What do pirates, air conditioning, and the shuffle button have in common? They weren’t meant to spark revolutions, but they did. In this talk, Daniela and Tatiana explore how small innovations and forgotten stories may have quietly shaped the world we live in today. From early experiments in pirate self-governance, to the political effects of air conditioning, to the way the shuffle button on our playlists may have rewired our generation’s brains. They invite us to reconsider how change happens. Not through grand design, but often through quiet, unexpected turns. My name is Tatiana Gari, and I’m in my final year studying Business Economics at the University of Exeter. As part of my placement year, I spent 12 months at UBS within their Investment Banking division, gaining experience in both the M&A and DCM teams. This sparked a strong interest in finance, which I’m now continuing to pursue with Evercore this summer. I’m a detail-oriented individual with a passion for learning and expanding my knowledge.

I'm currently studying biotechnology with a concentration in tissue engineering, having split my academic path between Duke University and the Barcelona Institute of Chemical Engineering. From early on, I was drawn to the problem-solving nature of science; curious not just about how things work in the lab, but how they make their way into the real world. Such curiosity led me to intern at the Synbio Translational Synthetic Biology Lab, where I assisted on research at the intersection of biology and engineering. My restlessness also led me to intern at Asabys Partners, a healthcare-focused VC fund, where I gained a different vantage point that showed me how scientific breakthroughs rely not only on innovation, but also on capital. This perspective has shaped my decision to transition into finance. Currently, I’m excited to be joining J.P. Morgan as an incoming investment banking analyst, where I hope to keep bridging the gap between scientific potential and capital. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
