And by monitoring populations to quickly identify new outbreaks, they can develop vaccines and containment protocols to stop these deadly diseases.

And other studies of populations at risk sensitized me to the importance of play, but I didn't really understand what it was.

So you can see the major impacts in Asia and in Africa, but also note that in countries such as the United States and countries in Europe, the populations also could be affected.

We must actively dismantle the hurdles we have created, which are leaving indigenous populations out of conservation efforts.

And you can kind of think of this as a pyramid of this bubbling up of viruses from animals into human populations.

This is the idea that we can study the sort of pinging of these viruses into human populations, the movement of these agents over into humans; and by capturing this moment, we might be able to move to a situation where we can catch them early.

So if we're going to study viral chatter, we need to get to these populations who have intensive contact with wild animals.

And ideally, this is going to allow us to catch these things early on, as they're moving over into human populations.

And the basic objective of this work is not to just go out once and look at these individuals, but to establish thousands of individuals in these populations that we would monitor continuously on a regular basis.

They're going to say, in regions of profound instability throughout the world, where you have intense poverty, where populations are growing and you don't have sustainable resources like this, this is going to lead to food insecurity.

And what we've found is that if you look in the right place, you can actually monitor the flow of these viruses into human populations.

Needless to say, different populations from different parts of the world have different sorts of contact.

I approached elders here in the village of Andavadoaka and recommended that they close off the healthiest and most diverse coral reefs to all forms of fishing to form a refuge to help stocks recover because, as the science tells us, after five or so years, fish populations inside those refuges would be much bigger, replenishing the fished areas outside, making everybody better off.

The remnant whale populations were saved by technological innovators and profit-maximizing capitalists.

They will continue to secure drug donations for additional at-risk populations.

He, as one of many urban admixed populations, is very emblematic of a mixed parentage, of a mixed pigmentation.

While the frequency of heterozygotes, individuals who have one normal copy of the gene and one mutated copy, is about one out of 27 people among Jews of Ashkenazi descent, like me, in most populations, only one in about 300 people carry the Tay-Sachs mutation.

And it explains, for example, why carriers of sickle cell anemia are more common among some African and Asian populations or those with ancestry from these tropical regions.

But the unusual prevalence of the Tay-Sachs mutation in Ashkenazi populations may be another example of heterozygote advantage.

So heterozygote advantage can help explain why problematic versions of genes persist at high frequencies in certain populations.

In the case of nearsightedness, some research suggests that one reason it's becoming more common in some populations is that many people today, including most of us in this room, spend far more time reading, writing and engaging with various types of screen than we do outside, interacting with the world on a bigger scale.

It's only really in the last sort of few weeks we've got a sense that this thing can be controllable with this extent of interventions, but of course, not all countries can do what China have done, some of these measures incur a huge social, economic, psychological burden on populations.

It has to be brought down because we're trying to serve populations who live on a dollar a day.

How do we survey populations that don't have access to technology, and speak languages we don't speak, and we don't know anyone who speaks those languages.

How do we ensure that it creates a more inclusive technology, a technology which means that not only as we grow older, that we can also grow wiser, and that we're able to support the populations of the future?
