The Ted talks are fascinating short video talks & presentations about a wide range of topics, mostly science based, that are well worth a view.
A recent talk from Dr. Seyi Oyesola, an anaesthetics & ICU consultant originally from Nigeria but working in the UK, entitled ‘Rich Hospital, Poor Hospital’ was an interesting insight into the challenges and short-comings in your typical major African hospital in the acute care setting as opposed to primary care, the area that usually gets the most attention.
The innovations created for African countries that are featured at the end of the video are so simple and so clever.
Another two videos I highly recommend are ‘My Stroke of Insight’ by Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroscientist who recounts the day she had a huge stroke.
Also ‘The Amazing Intelligence of Crows’ by Joshua Klein who created a ‘vending machine’ for crows, you will be amazed at how clever these birds are.
