The podcourse “A Journey of Science With Dr. Farouk El-Baz” offers inspiring content grounded in the unique scientific and human experience of Dr. Farouk El-Baz, one of the most prominent Arab scientists to leave a global mark in space science and research. The podcourse takes you on a journey that begins with his early life and formative years, moves through his educational path and the shift from a dream of studying medicine to specializing in science, and then explores his experience studying in the United States and his postdoctoral years, with all the challenges and opportunities they entailed. The podcourse delves deeply into his work at NASA and his participation in the Apollo project—not only from the perspective of scientific achievement, but also through the lens of responsibility and working under pressure. It also discusses key concepts such as seizing opportunities, the role of luck across generations, and overcoming language barriers and circumstances. At its core, the podcourse delivers a practical message to the Arab youth: Learning and hard work are not bound to a place or a particular means, but to willpower and commitment.
