Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. -Einstein
This is a bit of a tribute and update on my favorite teacher. Dr. Schwartz enthusiastically and persuasively teaches my AIDS; Public Health Implications class here at Emory. He is the dean of med. a joint faculty member in the school of public health, and HIV pediatrician. I cannot praise this man more. I am learning so much about HIV/AIDS it is amazing!! He constantly shares personal feelings and issues of concern, apologized if he says something insensitive to a student, and just genuinely loves teaching. I am taking this class for no credit, but it the most interesting/educational course I have. Also he has the most hilarious and important quotes on the board (none posted here, sorry) for the class; I wish I could capture them all!
MD, University of Chicago, 1977 Uganda AIDS campaign
As well, he (we think) graduated from the University of Chicago around (if not the same year) as Daddy Mo. Two great men from the same school, how coincidental!!!
