Keynote Address

The Ascent of Man by Jacob Bronowski
"The genius of men like Newton and Einstein is that they ask transparent, innocent questions which turn out to have catastrophic answers. "

"If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that it is impossible, he is very probably wrong." - Arthur C Clarke

Impact of teachers are greater than surgeons. Surgeons can only kill one at a time while a teacher can "kill" an entire cohort.

"We have guided missles and misguided man" - Martin Lurther King Jr

It is not discipline-centric but problem-centric.
It is not faculty-centric but solution-centric.
It is not scientist-centric but team-centric.
