Joel Selanikio:令人惊讶的医疗保健大数据革新开端
收集关于全球健康的数据本是一个不完美的过程：工作人员徒步穿过村庄去挨家挨户敲门问问题，在纸质表格上写下答案，然后输入数据——然后从这满是漏洞的信息中，各个国家做出重大的决策。数据极客约尔·塞拉尼科谈论了在过去几十年来关于收集医疗健康数据的质的改变——从掌上电脑到Hotmail，现在又转移到云端。
Jonathan Drori:存蓄数十亿种子的原因
在TED U 2009的这个简短的演讲中，Jonathan Drori鼓励我们保护生物多样性 -- 从一颗颗种子做起。他提醒我们要保护人类赖以生存的植物，同时他也给大家描述了千年种子库这样一个美好的远景，在这里面，将会有逾30亿颗的种子被人类珍藏，这其中甚至还包括那些正日益减少但却必不可少的植物物种。
Joe Landolina:可以立即止血的凝胶
忘了伤口缝合吧——有更好的方法让伤口闭合。本 TED 演讲中，TED 伙伴 (TED Fellow) 演讲者 Joe Landolina 讲述他的发明——一种医用凝胶可以即刻停止创伤出血而不需要施加压力。(内含医学影像。)
Jeff IIiff: 一定要睡个好觉—有一个重要的原因！
大脑仅占人体重量的百分之二，却要消耗人体能量的四分之一。那么，这个独特的器官是如何汲取营养的，也许更重要的是，如何清除废物的呢？一些新的研究告诉你——通过睡眠
控制声乐学习行为的大脑通路 - Erich Jarvis P1

Erich Jarvis (Duke/HHMI) Part 1: Convergent behavior and brain pathways
In Part 1, Jarvis explains that vocal learning is the ability to hear a sound and repeat it. Only 5 groups of mammals (including humans) and 3 groups of birds (parrots, hummingbirds and songbirds) are capable of vocal learning. Jarvis and his lab members imaged changes in gene expression in bird's brains after singing. They found that hummingbirds, songbirds and parrots each have pathways in specific areas of the brain that are not found in non-vocal learning birds. Interestingly, analogous networks exist in the human brain but not in non-vocal learning monkeys.
In Part 2, Jarvis proposes a mechanism by which vocal learning may have evolved. He suggests that the brain areas that control vocal learning are the result of a duplication of a pre-existing neural circuit that controls motor movement. A similar duplication event may have occurred during the evolution of humans with the result that both humans and Snowball, a cockatoo, can sing and dance to a beat!
In Jarvis' third talk, he demonstrates that the brain pathways necessary for vocal learning are associated with the expression of particular axonal guidance genes. He also proposes that the evolutionary events responsible for the development of vocal learning may be a general mechanism for the development of other complex behavioral traits.

Alfredo Quinones-HinoJosa（Q博士）（霍普金斯达大学）：我是如何成为一名科学家
出生于墨西哥的Q博士，19岁时翻越美国边界的栅栏，成为加利福尼亚的一名农场工人。由于他自己的决心，努力工作和自律，以及来自家庭和朋友的大量支持，他离开了农场工作，完成了大学和医学院的学业，最终成为一位非常成功的医生、科学家和脑外科医生。
关于讲师：Alfredo Quinones-HinoJosa是约翰霍普金斯大学，神经外科学和肿瘤学，神经系统的细胞与分子医学的副教授，脑肿瘤外科手术的主任。Q博士作为一个专家外科医生，他致力于干细胞，在脑肿瘤的病因和治疗领域的研究。
Alfredo Quinones-HinoJosa (Dr. Q) (Johns Hopkins): How I Became a Scientist
At age 19, Quiñones-HinoJosa Jumped the fence from Mexico to become a farm worker in California. Thanks to his own determination, hard work and discipline and a lot of support from family and friends, he left farm work, completed university and medical school, and ultimately became a highly successful physician-scientist and brain surgeon.
About the speaker: Alfredo Quiñones-HinoJosa is an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and Oncology, Neuroscience and Cellular and Molecular Medicine and Director of the Brain Tumor Surgery Program at Johns Hopkins University. As well as being an expert surgeon, he researches the role of stem cells both in causing brain tumors and potentially in fighting them.

Jeremy Nathans (Johns Hopkins) Part 1A: Photoreceptors and Image Processing
In this set of lectures, Jeremy Nathans explores the molecular mechanisms within the retina that mediate the first steps in vision. The first lecture focuses on the structure of the light sensing receptors, the intracellular signals that are triggered by light absorption, and the ways in which the retina extracts information from a complex scene.
