Imagine traveling back through half a billion years of Earth’s history, where the only clues to our planet’s climate story lie locked in stone. In this talk, I’ll share how we’ve unearthed those clues by chasing fossils from the red-rock badlands of Utah to the windswept dunes of the Gobi Desert. Using cutting-edge ecological and evolutionary models alongside decades of fieldwork with international teams, we’re piecing together the hidden playbook of life under pressure: revealing the surprising strategies that helped dinosaurs and other creatures survive, or perish, during past climate upheavals. By uncovering these ancient patterns of adaptation and extinction, we can translate lessons written in rock into actionable insights for today’s ecosystems. Join me on this journey to decode Earth’s greatest climate experiments and discover what they teach us about resilience, responsibility, and the choices we face in our warming world. Alfio Alessandro Chiarenza è ricercatore presso l'University College London, Newton International Fellow della Royal Society, Paleontologo dei Vertebrati. Studia i fossili di rettili estinti, per approfondire l’evoluzione, la diversificazione e l’estinzione della vita sulla Terra, in particolare in relazione ai drastici cambiamenti climatici simili a quelli che alimentano l’attuale crisi della biodiversità. È un paleontologo specializzato nella storia evolutiva dei dinosauri e di altri rettili Mesozoici. Laureato in Scienze Naturali presso l'Università di Catania ha completato magistrale in Biologia Evoluzionistica all'Università di Bologna e un dottorato in Scienze della Terra all'Imperial College London. Ricercatore al Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Texas, borsista dell’European Research Council presso l’Università di Vigo. Presso la UCL studia l’evoluzione degli animali terrestri Mesozoici.

C'era una volta un bambino che imparò ad andare in bicicletta, sostenuto da una squadra di familiari che lo incoraggiava a ogni progresso. Da adulto, però, ogni volta che "cade", metaforicamente, trova giudizio e indifferenza invece di supporto. L'indifferenza è vista come l'opposto dell'empatia, che richiede cambiamento e comprensione degli altri. Luciano Sabbatini, fisioterapista, parla dell'importanza di accogliere le proprie fragilità per trasformarle in punti di forza, come nel caso di un'atleta che ha superato la rabbia per un infortunio al ginocchio. L'errore e la paura, se accolti, possono diventare strumenti di crescita, e in una squadra l'accoglienza degli errori è fondamentale per il successo. Ogni giorno, di fatto, scegliamo tra gli "occhiali" dell'indifferenza e quelli dell'accoglienza. Il coaching evolutivo propone le "quattro A": accoglienza delle differenze, ascolto empatico, alleanza e autenticità. L'invito finale è a indossare gli occhiali dell'accoglienza per vedere opportunità di crescita e supporto reciproco.Questo intervento è stato presentato a un evento TEDx, che utilizza il format della conferenza TED ma è stato organizzato in maniera indipendente da una comunità locale.Per maggiori informazioni, visita il sito http://ted.com/tedx Nato a Sassoferrato nel 1964 e residente ad Ancona, Luciano Sabbatini è laureato in Scienze Motorie e Fisioterapia, tutor didattico per UNIVPM e Coach Professionista.

We live in an age where “potential” is often measured by achievements, and “success” is judged by speed. But the younger generation is not a project to be “optimized.” They are growing souls — full of clumsy steps, mistakes, and moments of losing their way. This is the story of someone who has learned to embrace imperfection — in themselves, and in the next generation. It’s not an idealistic kind of faith, but a mature one — shaped by failure, by observation, and by a passionate heart. Nguyen Hoang Huy is the Founder and CEO of The Forum, a chain of 10 language centers across Vietnam. His remarkable achievements include being admitted to the law program of University of New Hampshire; being admitted to a PhD program in Economics at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore; and being one of the few Vietnamese to attain a perfect IELTS score of 9.0. Incredibly, Huy is simultaneously pursuing two doctoral degrees in Economics and Law, managing his education business, and completing an MBA program in Switzerland. His story is a powerful example of relentless learning and a deep commitment to the global academic community, as shown through initiatives like organizing free IELTS classes for learners.
