The Tomorrow Lab Summit
The Tomorrow Lab Summit

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/feature-stories/the-tomorrow-lab-summit/

May 14, 2013... “The planets have a beat,” said Dr. Oded Aharonson, snapping his fingers. Skyped in from Israel into a Manhattan boardroom on May 10, Aharonson is a scientist who has operated the rover on Mars. Some of his pictures of Titan are among those that have given us, on earth, a more accurate perspective on what it means to live in a solar system.
He held up a basketball, partly because he needed a round object to show the oscillations of the earth’s climate cycles and partly because the Tomorrow Lab Summit was being hosted by and is a community partner of NBA Cares. NBA Commissioner David Stern was one of the two men at the head of the table and the other was Marshall Levin, the President and CEO of the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science, the organization that created the Tomorrow Lab project to support the mission of science for the benefit of humanity.
