With hundreds of amazing attendees in the house and <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://www.ted.com/pages/548">almost 100 related TEDx events</a> around the world — it’s a global event, and you’re invited to join wherever you may be on Tuesday and Wednesday.</p> <p>With so many <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://www.ted.com/pages/548"><strong>TEDx for TEDWomen</strong></a> events, it’s likely there’s one near you.

Tell us about that time.</strong></p> <p>It was ten years ago, just after I’d finished my product design studies. I had an inner motivation to find how life habits in other parts of the world were created from a mindset that is closer to Earth. So I went for almost one year to do personal research in India. I was looking with open eyes at different life habits as expressed through products and other ways. It was so different than the Western mindset that I was accustomed to, and the experience affected me very strongly.</p> <p>Later on, when I was studying for my Master’s degree in sustainable design, I felt there was a very big gap between what we were being taught, and what people’s life habits can be regarding sustainable design. The Western, analytical, calculative approach was feeling very unwholesome to me. I felt the Western lifestyle had lots of benefits and progress, but still lost something that felt so right, and precious, and deep. Of course, neither world is perfect, but I felt there was a need to explore a bridging way between these two mindsets.</p> <p>I devoted my thesis to the question of “How can we learn from indigenous ways of living, to approach sustainable design in a deeper, more meaningful way?”</p> <p>I started exploring the mindset, philosophy and habits behind what I was exposed to in India. Things like traditional approaches to equality in nature, Hindu philosophy and Buddhist philosophy. I tried to see how, when we come from these mindsets, we can approach sustainable design that is relevant for our daily lives in the West in a fresh way.</p> <p>Surprisingly, a process emerged. I eventually named it the<a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://www.design-bridge.org/concept.htm"> Bridge Methodology</a>. It was not like I started out saying, “OK, let’s see how I design a methodology with five strategies.” At one point, I just started defining key words that depict the vast knowledge I explored. And when I started breaking down what these could mean to design, and started to translate them to design principles and design strategy, slowly, in a very dedicated process, the five strategies of the Bridge Methodology shined through.</p> <p> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://blog.ted.com/2010/12/03/fellows-friday-with-adital-ela/#more-46912" class="more-link">(more…)</a></p>  <div class="ted-addthis"> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub="emilymcmc";</script> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=20" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', 'http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://blog.ted.com/2010/12/03/fellows-friday-with-adital-ela/', 'Fellows Friday with Adital Ela')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226im_/http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-addthis-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226js_/http://s7.addthis.com/js/200/addthis_widget.js"></script> </div>  <p class="post-footer"> <strong>Posted by Alana Herro</strong> | <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://blog.ted.com/2010/12/03/fellows-friday-with-adital-ela/">Permalink</a> | <span>Comments Off</span> | <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://blog.ted.com/2010/12/03/fellows-friday-with-adital-ela/trackback/">Trackback</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="blog-post"> <div class="blog-entry"> <h3>02 December 2010</h3> <h1><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://blog.ted.com/2010/12/02/nasa-finds-arsenic-based-life-a-tedtalks-playlist-for-context/">NASA announces arsenic-based life: 5 TEDTalks to watch for context</a></h1> <p>Today, scientists at NASA <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://www.nature.com/news/2010/101202/full/news.2010.645.html">announced the discovery</a> of a new form of bacteria that uses arsenic as part of its basic biology, something previously thought impossible. The bacteria appears to use the arsenic to replace phosphorous — possibly even in its DNA. Phosphorous was considered to be essential for all life, and so if confirmed, <b>this discovery is a stunning affirmation of the idea that life can exist in forms wildly different from those normally found on Earth</b>, and that in turn has enormous implications for how we should look for life elsewhere in the cosmos.</p> <p>To help understand the science, and the excitement, here are five TED talks on how, and why, we might search for such life.</p> <p>Starting close to home, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/penelope_boston.html">Penelope Boston</a> shows how the study of life in extreme conditions on Earth is related to the search for extraterrestrial life, and exactly how the lessons from caves can be applied on Mars and beyond.</p>

Yet, India continues to perform poorly on every conceivable human development indicator.</p> <p>With this in mind, we set up the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20101205075226/http://www.accountabilityindia.in/">Accountability Initiative</a> in 2008. Our starting point was to try and understand what happens with government money once it leaves the government coffers. Additionally, we do research to study the effectiveness of accountability efforts, like the Right to Information Act, to strengthen the public debate on improving accountability.</p> <p>About twenty years ago, former Prime Minster Rajiv Gandhi summarized the accountability problem in India by saying that, of every one rupee that is meant to reach a village, only 1/15 of it reaches that village. Since then, every politician has attested to that fact, but nobody has attempted to systematically track this to see what actually happens on the ground.</p> <p>So we decided to find out: of that one rupee, how much actually reaches the school or the health center? What actually happens to it, and why does spending this money not quite yield results?</p> <p> <a
