Behind the Scenes: How to prepare for and deliver a Last Lecture
bit.ly/5questio...
The Last Lecture belongs to a venerable academic tradition designed to answer a single question: "If you had but one lecture to give, what would you say?"
On April 25, Dan Lowenstein -- one of UCSF's most beloved professors -- said a lot. "I must admit that the experience of thinking about what I would share with others if this were my last lecture, or my last day alive, is not foreign to me. I think often about death, not in a morbid way, but because it is so crystal clear that death can come to us at any moment. As Mahatma Gandhi famously said: 'Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.'"
