It was a randomized control study published in The Lancet.

You're here at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

I study how the brain processes information.

Okay, so to sum up, there is a lot of research evidence that early childhood programs, if run in a high quality way, pay off in higher adult skills.

And if we look at a very pristine environment like western Australia,

And I don't know why people chose m and b.

It shoots up and it keeps going up.

And it funds a lot of my research.

Some critics say, Oh, well software is stuck in the mud.

let alone over the course of our entire lives.

Well what is the implication of that?

They also stop passing on the virus.

Well, Bob Russell was telling us about his work on nanotubes in his research at the microscopic level.

Better arguing? That's the question.

It's the science of getting computers to learn without being explicitly programmed.

There's a huge amount of research in there, quite surprising how limited it is.

(Laughter)

My work is about the behaviors that we all engage in unconsciously, on a collective level.

If you think it's funny, bear in mind there is an organization called the American Institute of Wine Economics, which actually does extensive research into perception of things, and discovers that except for among perhaps five or ten percent of the most knowledgeable people, there is no correlation between quality and enjoyment in wine, except when you tell the people how expensive it is, in which case they tend to enjoy the more expensive stuff more.

The third mystery is this

We cannot selectively just numb the dark emotions.

The nice thing here is that you can't see who are the researchers in this picture.

And adequate iodine lowers your risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer.

One of their R amp D engineers was working on a way to make plastic stiffer.

There's now a lot of research being done in psychology on what makes people happy, and the two things that jump out in study after study

He advised me on my study.

What can we do here?

So what are you working on?

I work on the thing that kills more people than anything else kills

Cesar and I tried to write a piece for The New York Times Magazine explaining how this works.

Nevertheless, there might be some good reasons to think about aluminum.

So what's my message? Do exercise.

But I am also trying to make sanitary pad with the good cotton. It's not working.

By raising Bonobos in a culture that is both Bonobo and human, and documenting their development across two decades, scientists are exploring how cultural forces (Laughter) may have operated during human evolution.

Good morning everybody.

But it's fun to think about these things.

Rory is a graduate student at Stanford.

There are fixes.
