Neurodiversity: the two ends of a spectrum | Chloe Juhel | TEDxSIS Dubai Youth
This is not simply a talk, its a story. A story that is real, raw, and inspiring. Chloe here shares the reality of being a gifted student—the highs, the struggles, and how she turned challenges into her greatest strengths. Navigating high school as a gifted student is a paradox—balancing the expectations of brilliance with the hidden struggles that come with it. In this TEDx talk, Chloe, a Grade 12 student, shares how many of the traits that seemed to define her giftedness were actually ways of coping with challenges beneath the surface. By embracing her uniqueness while turning what some saw as a challenge into her greatest strength she discovered the power of positive psychology, mindset shifts, and self-acceptance. This talk delves into the psychology of winning—not just in academics, but in life. Through resilience, redefining success, and harnessing neurodiversity, Chloe proves how true achievement comes from embracing who you are.

- 12:19¿Lagartijas endémicas o serpientes invasoras? | Antonia Maria Cirer Costa | TEDxDaltVilaQué está pasando en Ibiza con las serpientes introducidas. Se están extinguiendo las lagartijas endémicas y otras especies autóctonas. Las lagartijas son el único vertebrado endémico de las Pitiusas y cuando desaparecen surgen nuevas plagas en los árboles, produciéndose desequilibrios ecológicos notables. I am a biologist from Ibiza and I have observed and studied the Ibiza wall lizard since more 50 years ago. This lizard is a great living evolutionary example. With that propose I studied Evolution with Dr. Prevosti and Ecology with Dr. Margalef in Barcelona University. I finished my doctoral thesis in 1987, supervised by Dr. Martinez-Rica, on lizards populations in all the Pitiusen Islands. I have been Biology, Geology and Earth Science professor, but now I am retired. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

En esta charla inspiradora, el artista digital y diseñador Ezequiel Pini explora los límites difusos entre lo real y lo imaginario, cuestionando la idea arraigada de que el arte debe existir en forma física para ser considerado válido. A través de su trayectoria en la creación 3D, una disciplina que durante mucho tiempo fue vista solo como una herramienta de visualización, comparte cómo superó el escepticismo, encontró validación en el mundo digital y abrazó un proceso creativo sin límites. Desde paisajes arquitectónicos oníricos hasta los icónicos fondos de Windows, su trabajo desafía las percepciones convencionales sobre el arte, la tecnología y la creatividad. ¿Seguimos atados a definiciones tradicionales o estamos entrando en una nueva era donde la imaginación moldea la realidad? Ezequiel Pini, known as Six N. Five, is an award-winning Argentinian digital artist based in Barcelona. Over the past decade, he has pioneered the use of 3D to craft dreamlike worlds with a clean, modern aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from nature, spaces, and cultures, Pini blends architecture, landscaping, and cinematography to reimagine natural beauty. Known for his collaborations with top brands and creators, his work includes installations, global exhibitions, and wallpapers for Microsoft Windows 11. His refined imagination and poetic compositions make him a standout in digital artistry.
