Orkar du med lite fakta?

Det blir lite extra mycket TED idag. Föreläsningar om skilda ämnen som jag tycker är viktiga och som jag hoppas att du också kommer att tycka är viktiga, intressanta och värda att titta och lyssna på.

Allt är inte fakta, en hel del är vinklingar, funderingar och ideér. Alla är däremot värda att sprida vidare och lyssna till.

Nu kör vi!

”Hold your breath,” says inventor Tom Zimmerman. ”This is the world without plankton.” These tiny organisms produce two-thirds of our planet’s oxygen — without them, life as we know it wouldn’t exist.

In this talk and tech demo, Zimmerman and cell engineer Simone Bianco hook up a 3D microscope to a drop of water and take you scuba diving with plankton. Learn more about these mesmerizing creatures and get inspired to protect them against ongoing threats from climate change.
