Epidemics in orbit: How space debris is going viral | Rachel Sholder | TEDxJHU
Rachel reframes the growing crisis of space debris through an unexpected lens: epidemiology. Drawing parallels between orbital collisions and the spread of infectious disease, she introduces space epidemiology, a framework that models debris cascades using public health tools like SIR models. By sho
After the plague comes the light | Tudor Faur | TEDxQuestfield Intl College Youth
This talk reframes epidemics not only as moments of tragedy, but as powerful forces that quietly reshape the world we live in. Moving from the Black Death to COVID-19, the speaker reveals how epidemics have transformed everyday life, culture, technology, health systems, and economies—often in ways w
The Missing Link in Global Health | Camilo Rodriguez | TEDxRMIT Melbourne City
Currently, diseases and outbreaks are only detected when a community falls sick, but what if we could detect outbreaks before they even happen? In his talk, Camilo talks about a breakthrough technology which aims to detect pathogens in the air to stop outbreaks before they even happen. With a diver
