[Music]
it was a summer afternoon in my hometown
Larnaca driving with a friend of mine
and we passed from a Salt Lake this Salt
Lake is right next to the airport and my
friend suddenly says oh you what
happened here why did the Salt Lake
Shore turn red so I answered oh don’t
worry honey it’s because of the eggs of
Artemia Salina a little brine shrimp
that lives here and and she goes crazy
oh come on give me a break I don’t want
to know all these scientific details of
yours I’m just thinking out loud so I
quit but when I went home I wanted to
check how powerful this image can be so
I’ve said in her these pictures saying
hi booboo this is Artemia Salina
she lives in Larnaca Salt Lake she
replied
gross I continued she can even fertilize
her eggs without a male this is a
woman’s wall
she like that comment thumbs up but I
can’t share her reply here so this
happened four or five years ago last
year when the same phenomenon occurred
someone shared a picture saying that
this is happening because of pollution
from the airport and guess what my
friend although she seemed very not into
science she commented no get your facts
straight it because of Artemia Salina
she said and explained so yes today if
we see something strange or not we just
raise our phones take a picture and
upload it just like that okay we might
write something irrelevant as well like
ready when you bloom or just shocking
but the sad part is that we do not
process the signals we receive
and share most of the times we’re not
questioning them or analyzing them you
see I’m a biomedical engineer and as
most engineers and scientists of the
21st century I deal with signal
processing so what is signal processing
what do we mean by signal and how we
define processing by signal according to
I Triple E we mean a sequence of
information it can be an image a video
or acoustic data it can be a brain
signal or geophysical data or genomic
sequence the list goes on as for
processing it includes operations like
filtering transmitting detecting
discovering or reproducing signals by
using different algorithms and
techniques signal processing is the
reason we have smartphones Smart TVs
space exploration advanced medical
devices and many many more in our
everyday life now we are both receivers
and transmitters of signals in one of
the most commonly used signals are
images images from everyday life images
from space the moon the Pluto images
from scans from our pets from our pet as
we grow old from strange visitors I’ll
be back to that visitor infinite and
clen countless images this is our
routine now we stop the time we capture
the moment and then we spend time using
applications adding filters and try to
design how we want to remember that
moment but is it so important to
remember your lunch well if you process
it a bit then you realize that thousands
of scientists have been working in order
for you to know and understand your food
choices you now know why you need
protein or carbs or gluten-free bread
for example your decision is influenced
by science
so yes the moment you chose the jacket
of over fries it’s a remarkable moment
wouldn’t be fascinating if we could
associate every
image with science if we could add some
extra processing to our signals to
detect and discover science behind them
not as computers but as humans trying to
fit their curiosity what’s stopping us
from that nothing there’s a whole world
behind every little object that is
scientifically derived waiting for us to
explore it and understand it
FaceTime science keep science the
attentionally deserves increase I
increased scientific literacy and
eventually appreciate the moment and
believing you can do it start
questioning your signals it’s fun and
its consequential to science not only
shapes our daily lives but it is also
the foundation of an innovative culture
understanding and it’s crucial for all
of us so we can be informed and
influenced our future it’s not hard this
is exactly what my friend did but
subconsciously with a little bit of my
help I presented her the signal and she
performed her processing this is what
you can do when you see Pluto for
example you can ask yourself what is
that big hard splashed across Salvador’s
planet surface science has the answer
for you aha
his heart is made of cold it’s formed
primarily by huge glaciers and made
mostly of nitrogen ice the information
is out there you can access it in
seconds and if it’s not there it will be
soon scientists are trying to make
everything accessible and understandable
by everyone our knowledge for the
universe is continuously expanding and
so does the digital universe from now
until 2020 that digital universe will
about double every two years and reach
up to 40 trillion gigabytes in size
hello no one there with so many images
in social media so in a world that is
changing as rapidly as ours developing
the ability to learn new things it’s
equally as critical to how well we’re
thinking or how much knowledge
we have exercise and fit your curiosity
develop your ability to filter the
information to combine the information
search for facts and evidence this is
what happened when I had a strange
visitor
I found the spectacular moth laying on
my wall wearing its prada outfit and the
first thing I did was of course grab my
phone and take a picture but then I
wondered how did the dab in my place and
so I began processing I uploaded the
picture and searched for a similar one I
found a better one and of course I
learned its name with the face up pulled
chela I felt lucky because this species
occurs mostly in the Mediterranean in
South Africa then I wondered about the
strange colors and shapes on its wings
and I came across
Turing’s theory about pattern formation
mathematical equations that explain why
zebras have stripes and cheetahs have
totin stripes and that could possibly
explain why our fingers and toes are
patterned like that I save this moment
forever and I ask you when these
beautiful wings told me so much how can
I say Oh stupid moth the next time I see
mid science and appreciate the world
surrounding us we are trying to improve
nature to improve our experiences to
improve our environment but first we
should try to understand it and connect
shape your opinion on global warming on
modern medicine shape your opinion on
tomorrow’s transportation on tomorrow’s
technology share you are a ha moment
with a kid one aha moment per week we
stimulate their curiosity and maybe make
them see the world differently tied them
towards critical thinking and prepare
them to solve problems with done yet
have great new ideas we then arise you
know
every moment has a story every image has
a story but also every image captures
science inside and before you rush to
say that you don’t care or you don’t
understand like my friend II that first
think of that we are trying to improve
the sorry we are trying to improve the
beauty we are trying to enhance the
beauty of our of our of our moments by
try to enhance the brightness of our
images but the beauty of our moments is
enhanced the more you know the more you
understand the greatness and fascination
of science behind everything
the beauty of sunset is enhanced the
more you know about it the more you know
about light propagation about atmosphere
and unfortunately the beauty of our
sunset is diminished the more we ignore
science the more we ignore air pollution
the more we ignore climate change and if
our sunset gets destroyed then no
filters and no applications will be able
to restore its beauty I invite you to a
much deeper understanding of science and
the world surrounding us we are now
equipped with the technology and we have
the opportunity to do that signal
processing is what connects the world
and puts it in our pockets from our
pockets our processing of the signals
will connect us back to the world and
help us process our future thank you
you
