| Jul 28, 2014 at 3:20 | comment | added | vzn | a TED talk is not the same as a scientific paper but most are backed by scientific papers which can be mined for refs/ data etc. most speakers are academically credible and many are top in their fields. however, topics can be inherently controversial and paradigm shifting in the Kuhnian sense. | |

Fixed an error in the sentence structure.

| Jul 24, 2014 at 8:40 | comment | added | Viktor Mellgren | For this particular example I assume Rosling uses the same data as Gapminder, and that data is showing full disclosure gapminder.org/data "The table below contains a summary of the indicator and, where applicable, links to the data provider and documentation." | |

| Jul 23, 2014 at 16:04 | comment | added | user18072 | The on-topic version would be "can you cite TED in an academic presentation or paper?" | |

| Jul 23, 2014 at 15:20 | comment | added | Trylks | @EnergyNumbers I'd say that dissemination is part of academia and TED talks are part of dissemination. AFAIK, there is a good number of TED talks (maybe more than 50%?) in which the speaker is a reputed researcher. | |
| Jul 23, 2014 at 15:15 | comment | added | Trylks | @ff524 "Requirements and expectations of academicians", is the accuracy and scientific rigor of academy expected in TED talks?, are academics expected to produce and present results in such an exciting way as TED talks?, are they useful for people in academia?, how? etc. In short, if we were to make an informal Venn diagram with TED talks and academia, how would they overlap? | |

"believe in" is religious and implies opinionation. The title can be expressed succinctly.

| Jul 23, 2014 at 13:50 | comment | added | Ooker | This isn't a question about specific statistic. The clip above is just an example. I think this question satisfies the fourth bullet: Requirements and expectations of academicians | |
| Jul 23, 2014 at 13:44 | comment | added | 410 gone | This question appears to be off-topic because it is not about academia. If there's a specific quoted statistic you want fact-checking, try Skeptics | |
| Jul 23, 2014 at 13:21 | comment | added | Austin Henley | Just because it has to do with science doesn't mean it is on topic. I thought TED was for entertainment, not serious science, so like anything else, take it with a grain of salt. | |
| Jul 23, 2014 at 13:00 | comment | added | Ooker | I think that this question should be belonged to this site, not Skeptics. It's something like "should we believe in science?", not "do scientists say so?". | |

| Jul 23, 2014 at 12:06 | comment | added | Piotr Migdal | @ff524 I think that a question on scientific/academic credibility of particular sources should be on topic here. | |
