What if we could use biology to restore our balance with nature without giving up modern creature comforts? Advocating for a new kind of environmentalism, scientist and entrepreneur Emily Leproust rethinks modern sustainability at the molecular level, using synthetic biology to create green alternatives. From lab-developed insulin and disease-resistant bananas to airplanes made of super-strong spider silk, she explains how reading and writing DNA can lead to groundbreaking innovations in health, food and materials.

Number one Quote, The Greatest Challenge in Life is Discovering who you are.
😂😂😂😂
we are nothing bro there is no purpose in life that's the reality , we create one that's it
This is the perfect top comment for this video.
The greatest challenge in life is gaining control of one's self
You are a human being. Life is the purpose - it is not a philosophical question. You are to eat and to multiply. Why are we making it so complicated? Simple; we are aware of our limited days. But they are limited only in self-centered, subjective sense. In truth, we are immortal, but to realize this, one must be aware in the objective sense - reach mental maturity, accept death as essential to life as birth.
Some people in the comments here really should just go away and leave the internet...
Preferably leave the 🌎
Is it a guy or a girl. Asking for a friend.
@@petyrbaelish1216 don't know. Don't care. Go f* a cactus.

@@musclee-mac8768 we will call it sheit. Until we get more data.
It's much easier to get behind the idea of synthetic materials than the idea of synthetic foods. Some scientists are a bit too cavalier about their claims of understanding of impacts on health.
If you don't address the origin of for example illness, but come up with complex technological solutions, overall health of humans will never improve. Maybe you can suppress some diseases, but other diseases and problems will emerge. It's good that we acutely can save lives with modern technology, but it can't go without addressing the cause. That's what the world and healthcare needs to focus on right now, the cause!
I'm sorry, as a non english native speaker this was quite hard to understand. Perhaps native english speakers have an easier time just dealing with the accent but I'm having to convert twice in my head and a lot gets lost.
I can sort of get it but yeah... don’t feel bad about your English because of this video lol. It’s like they’re trying to talk without using their tongue.
turn on captions/subtitles, it will help you
If you care about their voice you aren't mature enough to watch TED
Can TED just pin this comment on this video for God sake !!!!
Very interesting audio quality
Interesting talk. All these would be practical and a norm before 2070. Changes are always resisted and challenged, initially. Pace of technology & human ingenuity, override such obstacles.
Such obstacles as law and common sense you mean? Who cares about the Nuremberg code eh? Ted talks are Agenda 2030.
yep, learned nothing from the past 100 years, lets invent ourselves to death !
Appreciate your Comment, for further gudiance,.

I will have to watch this on audio, the video is too distracting...
Ahaha, same here. Too strange
read the story "The Mound" to understand the end state of synthetic biology
Synthetic meat, synthetic organs, etc. Just a few steps left before human clones lol
And people think its great 😅
Nice man
On the path to Peace
Wtf is up with her voice?!
Ummm
Perhaps we could genetically engineer humans to be more mindful of consumption and think more about sustainability... 😒
？
flying cars using spiders silk? sounds great! wonder how many spiders it will take to make one car lol
None, that’s the point; it’ll be done with microbes.
Maybe one to obtain the original sequence of the silk, but once we optimize the process of making it in a bioreactor then it will take none. Get a cheap source of nitrogen and carbon and you can make as much as you please.
They have had genetically engineered spider goats for about forever, the spider silk comes out in the goats milk. Put spider goats or biosteel into your search engine.
Nature is already perfect, leave it the f alone.
I don't think this dude would agree with your sentiments here.
nature is perfect? hahaa
@@ElectricIguana No need to be rude! Thankful she is an awesome scientist and you probably a loser in real life haha
This kinda chatter creeps me the f**k our.

Say no to Globalism
Is this man or woman? 😅
Is he trans gender or hermaphrodite?
Masculine!!!
Who cares.
I didnt know there r some really 'JUDGING' people watch TED videos
@@Say_a_Lie Her voice distracts from the main content
@@zebokamalova3724 you got distracted, some didnt, its just what things u 1st get attracted to
Nice adams apple dude
Agreed! Impossible only means that you haven't found the solution yet
Making changes is soo hard... but we must! We gotta make it a priority, like taking a shower in the morning. Nothing to it but to do it! 😀
Cure tinnitus pls.
New world - all free,3d printer prints any material, creates technology and a person who thinks is what will be created. This is the future, and now only degradation
An extremely interesting talk Emily, we each need to think more about tomorrow instead of today.
Wow, this person’s accent 🧐
Y'all def deleted the bad comments, lol
What could possibly go wrong!!
@Rooted Reality They said that about Monsanto
A lot, but that's why we make tests and why we sequence stuff and why people like me are working on developing more precise ways of controlling the behavior of genetic circuits.
:D
Future kids born as animals lol. But it's OK, we can edit that too lol
"Synthetic biology is the engineering of nature to benefit society."
how about we engineer society to benefit nature - of which, btw, we are apart
Some things sound okay but I'm still more concerned about the effect this would have on the ecosystem. For an example, wiping mosquitos out would definitely NOT be a good thing for the environment. Improving lives of the humans isn't worth destroying the planet further in any way and we cannot foresee the consequences of some things mentioned in the video
imo, i don't thing wiping mosquitos is the main idea with this, but making them not portables of deadly diseases

"Our business is life itself."
I'm so excited about our synthetic future, can't wait !!
ARE YOU A ROBOT?
@@itsmenoname2247 Was being sarcastic, naturally.
Amazing talk from Emily as always. Love her work in Twist!!
Science and technology progress so much faster than mankind who seems to hesitate, question, ruminate everything and thus take forever to make pressing changes that are good for man and environment. Interesting information E Leproust (I'm personally aware of the topic). More exposure needed. Folks and communities coud benefit from more talks, discussion, and the right information.
Save Our Planet
Слово и дело @
Science can improve our lives in so many ways if we allow it.
why do u think that what u say is correct??????n will have no impact on the ecology when u don't understand it fully like how everything is interconnected
I would rather die
Wtf
omg
Nice talk.
She is the CEO and founder from Twist Bioscience (TWST)... Keep going!
I told you have a good day earlier and watched you hop in the back of a suburban like a boss👏👏👏
9:31 "With synthetic biology we will produce spider silk at commercial scale and avoid spider-on-spider violence." Ain't science beautiful?
Hello
First
Thank you so much!
Why the voice has been modified? Oo
@Peter Frencken They have surgery for that now too
I'll take my Natural foods over your Synthetic foods.
Synthetic means FAKE, right??
Nope.
Why is this voiced over
YOU WILL EAT THE BUGS AND OWN NOTHING
but there are ethical issues too
like which ones?(Is just a question,I really want to know)
@@bruno9005 not everyone would be comfortable with the idea of interfering with nature and genetics and there is also controversy of long term health complications that could occur as a result of eating GM crops
There's something odd here
STOP!! Just Stop!!! You will never succeed pushing that crap to the people. We are smarter than you give us credit!!
@Rooted Reality It's Biblical to tithe, meaning give 10% of your income.
This is hands down my favorite talk. Do it because you should, but also so nature won't kill you.
*Mister lady*.....
Why he make up?
wth?
ikr?!
This is so disturbing.. This video should be removed.
Just like you.
what a snowflake
@@elinope4745 lol
or lesbian
That sounds like a dude.
Is that her real voice
Masculan voice🤨
^ ignorant comment
He is or she is ???🙄
It is
the voice.... nope!
lmao
