Currently, there are more than 64 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, above 44 recoveries and almost 1.5 million deaths. The pandemic is surging in the U.S. and Europe. However, sub-Saharan African countries are responding better to COVID-19. This has confounded scientists and thought leaders. The answer lies in Africa’s experience responding to different infectious disease outbreaks simultaneously and investments in epidemic preparedness. In this talk, Dr. Ifeanyi M. Nsofor shares his experience leading EpiAFRIC’s evaluation of African Union’s response to the 2014/2015 Ebola outbreak in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Lessons learnt from that response led to the establishment of the African Centres for Disease Control to coordinate efforts across the continent and also increased investments in epidemic preparedness by member states. He draws examples from the work of Nigeria Centre for Disease Control to show that epidemic preparedness is more cost-effective and makes more business sense than waiting to just respond to an infectious disease outbreak. He shares lessons from Nigeria’s COVID-19 response and how they should guide future epidemic preparedness. He urges western nations to learn from Africa’s and Asia’s COVID-19 response. He reminds all that a future pandemic is inevitable. Therefore, the time to prepare is now. A graduate of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine is a Senior New Voices Fellow at the Aspen Institute and a Senior Atlantic Fellow for Health Equity at George Washington University.
Hes the CEO of EpiAFRIC and Director, Policy and Advocacy at Nigeria Health Watch. Since 2018, the #PreventEpidemicsNaija project has been advocating for increased budgetary allocation for epidemic preparedness in Nigeria.
As a thought Leader in Global Health, Ifeanyi has written over 68 opinion pieces with a global reach — his piece titled, “Why an Ebola Vaccine is Not Enough” has appeared in 18 publications in 16 countries; and published in 8 languages; appeared in over 4.3 million print copies; been seen over 36,000 times on Project Syndicate social media channels. In March 2020, Ifeanyi spoke at “Exploring Media Ecosystems Conference” at the Samberg Center of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was recognized by Onalytica to be among Coronavirus Top 100 healthcare professionals globally.

Что вы чувствуете, глядя на просторную комнату, где из вещей только место для сна, столик, шкаф для одежды и икебана в специально отведённом месте?
Вероятнее всего, спокойствие. Так традиционно жили японцы. Так может жить каждый из нас: минимализм – это не только стиль в дизайне интерьера.
Минимализм это культура и стиль жизни.
Татьяна Апретова – «минималист» с десятилетним стажем – расскажет о разумном потреблении и концепции «жизни без лишнего».
как выйти из круга перепотребления, перестать жить и работать только ради покупок,
как определить необходимое и достаточное,

Weve all heard of physical and mental health, but another important aspect to our overall health and wellbeing is social health. In fact, recently in the United States, the surgeon general revealed that social isolation and loneliness just topped obesity to claim second place as one of the top three killers in America.
Humans are highly social creatures, but that doesnt always mean that our social interactions are healthy. In this informative talk, Dr. Chelsea Shields, explains how our emotions can easily be high-jacked and then offers guidance on how to evaluate and level up our social health.
This presentation was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with only a limited live audience of cast and crew members. While applause has been added to the beginning and end of the video, all other aspects have intentionally remained as filmed to honor the struggle and loss experienced globally during 2020.
Wardrobe furnished by Tommaso Cardullo. Dr. Chelsea Shields is a bio-social anthropologist, placebo studies expert, and runs a local consulting business.
In her academic work, Dr. Shields focuses on the evolution and elicitation of the placebo effect outside medical contexts. She coined the concept of social susceptibility to talk about how and why our human bodies have evolved to react, adjust, and adapt to specific social rituals, relationships and communities. Her work also investigates the evolutionary mismatch of modern human hyper-sociality and the health implications of a global, digital, 24/7 social network.
In her professional work, Shields runs a research and strategy business that specializes in qualitative, quantitative, and ethnographic research as well as creative ideation, branding, and user-experience design.
Dr. Shields is also a TED Fellow, 3x TED speaker, and teaches speaker training that is focused on the 90% of communication we never talk about: the non-verbals!

Narda Pitkethly created a system that profoundly simplifies learning how to read. Watch how her system reduces illiteracy and many of its negative consequences. Narda Pitkethly moved to Japan after college and discovered the Japanese had created a simple method of learning to read, called Hiragana. Through their method, Narda learned to read Japanese in a week. Within three months, her comprehension allowed her to communicate freely in her home city of Fukuoka.
In 1988 Narda moved from Japan to Sun Valley because the small community and year-round outdoor activities enticed her. An accomplished glassblower, she often travels to Boise to create works of art.
When her daughter was identified as a challenged reader in the first grade, Narda discovered that English is one of the hardest languages in the world to learn to read, even for native speakers. Narda analyzed the English alphabet to understand why it is so difficult (1 in 4 children grow up without learning to read). She organized the letters in the same way the Japanese organized their Hiragana characters. Narda reveals an approach to the English language you have never seen before.

Талқылауға үйренбеген тақырыпта сөйлесуден қорқудың қажеті жоқ, себебі әңгімелесу — ақпарат алмасу, тіпті білім беру жолы болып табылады. Бұл YouTube-те қазақ тілінде «Жабық тақырып» атты каналды жүргізетін журналист Әсел Ергешқызының пікірі. Оның мақсаты — қазақстандықтардың жыныстық сауаттылығын арттыру. Жыныстық қатынас тақырыбы әрдайым өзекті болатынына қарамастан, бұл туралы ақпарат кеңістігінде ашық айтудың қажеті жоқ деп санайды көпшілік, бұл «Ұят». Адамдар бұл туралы сөз таластыруды жалғастыруда, дегенмен Әсел ойлануға уақыт жұмсамай, жай ғана осы тақырыпта сөйлеуді бастады.
Не нужно бояться говорить о том, что не принято обсуждать, ведь разговор — это обмен информацией и даже форма просвещения. Так считает журналист Асель Ергешқызы, которая ведет на YouTube казахскоязычный канал «Жабық тақырып». Его цель — повышение сексуальной грамотности казахстанцев. При том, что тема секса во все времена актуальна, часто считается, что говорить о ней открыто в информационном пространстве не нужно, что это “Ұят”. Люди продолжают спорить об этом, но Асель не стала тратить время на раздумья и просто начала говорить, к чему призывает и общество.
Асель Ергешкызы ведет на YouTube казахскоязычный познавательный канал «Жабық тақырып», цель которого — повышение сексуальной грамотности. В своих влогах она затрагивает вопросы интимных отношений между мужчиной и женщиной и говорит на темы, которые в казахстанском обществе зачастую считается стыдным открыто обсуждать. Асель привлекает врачей и психологов к консультациям и ответам на вопросы от своих подписчиков.
Имеет многолетний журналистский опыт, помимо развития влога работает шеф-редактором социального ток-шоу на национальном телевизионном канале.
