consumes almost 70 percent of the total global opioid supply, creating an epidemic that has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths each year. How did we get here, and what can we do about it? In this personal talk, Travis Rieder recounts the painful, often-hidden struggle of opioid withdrawal and reveals how doctors who are quick to prescribe (and overprescribe) opioids arent equipped with the tools to eventually get people off the meds. Travis Rieder, PhD, is the Assistant Director for Education Initiatives, Director of the Master of Bioethics degree program and Research Scholar at the Berman Institute of Bioethics.
Travis’ work tends to fall into one of two, quite distinct research programs. The first concerns ethical and policy questions about sustainability and planetary limits. Much of this research has been on issues in climate change ethics and procreative ethics with a particular focus on the intersection of the two – that is, on the question of responsible procreation in the era of climate change. The second research program concerns ethical and policy issues surrounding America’s opioid epidemic.
In addition to his more scholarly writing, Travis is firmly committed to doing bioethics with the public. He writes regularly for The Conversation and blogs occasionally at The Huffington Post and the Berman Institute Bioethics Bulletin. 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
Human beings and computers alike share the challenge of how to get as much done as possible in a limited time. Over the last fifty or so years, computer scientists have learned a lot of good strategies for managing time effectively — and they have a lot of experience with what can go wrong. Brian Christian shares how we can use some of these insights to help make the most of our own lives.
