Le professeur de 544 kilos | Anna Banas-Chen | TEDxSCA Youth

Dans cette intervention TEDx, Anna Banas-Chen, auteure de 13 ans, cavalière et future scientifique vétérinaire originaire du Massachusetts occidental, explore ce qu'un cheval peut apprendre sur les liens humains. Forte de années d'équitation et de recherches scientifiques, elle affirme que la respiration, la posture et les émotions peuvent communiquer plus que les mots. Elle relie cette idée à la confiance authentique dans un monde de plus en plus façonné par l'IA. L'intervention a eu lieu lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de façon indépendante.

• Le cheval comme miroir des liens et de la confiance
• Respiration, posture et émotions comme signaux
• Recherche menée par une jeune scientifique sur la musique et les chevaux de performance

What can a 1,200-pound horse teach us about human connection? Drawing from her years of horseback riding and scientific research, Anna reveals how the smallest signals—our breath, posture, and emotions—can speak louder than words. In a world increasingly shaped by AI, she reminds us that genuine trust begins not with what we say, but with what we truly feel and communicate. Anna Banas-Chen is a 13-year-old author, youth advocate, equestrian, and aspiring veterinary scientist from Western Massachusetts. Her love for animals has led her from writing books and raising money for charity to conducting award-winning research on how music affects performance horses. She also helped launch Massachusetts’ first official Veterinary Youth Day and co-organized events at the State House and Dakin Humane Society to introduce more young people to veterinary medicine. Anna has spoken at the United Nations, published two children’s books, and continues to use science, storytelling, and advocacy to show that young people can make a real difference long before they grow up. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
