“Plastic isn’t a problem itself. It’s how we produce it, how we use it and how we dispose of it,” says biotechnologist Patricia Aymà Maldonado, 2025 TED Fellow. Her solution? Train bacteria to turn organic waste into a new type of plastic — without producing microplastics. Watch her TED Fellows Film: ted.com/talks/patricia…

Where should we set the bar for evidence? Excited to share the first in a new video series, made with the support of @TEDFellow program. This series explores how we can make sense of a noisy, uncertain world. What is really happening? What should we do about it? And how can we communicate these things to others? You can watch the full video here (and hit subscribe for future updates - there will be a new video each week) youtube.com/watch?v=qXbdBY… These initial videos give a short, sharp overview in 4-6 mins. But would love to hear what you would find most valuable. Longer deep dives? More frequent short clips? Let me know!
