More from TED.com  Behind those funny animal videos, sometimes, are oddly human-like problems. Laurel Braitman studies non-human animals who exhibit signs of mental health issues -- from compulsive bears to self-destructive rats to monkeys with unlikely friends. Braitman asks what we as humans can learn from watching animals cope with depression, sadness and other all-too-human problems.

Gafić, a TED Fellow and Sarajevo native, has photographed every item from these graves in order to create a living archive of the identities of those lost.

Once considered the “soul” of this celebrated city, the river succumbed to sewage and pollution, and in the 1950s was covered over bit by bit until nothing remained. TED Fellow Aziza Chaouni recounts her 20 year effort to restore this river to its former glory, and to transform her city in the process.

Jarrett Krosoczka: Why lunch ladies are heroes | | | This talk reminds me of Mrs. Heerschop (long since deceased) who ran our cafeteria in my Jr. High. Jr. High was not a great time in my life (pretty common, I think!) but Mrs. Heerschop gave me my first job as a cashier. The self-esteem boost I got from that job and her quiet and kind support made a big difference in my overall experience. Thank you for highlighting that EVERYONE in a school makes a difference in the lives of children." | | |
