Today’s guest is a world-renown scientist and an educator — and a fearless peacebuilder. Dr. Zafra Lerman has spent her life using science not just to understand the world, but to change it. From creating groundbreaking science education programs that use art to captivate students, to founding the Malta Conferences, where scientists from enemy nations come together in the name of peace, her work proves that science has no borders when it comes to hope.
Her work has been recognized globally, including multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominations, the U.S. Presidential Award for Mentoring Minorities in Science presented by President Bill Clinton, and the prestigious Andrei Sakharov Award for Human Rights from the American Physical Society. She has also been honored by UNESCO, the U.S. State Department, and leading peace and science organizations worldwide.
Pull up a chair. It’s story time—with Dr. Zafra Lerman.
