297-What If Science Could End War? Feat. Zafra Lerman

Dr. Zafra Lerman uses science diplomacy to unite Middle Eastern countries in conflict, demonstrating how collaborative problem-solving can transcend political boundaries and foster peace.

• Founder of the Malta Conferences bringing together scientists from all Middle Eastern countries including Israel, Palestine, Iran, and others
• Creates equality among participants by having Nobel laureates give plenary lectures so no country appears favored
• Uses innovative teaching methods incorporating art, dance, music and theater to make science accessible
• Helped homeless students understand complex scientific concepts through creative expression, with some later earning PhDs
• Risked her safety smuggling scientific materials to dissidents in the Soviet Union
• Believes critical thinking skills are essential for evaluating information in an era of misinformation
• Demonstrates how ordinary people can make extraordinary differences through persistent, focused action
• Emphasizes that everyone can contribute to making the world better through small, intentional acts of kindness

All proceeds from Dr. Lerman's book "Human Rights and Peace: A Personal Odyssey" support the Malta Conferences and their peace-building mission in the Middle East.
