On Tuesday, March 10 Neha Skandan '21 will present her talk entitled "Empowering Teenagers: A New Frontier in the Battle Against the Opioid Crisis."

The title of this TEDxLehighRiver event is "Always/Never; Sometimes/Maybe." Presenters will explore the human capacity for imperatives that are Always or Never, and the trade offs we are willing to make, Sometimes or Maybe. The theme is meant to evoke new ways of understanding and thinking about human imperatives, juxtaposed with our willingness and ability to make trade offs that may indeed be beneficial, depending on one's perspective. Focusing on the categorical imperative as defined by Immanuel Kant, it denotes an absolute, unconditional requirement that must be obeyed in all circumstances, and is justified as an end in itself.
