Shohini Ghose

Marie Skłodowska Curie's revolutionary research laid the groundwork for our understanding of physics and chemistry, blazing trails in oncology, technology, medicine, and nuclear physics, to name a few. But what did she actually do? Shohini Ghose expounds on some of Marie Skłodowska Curie's most revolutionary discoveries. [Directed by Anna Nowakowska, narrated by Julianna Zarzycki, music by Matthias Runge].

A quantum computer isn't just a more powerful version of the computers we use today; it's something else entirely, based on emerging scientific understanding -- and more than a bit of uncertainty. Enter the quantum wonderland with TED Fellow Shohini Ghose and learn how this technology holds the potential to transform medicine, create unbreakable encryption and even teleport information.

In an inspiring talk, quantum physicist and author Shohini Ghose calls attention to the women throughout history who made scientific breakthroughs in fields that overlooked them -- and offers a vision of a world that encourages and supports women in STEM.

What happens when the precision of physics converges with the power of art? Three TED Fellows — Damon Davis, Amma Y. Ghartey-Tagoe Kootin and Shohini Ghose — explore the personal and practical realities of facing uncertainty and meeting change in this jazz-infused conversation. Their wide-ranging discussion illuminates the possibilities of uncertainty, proving that the most profound insights emerge from the most unexpected perspectives. (This conversation was co-created with TED Fellow Paul Rucker, who composed and performed the original music, and TED Fellows Director Lily James Olds.)
