Nobel laureate Paul Nurse calls evolution by natural selection "the most beautiful idea in biology." He unpacks Charles Darwin's theory, revealing how complexity emerges without a designer and highlighting the profound impact of tiny variations on our understanding of life.

Nurse explores the deep genetic connections linking all organisms, from humans to yeast. This shared ancestry prompts a crucial question: if all life is related, what is our responsibility to the living world?

Paul Nurse, a British biochemist, was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize for his discoveries regarding cell cycle regulation and served as Rockefeller University's ninth president.

Nature offers readily available solutions, embodying Albert Einstein's observation: "Everything you can imagine, nature has already created." For billions of years, nature has perfected resource management, energy utilization, and water cycles, providing proven systems that science studies and adapts for technology.

Piero Manzoni, CEO of Neorurale SpA and President of MenoEnergia and Acqua&Sole, holds a Mechanical Engineering degree and an MBA. His talk, likely exploring these natural principles, was delivered at a local TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Listen to "The Work We Do" episode featuring Charles Spillane, FAO Chief Scientist, on Spotify, Apple Music, or SoundCloud. Spillane shares his techno-optimistic worldview, shaped by his Irish farm upbringing, highlighting science's power to improve society.

He discusses why scientific advances often fail smallholder farmers, how to bridge the knowledge-adoption gap, and addressing financial and systemic barriers. Charlie also explores data's role in agriculture, funding limitations, and his vision for a future-ready agrifood science system.
