Joshua Chu-Tan: The science of preserving sight | TED

[@GlennSteffy]

This genre of presentations is EXACTLY why I have subscribed to TED TALKS !!!!!

[@TomNook.]

I subscribed to be lectured on world views

[@legotj758]

Already

[@John-co6mo]

Wow I'm blown away. That was amazing. I love how educational these short talks are & i love how science is always evolving, and i totally agree that quality is way more important than time. I always said I'd rather die at 60, knowing i had a quality lifestyle, than to live to 80 & suffer poor health. I'm so thankful for the micro RNA research, it's going to be a huge game changer. Thanks for sharing TED.

[@keeds222]

Extremely well-presented! His delivery, analogies, and style were exceptional 😍

[@raxittyagi]

This was absolutely what you would expect from a scientific talk, no beating around the bush and delivering clear speech with personification to get to a clear understanding.Just loved it

[@anjali8803]

For everyone who is thinking its just "WE ARE WORKING ON IT" you might not be aware how valuable this video is in the Medical and science department, How it's an invitation for every reserch students to work on the same and to one day actually make it happen. It might be a great topic for PhD, and medical marketing authorities.

[@elmarwolters2751]

Such a good presentation ! I do feel I understand the issue now. Thank you so much and all the best with your work . Young scientists like you give me hope for a better world .

[@alliemcdonald9806]

OUTSTANDING presentation! It is a real gift to be able to reduce such complex material to its simplest terms so the average person can understand it. Thank you, Joshua Chu-Tan, for sharing your gift with us.

[@TomNook.]

Great talk, no bullshit.

[@333patti]

Well done - compassionate science!

[@invox9490]

Great Talk. I hope it gets the funding it needs... Because WE need it.

[@jahidulislamzihad6229]

Great presentation, listened with fascination ❤️

[@PedroCarvalho-lb7qx]

Great TED talk, great topic and great delivery by the speaker

[@SperoChildInternational]

This is extremely interesting and educative.

[@robertschlesinger1342]

Excellent video. Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.

[@tianwenma8598]

我好喜欢他的表达方式，流畅优美，而且演讲方式落落大方，学习的目标！

[@Rezin_8]

My first eye disection was amazing 🤯 The iris like a circle comb gliding on a pupil hockey puck....the inner lining of the human eye is dull, but a sheep has luminescent film (night vision)....I always thought we could alter eye disease with stem cell research, but Bush shut that down the same year 😔

[@l01230123]

I had a similar experience dissecting a cow's eye, the retina was surprisingly pretty. Shutting down stem cell research was a huge disappointment to numerous scientists, and thankfully finding another source took away a lot of stigma 🙂 (plus this technology sounds amazing!)

[@joanakinyi990]

Wow!what a good presentation, longevity is not the answer the answer is quality

[@privatebryan1924]

Amazing talk!

[@nandikas.s3748]

Longevity is not the answer. Quality is the answer. >>>>

[@Goooogle]

Why not both?

[@nandikas.s3748]

@@Goooogle it depends on how you want to live

He sounds like an Intel CEO at 1:53

[@shzyszn]

LOL

[@SperoChildInternational]

Genius ❣️. We love this ❣️

[@tranthang9541]

The topic is very good! I can learn a lesson from it.

[@平和-v1z]

Very important and well explained topic

[@khairallahalhjri5616]

Thank you

Very good Ted talk

Mulțumesc,pe nerăsuflate v-am ascultat 🤗🤗🤗

[@Abell_lledA]

One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates 🎈

[@trentmora8094]

Dissipates to brahman?

[@mr.c2485]

If you were blind the illusion of self would change for the better. Vision is an enemy…not a gift.

[@Mercury-Wells]

This whole speech is basically "we're working on it"

[@optimistickrishiv843]

LMAO THANKS U J&UST SAVED ME 14 MINUTES

[@rojas70]

One thing that remains is to understand why AMD happens and how that process could be stopped, prevented, or reversed.

[@jamshidnikkerdar2074]

Great 👍 👌

[@JakeHussDrums]

I need a TED talk on why we aren’t supposed to sit close to the TV and how VR is any different

[@The_Arcadian]

TVs used to be radioactive. It’s a holdover belief from then. It’s perfectly safe to sit close to a modern tv.

[@nandikas.s3748]

And cause you will get myopia soon.. So

[@toni4729]

Type 2 as well can cause this problem and I don't want to go blind so sugar is off my diet. My eyesight is bad enough now.

[@HakuCell]

1 in 7 will develop this disease? damn that's concerning

[@High-Tech-Geek]

Something doesn't make sense. You said in humans, 124 gets overwhelmed by disease and stops being produced. But in your test animals that have undergone retinal damage, the animals would still be producing normal amounts of 124 since they didn't have any disease. How can you then take the results of your experiments on animals and expect them to translate to human eyes?

[@orangecaprinun]

when he said the animals have undergone retinal damage, that means that, they are no longer producing 124 as a result of the disease.

[@RantTherapist]

The first thing I saw today when I first opened my eyes was my own disappointment.

[@marz.6102]

Login it

[@orangecaprinun]

if u dont want to get AMD, just simply go with Intel

[@Rezin_8]

Why I invested in a certain RNA shot company 😉 3 years now

[@Rezin_8]

I enjoy the printer analogy, the Ikea is foreign to me (handyman) 😅

[@Rezin_8]

Were the injections into the vitrius? How was the pressure in the eye?

[@welkinator]

You can certainly say that when you are only 35 years old.

[@totalfreedom45]

Longevity *_and_* quality are the answer. Within 200 years (2222), science and technology will beat all diseases. The only thing, however, getting in the way of us living 1000 years or more is entropy. 💕 ☮ 🌎 🌌

[@mr.c2485]

Bad idea. The Carrying capacity of the planet has a finite value.

[@sab611]

Interesting but he draws all the conclusions for you.

[@Brannee248]

Really? Do you get the last point from the conclusion? Did you know how to cure this disease? I wish he could provide more detailed resources and research data on its treatment and result !! How about you?

[@Unknown-tr6sp]

[@memalang94]

Lectured by a guy wearing glasses 🤭

[@yorimarten6534]

Second

[@neverumindwho]

Can't take this seriously if he thinks I see 'darkness' just because my eyes are closed. I see far more stuff with my eyes closed than with them open, the images never really stop. No problem with him wanting to make a point, but he should have been realistic when doing it.

[@Goooogle]

What? That's not normal. When people close their eyes, what they usually see is darkness. What is it that you see when you close your eyes?

[@jagadeesanc7227]

Whatever you want to see you can see. Practice is the key.

[@victornoagbodji]

He was realistic. Maybe you are being a little bit hasty. He mentioned both the darkness and the images you see.

[@sanrawatin]

[@endthedisease]

Why is Tedx being hosted at a megachurch. That seems oxymoronic to the progress of science.

[@markswanson1564]

Because Southern METHODIST U. & the Westin SAINT Francis in SAN Francisco weren’t available?! “Christchurch” is a city in New Zealand! Jeez … Oh, sorry- now I’m doing it!
