Six months into a catastrophic war in Iran — and with no end in sight for the war in Ukraine — the world is embroiled in conflicts with no apparent exit plan. In this interview, political scientist and Eurasia Group founder Ian Bremmer breaks down what these wars are costing people around the world — and which one he’s more worried might spiral out of control. (This interview, hosted by TED’s Helen Walters, was recorded on July 28, 2026.)

What if science class felt less like a textbook and more like an unforgettable field trip to an imaginative laboratory? From viral glitter-bomb traps to backyard engineering marvels, former NASA engineer turned YouTube phenomenon Mark Rober has spent years proving that curiosity is contagious — and that the best way to teach science is to make it impossible to look away. Join Mark for a live conversation where he’ll share more about how play, wonder and a healthy dose of mischief can transform the way the next generation learns. Plus, get a sneak peek inside his plans to bring that magic to every classroom in America.
