<blockquote>
  <p>Want to predict the next big epidemic? Map real-life social networks, <br>
  like friendships and workplace relationships. In this talk from <br>
  TED@Cannes, Nicholas Christakis shows how monitoring the friends of <br>
  unconnected people can give incredible insight into the spread of disease, and yield early warning of epidemics.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Outbreaks of violence follow the same patterns as outbreaks of <br>
  tuberculosis, cholera and AIDS, all of which he’d worked on reversing <br>
  during a decade in Somalia, Uganda and other parts of Africa. What <br>
  predicts violence? Slutkin realized that it is in fact like a <br>
  contagious disease because the biggest indicator is a preceding <br>
  incidence of violence.</p>
