Help Finding Jonas Salk Interview
1 points by MTmind 4950 days ago
Jonas Salk, as you may know, was the man who discovered the cure for polio - which has saved 500,000 lives every year since it's discovery. What you may not know is the man had extremely deep views on people and their place in this unfolding universe. He discusses these views in detail in an Academy of Achievement interview he conducted in 1991. Quotes from this interview can be found on Wikiquote, https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jonas_Salk .

The entire interview, however, is out of grasp because the Academy of Achievement website seems broken. If someone could find a legal way to access this video, I'm sure it would benefit the entire hacker news community.

Maybe this isn't the interview you are seeking, but I had no trouble getting to this version on the Academy of Achievement site.

Thank you so much for the PDF, I still can't access the website for some reason. You've honestly made my day, thank you so much :)
