alleviating energy Poverty in india “If I can replace kerosene lamps with solar powered lighting, I can prevent tons of toxins from being released into the atmosphere. I can save these villagers money. I can increase their quality of life, increase their productivity at night. And I could potentially save lives. All for a small investment of $10. In today’s economy that’s what, two lattes?”

“I’m embarrassed by the statistics our country has. I’m embarrassed by the fact that my profession, from academic medicine to the implementation of my profession, has failed America. What happened to my profession? When did it become socially acceptable that a physician can refuse a patient because they have no money?”

“I take you back to the universe. The answers are out there.

We are explorers. We have always been explorers. We cannot be one-planet wonders. We have to take the right path in this crossroads. We need to fund education. We need to make sure NASA stays healthy. We need to inspire our children to learn about the universe.”

James Webb Physics Professor go.fiu.edu/Webb

when are You Really dead?

“It would be a logical approach to assume life and death are, in fact, opposites. But frankly, under the law, if you make that assumption, pardon the pun, you would be dead wrong. The law does not, in fact, treat life and death as opposites. It treats them completely independent of each other.”

what do You see?

“It’s very easy for us to look at a person in a wheelchair, with crutches or with any kind of device, and that’s the first thing we see. I believe that those devices, rather than being something that stops us from achieving a dream, they’re actually a potential, a challenge that allows you to go anywhere you want to be.”

a Global Plan for avoiding disasters “Natural disasters. It trips off the tongue. We say it too easily. Change the inflection: natural disasters? Not so much. Natural events? Yes. Nature provides those. But the disasters, what we put in harm’s way – ourselves, our societies, our economies – well, that’s on us.”

Can a 12 Year Old Be a leader?

“I founded and started a nonprofit organization dedicated and devoted to teaching leadership skills to MiamiDade middle school students. I was passionate about leadership and I made sure I was doing something with that passion. Just imagine, now that we are teaching 12 year olds what to do with these skills, what they can accomplish when they are older.”

Student Phillip Koenig

UnitY: a latin tribute to the King of Pop “We did this to prove to the world how important Michael Jackson is to all of us. Not only his music, but his message of unity. I am Peruvian but grew up here, and when people ask where I’m from, I say from all over the place. We are here for one reason, to unite.”
