Education is and always has been fundamental, a means of guiding and informing us on how to go about life, how to navigate the complexities of living in a vast world of uncertainty. Education means communication, collaboration, self-realization, opportunity. How can we give rise to our global community without a knowing of the infinite intersections that make up our shared universe? Education is a right to life, a right to love, a right to be a sovereign being in an ever-changing, ever-significant world.

How absurd that the right to life, the notion of survival is not a given. Food, shelter, safety/security, education, none of which are cemented in the global wellbeing. This is universal. We can come together in pursuit of these inextricable facets of life and being.

Your Vaccine Questions Deserve Real Answers | Kizzmekia Corbett | TED

What good is a vaccine people don’t trust? Immunologist and TED Fellow Kizzmekia Corbett co-developed the first COVID-19 vaccine to enter clinical trials — but she says making the vaccine was never the hardest part. The real obstacle is the gap between scientists and the people who have honest questions about the shots they’re being asked to take. She shares a refreshing approach for taking on vaccine inquisitiveness and ensuring that humanity is ready for the next pandemic. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 15, 2026)
