How to use your muscles — or risk losing them (w/ Bonnie Tsui)
Did you know that you start losing bone AND muscle mass as soon as the age of thirty? Or that your fingers and toes don’t have muscles? Or how women in Scotland are starting to compete in the lighting of Dinnie Stones – which weighs 733 pounds?! These are topics that Chris discussed with Bonnie Tsui, author of the book On Muscle: The Stuff That Moves Us and Why It Matters. They also discuss what strength and weightlifting means in today’s society – especially as more women enter the sport. Bonnie and Chris also discuss studying martial arts, playing on sports teams, and the benefits of functional mobility as you age.WatchBonnie teaches Chris to surf: https://youtu.be/YOryOy1qL00Bonnie and Chris' interview: https://youtu.be/Z3WnwLtVUesFollowHost: Chris Duffy (Instagram: @chrisiduffy | https://chrisduffycomedy.com/)Guest: Bonnie Tsui (Instagram: @bonnietsui8 | Website: https://www.bonnietsui.com/)LinksHumor Me by Chris Duffy (https://t.ted.com/ZGuYfcL)Buy Bonnie's book On Muscle: https://tinyurl.com/onmuscleNewsletter: https://www.bonnietsui.com/eventsOther handles:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bonnietsuiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonnie-tsui-71a57775Threads: https://www.threads.com/@bonnietsui8Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bonnietsuiFollow TED!

How Texas became America’s biggest producer of wind energy (from Speed & Scale)
This is the surprising story of how Texas – rich in oil and gas – became America's biggest producer of wind energy. For our first episode, Ryan and Anjali talk with Pat Wood, once George W. Bush’s right hand man and head of Texas's Public Utility Commission, to uncover the innovative approach that turned Texas into a renewable energy powerhouse. It’s a story about what could get done before partisan politics got in the way of good climate policy, and it shows that economic incentives for consumers, government, and companies can play a huge role in supercharging clean energy.For the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscriptsInterested in learning more about upcoming TED events?
