As evident by the title, this TED (Technology, Education, and Design) Talks playlist features 11 different talks by women in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). For instance, in a March 2015 talk, Fei Fei Li, a computer science professor at Stanford University, discusses the rapidly developing field of computer vision and machine learning - a field she contributed to through her work at the Stanford Vision Lab. Li clearly explains the basics of artificial intelligence by using a variety of helpful visuals and examining how a computer might come to understand the concept of "cat." In another talk, from April 2009, Bonnie Bassler, a Princeton University molecular biologist, examines bacterial coordination (which includes the memorable line, "I know you think of yourselves as human, but I think of you as 90-99% bacterial.") Check out the playlist for these two engaging presentations and nine additional TED Talks.
