Juggling Dynamite

Danielle was a guest on Money Talks radio with Michael Campbell today at 9 am PT (noon ET).  You can listen to an audio clip of the segment here under January 2 interview of the week.

Stellar astronomer and TED Senior Fellow Lucianne Walkowicz works on NASA’s Kepler mission, searching for places in the universe that could support life. So it’s worth a listen when she asks us to think carefully about Mars. In this short talk, she suggests that we stop dreaming of Mars as a place that we’ll eventually move to when we’ve messed up Earth, and to start thinking of planetary exploration and preservation of the Earth as two sides of the same goal. As she says, “The more you look for planets like Earth, the more you appreciate our own planet.”  Here is a direct video link.

Whatever our goals this year, may we always remember that each of us are the master of the change we wish to see: “If it is to be it is up to me.”  Teach, lead and inspire!
