Un gène en moins, un clitoris en plus | Valérie Trichet | TEDxNantes
Si vous n’avez pas de gène SRY, alors vous avez le même super organe qu’elle. Lui, c’est le
clitoris, organe hautement sensible et mystérieux. Elle, elle vous raconte des histoires de génétique
et d’embryologie qui conduisent au développement d’un clitoris ou d’un pénis. Elle enseigne
l’histologie qui sous le microscope révèle combien le clitoris compte une multitude de corpuscules de
Messner et de Pacini. Ces organisations de cellules nerveuses produisent un éclair sensitif, une
explosion de joie. C’est la puissance de la jouissance qui peut faire peur et conduire à la censure ou
l’excision. Elle trace les contours de cet organe sensible et érectile, un bijou d’humanité entre unité
et diversité du vivant.If you don't have the SRY gene, then you have the same super organ as her : the clitoris, a highly
sensitive and mysterious organ. She tells stories of genetics and embryology that lead to the
development of a penis or a clitoris. She teaches histology, which shows under a microscope how the
clitoris contains a multitude of Messner’s and Pacinian corpuscles. These nerve cell structures
produce a sensitive flash, an explosion of joy. It's the power of orgasm that can frighten and lead to
censorship or excision. She traces the contours of this sensitive and erectile organ, a jewel of
humanity between the unity and diversity of life. Valérie Trichet, professeure des universités à la faculté de médecine à Nantes (France).Valérie Trichet, professor at Nantes University (France).Crédit photo : Fotocall

- 10:37Curiosity and the Cat | Tessa Parker | TEDxUC IrvineTessa Parker explores the beauty and frustration of the unknown, from the mystery of consciousness to the vastness of infinity. She reflects on how questions without answers can cause anxiety, but also fuel endless curiosity. Drawing from science, philosophy, and personal experience, Tessa makes a case for embracing uncertainty as a catalyst for growth. In a world full of unknowables, the pursuit of knowledge itself is what keeps us moving forward. Currently studying neurobiology at UCI (on exchange) as a recipient of the Fulbright Killam fellowship, she's interested in all things to do with the brain and health policy. Back home in Toronto, she is the president of her school's Pre-Medical society and in 2023, revived a non-profit in her hometown of Edmonton, which serves and connects with the homeless community on Sunday evenings every week. She hopes to pursue an MD-PhD, advocating for free and accessible healthcare along the way.
