ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jessica Green - Engineer and biodiversity scientist
Jessica Green wants people to understand the important role microbes play in every facet of our lives: climate change, building ecosystems, human health, even roller derby -- using nontraditional tools like art, animation and film to help people visualize the invisible world.

Why you should listen

Jessica Green, a TED2010 Fellow and TED2011 Senior Fellow, is an engineer and ecologist who specializes in biodiversity theory and microbial systems. As a professor at both the University of Oregon and the Santa Fe Institute, she is the founding director of the innovative Biology and the Built Environment (BioBE) Center that bridges biology and architecture.

Green envisions a future with genomic-driven approaches to architectural design that promote sustainability, human health and well-being. She is spearheading efforts to model buildings as complex ecosystems that house trillions of diverse microorganisms interacting with each other, with humans, and with their environment. This framework uses next-generation sequencing technology to characterize the “built environment microbiome” and will offer site-specific design solutions to minimize the spread of infectious disease and maximize building energy efficiency.

Jessica Green: Are we filtering the wrong microbes?

Džesika Grin: Da li selektujemo pogrešne mikrobe?

Da li bi trebalo da zatvaramo vrata spoljašnjoj sredini u bolnicama? Pronalasci ekologa i TED Stipendiste, Džesike Grin, ukazuju na to da venitlacioni sistemi koje koristimo zaista sprečavaju ulazak različitih vrsta mikroba, ali pogešnih vrsta: velika je verovatnoća da su oni koji ostaju u bonicama patogeni.

Analizirali smo tri različita tipa soba.

We lookedпогледао at roomsСобе that were mechanicallymehanički ventilatedHiperventilirao,

3000

02:08
And we alsoтакође sampledisprobao the outdoorna otvorenom airваздух.
49
113000
2000
I takođe smo analizirali vazduh iz spoljašnje sredine.
02:10
If you look at the x-axisx-ose of this graphграф,
50
115000
3000
Ukoliko pogledate X-osu ovog grafika,
02:13
you'llти ћеш see that what we commonlyобично want to do --
51
118000
3000
uočićete da mi uobičajano želimo da
02:16
whichкоја is keepingчување the outdoorsна отвореном out --
52
121000
2000
zadržimo spoljašnju sredinu izvan
02:18
we accomplishedостварено that with mechanicalмеханички ventilationVentilacija.
53
123000
3000
i to postižemo mehaničkim ventilacionim sistemom.
02:21
So if you look at the greenзелен dataподаци pointsбодова,
54
126000
2000
Ako pogledate skupove podataka predstavljene zelenom bojom,
02:23
whichкоја is airваздух that's outsideспоља,
55
128000
2000
koje predstavljaju vazduh spoljašnje sredine,
02:25
you'llти ћеш see that there's a largeвелики amountизнос of microbialмикроби diversityразноликост,

uočićete veliku raznolikost mikroba,

or varietyсорта of microbialмикроби typesврсте.
57
133000
2000
ili različite tipove mirkoba.
02:30
But if you look at the blueПлави dataподаци pointsбодова,
58
135000
2000
Ali ukoliko pogledate rezultate predstavljene plavom bojom,
02:32
whichкоја is mechanicallymehanički ventilatedHiperventilirao airваздух,
59
137000
2000
a to je mehanički filtriran vazduh,
02:34
it's not as diverseразнолика.
60
139000
3000
tu nema biološke raznovrsnosti.
02:37
But beingбиће lessмање diverseразнолика
61
142000
2000
Ali manja raznovrsnost
02:39
is not necessarilyнужно good for our healthздравље.
62
144000
2000
ne znači da je to bezuslovno dobro za naše zdravlje.
02:41
If you look at the y-axisy-ose of this graphграф,
63
146000
3000
Ukoliko pogledate y-osu grafikona,
02:44
you'llти ћеш see that, in the mechanicallymehanički ventilatedHiperventilirao airваздух,
64
149000
3000
uočićete da u mehanički filtriranom vazduhu,
02:47
you have a higherвише probabilityвероватноћа
65
152000
2000
postoji veća verovatnoća
02:49
of encounteringNema dovoljno a potentialпотенцијал pathogenpatogen,

than if you're outdoorsна отвореном.
68
158000
2000
u poređenju sa spoljašnjom sredinom.
02:55
So to understandРазумем why this was the caseслучај,
69
160000
3000
Kako bismo razumeli zašto se ovo dešava,
02:58
we tookузела our dataподаци
70
163000
2000
mi smo analizirali naše podatke
03:00
and put it into an ordinationkoordinacije diagramдијаграм,

03:04

73
169000
2000
koja vam govori
03:06
about how relatedповезан the microbialмикроби communitiesзаједнице are
74
171000
2000
koliko su povezane zajednice mikroba
03:08
in the differentразличит samplesУзорци.
75

03:10

76

77
177000
3000

03:15

78
180000
2000
u odnosu na skupve podataka koji su udaljeniji.
03:17
And the first things that you can see from this graphграф
79
182000
2000
I prva stvar koju možete pročitati sa ovog grafika
03:19
is, if you look at the blueПлави dataподаци pointsбодова,
80
184000
2000
je, da ukoliko pogledate podatke u plavoj boji,
03:21
whichкоја are the mechanicallymehanički ventilatedHiperventilirao airваздух,
81
186000
3000
koji predstavaljaju mehanički filtritan vazduh,
03:24
they're not simplyједноставно a subsetподсет of the greenзелен dataподаци pointsбодова,
82
189000
3000
to nije prosto podskup grupe podataka u zelenoj boji,
03:27
whichкоја are the outdoorna otvorenom airваздух.
83
192000
2000
koji predsatvlja spoljašnji vazduh.
03:29
What we'veми смо foundнашао is that mechanicallymehanički ventilatedHiperventilirao airваздух
84
194000
3000
Ono što smo mi pronašli jeste da mehanički filtriran vazduh
03:32
looksизглед like humansљуди.
85
197000
2000
podseća na ljudska bića.
03:34
It has microbesмикроби on it
86
199000
2000
Sastoji se od mikroba

I to je usled toga što

we're all constantlyстално sheddingprolivanje microbesмикроби.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jessica Green - Engineer and biodiversity scientist
Jessica Green wants people to understand the important role microbes play in every facet of our lives: climate change, building ecosystems, human health, even roller derby -- using nontraditional tools like art, animation and film to help people visualize the invisible world.

Why you should listen

Jessica Green, a TED2010 Fellow and TED2011 Senior Fellow, is an engineer and ecologist who specializes in biodiversity theory and microbial systems. As a professor at both the University of Oregon and the Santa Fe Institute, she is the founding director of the innovative Biology and the Built Environment (BioBE) Center that bridges biology and architecture.

Green envisions a future with genomic-driven approaches to architectural design that promote sustainability, human health and well-being. She is spearheading efforts to model buildings as complex ecosystems that house trillions of diverse microorganisms interacting with each other, with humans, and with their environment. This framework uses next-generation sequencing technology to characterize the “built environment microbiome” and will offer site-specific design solutions to minimize the spread of infectious disease and maximize building energy efficiency.
