Addiction to opioids is now officially a national emergency. But why are addiction rates spiking and what can we do about it? Neuroscientist Rachel Wurzman shares new research about how the brain reacts to opioids, replacing the sense of community and belonging human beings are losing. We are beginning to understand that solving the opioid epidemic will require us to focus on social factors surrounding those addicted. Dr. Rachel Wurzman is a Fellow with the Center for Neuroscience and Society, and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Neurology with the Laboratory for Cognition and Neural Stimulation at the University of Pennsylvania.

Rachel also currently serves as Director of Science on the Board of Directors for SeekHealing, a non-profit whose mission is to reduce addiction relapse cycles. Rachel is the author of over 20 peer reviewed journal articles and book chapters on various topics
in developmental, cognitive, and systems neuroscience, neuroethics, and science policy.

Previously, Rachel served as an Intern in the Science Division of the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office
of the President of the United States, a Neuroscience Scholar Program Fellow with the Society for Neuroscience, and a Researcher
in Residence in the Neuroethics Studies Program of the Pellegrino Center for Clinical Bioethics at Georgetown University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

At different points in time, we have all found ourselves stuck in a situation we’re unable to get out of. Some people emerge victoriously and exemplifying this victory we have Mr. Farhat Ali Khan. Now a successful writer, but he was not an easy path. His ability to find inspiration in the little things in life which would blend into the background by the normal eye gave him the kickstart.
Even with his knack for poetry, it didn’t come to him in the first go. It was only after the loss of his loved ones, that his pain bled through the paper to create poetry which went on to be a published book. But at no point did he look back, and slowly he had a grip on his life again, with a plethora of newer and bigger opportunities in front of him.
Just at the young age of 19, Mr. Farhat Ali Khan has successfully published his debut poetry book, “COLORS” and his latest book — “Midnight Hues” is Amazon’s #1 Best Selling Poetry Book. With lots of enthusiasm, Mr. Farhat Ali Khan brings in the required energy in the room and leaves people with thoughts colliding, forming something new, something magnificent!
An actor, author, theater artist, and writer, Farhat Ali Khan was born and brought up in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and now, hes further completing his studies in India from Jamia Millia Islamia.

His acting debut was in Doordarshan in 2015 for the serial, «Adhikar» and is a theatre actor. He has performed 3 plays including one at Jamia Hamdard for Jashn-e-Adab. Just at the young age of 19, he has successfully published his debut poetry book, “COLORS” and his latest book — “Midnight Hues” is Amazon’s #1 Best Selling Poetry Book! Even while pursuing his graduation, he has actively participated in societies like Enactus and represented his college at the National level. Being a strongly opinionated person, he has always been at the forefront and worked with organizations like UMEED NGO to bring light to issues of the underprivileged.
