Not all that glitters is gold. Especially when it’s tinged with the poison of toxic mercury. On this week’s Curious Climate, co-host Maryam Pasha speaks to the rainforest toxicologist exposing mercury contamination in artisanal gold mining in the Amazon, live at TED 2025. The founding mercury research director at the Centro de Innovación Científica Amazónica (CINCIA) and TED Fellow Claudia Vega partners with miners, healthcare workers, and policy makers, to transform cutting-edge science into tangible solutions to protect gold miners and critical ecosystems.
