In a recent @TEDxMIT talk, Gabriel Kozlowski SMArchS ’15 discusses the power of maps in shaping democracy. By making certain conditions visible, maps become active tools to foreground attacks against people, while empowering groups that are silenced. ted.com/talks/gabriel_kozlow…

In 2018 at the first @TEDxMIT event, Mavalvala spoke about how gold may have been produced by the collision of neutron stars. Watch the talk: youtu.be/l0NybQu8JLk xitter.cf/ScienceMIT/status/1133…
So far, @LIGO has identified 10 colliding black holes, as well as the rare neutron star collision... What's more amazing is this tells scientists Earth's abnormal abundance of gold may have resulted from a similar star collision. -Nergis Mavalvala #TEDxMIT @MIT_Physics @MitKavli

"For me, the hardest thing about being trans wasn't coming out to my family. It wasn't telling my friends. It wasn't trying to integrate into society. It was, actually, to find a job." Leng Montgomery (@LengMonty) at @tedxlondon: t.ted.com/3PZz1QN

#AnneFrank was born on this day in 1929. She remains a beacon of love and hope, and her work is a testament to the power of compassionate self-expression.
Staff of the @mitlibraries have compiled a list of books and films exploring racial justice and policing, foundations on racism in the U.S., racial justice activism, anti-racism, and whiteness. All are available remotely to the MIT community. mitsha.re/WTVn50A50Xl

Imagine playing a video game where you can grab something from off of your (real) desk. This new smart glove could make that happen: it can detect your hand pose & distinguish between 30+ household objects. VIDEO: bit.ly/SmartGloveMIT
