Dr. Jasmine Marcelin, an infectious diseases expert and frontline healthcare hero, highlights the profound exhaustion and emotional toll COVID-19 has taken on medical staff and other essential workers. While healthcare workers perform their daily duties heroically, the pandemic has decimated their energy and well-being.

Marcelin argues that genuine appreciation extends beyond gifts; it requires everyone to step up, combat the virus, and reduce its spread to alleviate the burden on frontline personnel. An Assistant Professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, she is a fierce advocate for health equity, justice, diversity, and inclusion, and a prominent leader within the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA).

Our food systems significantly impact climate change. Historically, agriculture has relied on extractive practices, leading to less nutritious food. Can we instead grow food regeneratively, providing more valuable nutrients and fostering restorative practices?

This question was explored in a live episode featuring Sheena Shah (Harvesting for Good East Africa) on permaculture, Nicole Gobeth (Connect the Dots) discussing policy and São Paulo's circular food economy, and Jeanette Coombs-Lanot (Danone) on large businesses' role in regenerative food production. The discussion highlighted pathways to a more sustainable food future.

Our food system significantly impacts climate change. Historically, extractive farming has met global demand but often resulted in less nutritious food. This raises a crucial question: can regenerative and restorative practices provide more valuable nutrients while sequestering carbon and restoring soil health?

This episode explores regenerative food sourcing. We'll hear from Sheena Shah (Harvesting for Good East Africa) on practices in East Africa, Nicole Gobeth (Connect the Dots) on policy and São Paulo's circular food economy, and Danone on how large businesses are ensuring regenerative food production.

Premiered November 1, 2022, this discussion explores Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. AI, defined as computer systems performing human-like tasks such as visual perception and speech recognition, is transforming education. It improves quality and access to knowledge, optimizing learning patterns and automating tasks for students and teachers.

In this AI for Good Perspectives event, Professor Mérouane Debbah, Chief Researcher at TII's AI and Digital Science Research Center, details how data and AI revolutionize education. He also addresses shaping national policies to advance equal learning, a core UN Sustainable Development Goal. Debbah is also a professor at CentraleSupélec and Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence.
