World’s youngest professor can’t legally drink
Alia Sabur, a prodigy in many ways, says she wants to share her knowledge
Perhaps in Alia Sabur’s wildly advanced studies she came across a famous quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
“Knowing is not enough. We must apply,” the German writer once observed.
That could serve as explanation for what prompted the 19-year-old to become the youngest college professor in history.
Armed with prodigious wisdom, Sabur told TODAY’s Ann Curry on Wednesday that knowledge is power — especially when sharing it.
“I really enjoy teaching,” said Sabur. “It’s something where you can make a difference. It’s not just what you can do, but you can enable a lot of other people to make their changes.”
Sabur, from Northport, N.Y., has clearly been ahead of the learning curve since an early age.
