Collecting global health data is an imperfect science: Workers tramp through villages to knock on doors and ask questions, write the answers on paper forms, then input the data -- and from this messy, gappy information, countries and NGOs need to make huge decisions. Data geek Joel Selanikio talks through the sea change in collecting health data in the past decade -- starting with the PalmPilot and Hotmail, and now moving into the cloud.

Every cell in the human body has a sex, which means that men and women are different right down to the cellular level. Yet too often, research and medicine ignore this insight -- and the often startlingly different ways in which the two sexes respond to disease or treatment. As pioneering doctor Paula Johnson describes in this thought-provoking talk, lumping everyone in together means we essentially leave women's health to chance. It's time to rethink.

Why do we turn to nonprofits, NGOs and governments to solve society's biggest problems? Michael Porter admits he's biased, as a business school professor, but he wants you to hear his case for letting business try to solve massive problems like climate change and access to water. Why?

Social systems are quickly becoming part of the real world and a reflection of it, a means by which we can communicate with each other more efficiently. With people at the center of the web, we have the ability to transcend our limited physical reality and create something that can connect us faster than ever before. But in this brave new world, we must understand our existing social truths -- why we are social in the first place and what our true needs really are -- to be the most effective. The talk explores the fundamental psychological underpinnings of our human society -- in the greater spectrum of humanity and evolution -- that can explain how we can utilize social technology to move us closer to our self actualization.
