Let's transform energy -- with natural gas - T. Boone Pickens

The US consumes 25% of the world's oil -- but as energy tycoon T. Boone Pickens points out onstage, the country has no energy policy to prepare for the inevitable. Is alternative energy our bridge to an oil-free future? After losing $150 million investing in wind energy, Pickens suggests it isn't, not yet. What might get us there? Natural gas. After the talk, watch for a lively Q&A with TED Curator Chris Anderson. Talk by T. Boone Pickens. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

Should you donate your DNA to help cure diseases? - Greg Foot

Discover how scientists are using crowdsourced DNA to find the causes of untreatable diseases, and developing new drug treatments for them. -- When scientists don't know the cause of a medical condition, developing a drug treatment takes significant trial and error, and lots of money— which is why we only have drugs for a small proportion of diseases. Researchers are hoping to change this using crowdsourced DNA. So how does this work, and what do your genes have to do with it? Greg Foot digs into the science of therapeutic targets. Lesson by Greg Foot, directed by Pierangelo Pirak.

How to read music - Tim Hansen

Like an actor's script, a sheet of music instructs a musician on what to play (the pitch) and when to play it (the rhythm). Sheet music may look complicated, but once you've gotten the hang of a few simple elements like notes, bars and clefs, you're ready to rock. Tim Hansen hits the instrumental basics you need to read music. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]
