“For My Kids” Randy Pausch was a brilliant, innovative scientist at Carnegie Mellon University. When he was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, he gave a talk titled “The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” that became famous worldwide. He devoted the final 10 months of his life to his family—his wife Jai and their children Chloë, Dylan, and Logan.
