Here are few questions I am considering for our interview:
1. Did you always have a love for science and if so, who or what inspired that interest? You are also a high achiever. Which aspect of your work drew people's interest in what you do:
a). your extraordinary performance in academics
b). your interest in areas that are cutting edge
2. With your work in pharmacology and heavy emphasis in the peptides and neuropeptides our own body makes, along with your emphasis in cell membrane receptors, along with your interest in how the two interact to influence the immune system; it appears your research is complicated and rewarding, yet you have a very simple objective in mind. Will you explain a little more about that? How should the world benefit from what you are looking into?
3. Candace, I'd like to share with the audience, if I may, that most pharmacologists do research similar to yours yet the whole body of research in these area is quite diverse. Is it true that the majority of research is funded by pharmaceutical companies who then use the findings to make medicinal agents? Based on that traditional research infrastructure how would you describe your work, those who sponsor your work, and how your sponsors want to utilize the findings in the long run?
4. Have you been satisfied with your discoveries and the rate at which you uncover these findings?
5. Regarding your current research (and your research is long-term) are your findings fundamentally similar to what you have known all along or are your recent findings very different than what you expected.?
7. Your professional-scientific journals are awesome, above or around 300 in total and you also author books for the layperson. How has your message to the world at large been inspired through your research?
8. Do you use intuition with scientific protocol, and if so, in what capacity?
9. Spiritual Technology is theme for the visionary workstation, and so I'd like to ask, how are you defining spirituality these days and how does spirituality work into your scientific work?
10. Do you consider your research cutting edge, controversial, revolutionary, or in-step with other colleagues in research?
11. Have you always known as a child, for instance, that you would help a lot of people? Did you ever encounter sexual discrimination as a woman in a graduate program?
12. You have a pretty exciting career in the lecture-book writing circuit and you probably had options in choosing a publishing company. How did you cross paths with Hay House?
13. How can we keep up with your appearances in order to attend?
14. Candace, do you feel you are fulfilling your higher-purpose at this time in life? How do you know?
15. Candace, could you please share with the audience some words of encouragement inspiring us to find our path, become our path, and be in service to the world without fear of failure?
