Professor David Block is an astronomer and highly sought after motivational speaker, who has devoted over 30 years to sharing the wonders of the Cosmos, as well as to encouraging audiences around the globe to always Look Up – and to never, never, never give up!
He speaks from the heart; sharing in-depth lessons such as:
How to
•Thrive on Chaos •Create a new mindset in your personal and corporate life •Stay at, the cutting edge of your dreams and aspirations
In 2013, Professor Block was acclaimed by BHP Billiton and the National Science and Technology Forum as South Africa’s foremost Communicator of Science.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in London, at age 19. Professor Block has been a visiting scientist at Harvard University, the Australian National University – and many others.
“David Block is one of South Africa’s greatest jewels, an ambassador for astronomy” pens the former President of the American Astronomical Society, Debra Elmegreen.
In these broadcasts, Professor Block will share from his vast baskets of experience, in both the worlds of the macrocosm (cutting-edge scientific discoveries) and relating these, to your personal (microscopic) world.
