Is indoor air quality making us sick? | Matt Schaubroeck | TEDxWinnipeg
Indoor air quality affects our physical health and our day-to-day performance. Matt wants people to think differently about the physical spaces they occupy, and how they impact their individual and social health. His experience as the CEO of ioAirFlow has demonstrated how spending most of our time indoors impacts well-being. Forest fires, pollution, and a global pandemic have heightened the need for a shift in the way we interact with buildings.Matt Schaubroeck is a social entrepreneur with six years of experience in enhancing occupant comfort and indoor air quality through his startup, ioAirFlow. Although he has transitioned from this venture, he continues to champion healthy building solutions as a social good. Currently, Matt consults on regenerative business transformation strategies, aiding impact-focused companies in their pursuit of success. His work prioritizes sustainable and health-centric approaches within the building industry, reflecting his commitment to both environmental and social impacts.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 8:58How to prevent the robot apocalypse | Oluwami (Wami) Dosunmu-Ogunbi | TEDxDetroitImagine a world where robots, once created to serve humanity, have turned against us—not out of malice, but because of the biases we unknowingly built into them. It sounds like science fiction, but the reality is that we are already on the path to such a world. How do we change course? The answer is surprisingly simple. "Oluwami ""Wami"" Dosunmu-Ogunbi, PhD, is a trailblazer as the first Black woman to earn a PhD in Robotics from the University of Michigan. Her research focus is in robot control and engineering education.Navigating academia as a person at the intersection of numerous identities, Wami faced many challenges, including being expelled from her first PhD program. However, with the unwavering support of mentors, she overcame systemic barriers and made history. Wami is committed to paving the way for future generations, demonstrating that while she may be the first, she certainly won't be the last!
