El reactor nuclear de hace dos mil millones de años | Alfredo García Fernández | TEDxReus
Hace 2000 millones de años, en Gabón existió un reactor nuclear natural que generó varias toneladas de residuos radiactivos sin afectar a su entorno. La naturaleza nos muestra como es posible gestionar esos residuos, a pesar del miedo y rechazo generalizados. Con este ejemplo, Alfredo nos muestra como la energía nuclear puede contribuir a la mitigación del cambio climático de forma segura.

- 9:46Why did no one warn me? Women's ACL injuries | Isabelle Brown | TEDxFrancisHollandSchoolSloaneSquare5 months ago, I tore my ACL, but could it have been prevented? In this eye-opening talk, I will challenge the assumptions baked into sports medicine: Why aren't young athletes taught to prevent injuries? How can we overcome gendered environments? And can your menstrual cycle play a role? Combining personal experience with sharp insights, I invite you to question the silence, the systems and the science that failed to warn me and countless others. A huge amount of recognition should also go out to Joanne L Parsons, Stephanie E Coen, and Sheree Bekker for their landmark paper on ACL injures: Parsons JL, Coen SE, Bekker S. Anterior cruciate ligament injury: towards a gendered environmental approach. British Journal of Sports Medicine 2021;55:984-990. See: https://www.instagram.com/power_up_to_play/?hl=en — a brilliant charity pioneering efforts to reduce knee injuries through evidence-based warm-ups. Isabelle Brown is a 17 year old A-Level student studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths. Izzy has an avid interest in medicine and the healthcare industry and has decided to do her talk on a topic that both lends itself towards her personal life and academic interests.
