Moving from epidemic response to epidemic preparedness | Dr. Ifeanyi Nsofor | TEDxPortHarcourt


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.

ТЕМА: «Хищник Нежность. Встречи с китами»
Мы расскажем о нашем опыте непосредственного общения с китами, прежде всего — с кашалотами, которые являются самыми крупными хищниками на планете. Одновременно — это едва ли не самые загадочные существа с удивительными способностями, о которых до сих пор крайне мало известно. Они обладатели самого большого и высокоорганизованного в природе мозга (20 кг) и самого гигантского сердца (кубический метр в объеме). Несколько лет экспедиций к семейству кашалотов целиком меняют масштаб нашего восприятия вселенной и разумной жизни. Мы покажем уникальные фото- и видеоматериалы, до сих пор не публиковавшиеся.

Тайм-менеджмент, дискриминация и чувство вины | Александр Сорокоумов | TEDxNiamiha


This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Что, если все книги по тайм-менеджменту были написаны лишь для рациональной половины человечества? Что делать, если вы принадлежите ко второй половине? Если все ваши усилия по планированию приводят к нулевым результатам? Как избавится от чувства вины при виде бесконечного списка отложенных дел? И можно ли выжить во всем этом хаосе?

How Hope Can Change Your Life | Amy Downs | TEDxOklahomaCity


Can a person overcome the most difficult moments of their life? Amy Downs shows how people can not only survive, but how they can thrive if they have a hopeful mindset. The pathway of hope leads to all people creating a better future. Amy Downs was one of the last survivors to be pulled from the rubble of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing in which a total of 168 people were killed including 18 of her 33 co-workers. While buried alive and waiting to die, she realized she had never really lived. She began her career as a teller 32 years ago working for Federal Employees Credit Union located in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. At the time of the bombing, Downs was a credit card loan officer who flunked out of college and weighed more than 350 pounds. In the coming years, she’d not only lose 200 pounds, but become a triathlete—and even compete in an Ironman Triathlon. She’d not only go back to school, but she’d graduate with a Masters of Business Administration. She’d not only get promoted by Federal Employees Credit Union (who would soon change their name to Allegiance Credit Union) but she eventually became its CEO—an award winning CEO, no less.
