Transforming our energy infrastructure to meet greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals necessitates deploying electric vehicles and energy storage. However, their real-world effectiveness depends on proper grid integration and careful planning. Research by Brian Tarroja and his UC Irvine colleagues identifies these critical integration needs and life cycle planning considerations to ensure the full GHG benefits of these technologies are realized in future electricity systems.

This program is from the Institute for Energy Efficiency, presented by UCTV. As the University of California's broadcast and online media platform, UCTV offers in-depth programming from its campuses and research institutions, exploring a broad spectrum of subjects for a global audience, embodying UC's core missions of teaching, research, and public service.

Indonesia is the world's second-largest food waste contributor, despite widespread poverty and unsustainable protein sources threatening marine ecosystems. Rendria Labde, co-founder of agritech Magalarva, offers a solution. Inspired by a landfill visit, he founded Magalarva in 2017, utilizing Black Soldier Flies (BSF) as a natural intervention.

At Magalarva, BSF larvae efficiently consume organic waste. These larvae are then harvested and converted into valuable products like fertilizer, fishmeal, or dried protein powder for pets, providing a sustainable solution to waste and protein scarcity.

Rendria, a Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia honoree, is a mechanical engineer and permaculturist. This TEDx talk explores his innovative work. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Jonathan Rowson, director of the Social Brain Centre at the Royal Society of Arts, highlights the problematic nature of the word 'spiritual.' It means too much to some and too little to others, leading to diverse interpretations—from psychological depth to philosophical confusion, or a critique of materialism to capitalist exploitation.

Following a two-year RSA inquiry, Dr. Rowson proposes a framework for a post-religious spirituality. This initiative seeks to make the spiritual less nebulous while maintaining its inclusive ambiguity.

The new framework redefines four existential touchstones: Love (from romance to rootedness), Death (from denial to confrontation), Self (from esteem to transcendence), and Soul (from substance to perspective).

In her TEDxNSCCWaterfront talk, Mi’kmaw Poet Laureate Rebecca Thomas explains Etuaptmumk: Two-Eyed Seeing. This concept encourages integrating the strengths of Indigenous and Western knowledges, using both perspectives for the benefit of all.

As Coordinator of Aboriginal Student Services and a spoken word artist, Thomas draws from her family’s residential school history to highlight the lack of First Nations perspectives in Halifax’s history. She uses her platform to bring a cultural voice to public discussion, believing poetry empowers the voiceless and fosters healing. “Poetry can give a voice to the voiceless. Poetry can make a powerless person feel powerful. This is why I speak,” she states.
