Additional Details
9:00 — Emotions, Stigmas, and Cognitive Distortions Among Leaders in the Middle Eastern Arena
Lecturer: Dr. Michal Yaari — Middle East scholar, lecturer, and researcher at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
We will analyze and examine how the relations between Israel and its neighbors, as well as decision-making processes, are based on emotions, images, and cognitive distortions that lead to mutual suspicion. What mechanisms can “break” stigmas and create rational decision-making processes?
10:45 — What Is Genetic Engineering, and What Is Its Medical Contribution?
On Groundbreaking Research and Applications
Lecturer: Prof. Yedidya Gafni — researcher and lecturer at Bar-Ilan University
We will learn about the various studies and applications of genetic engineering in human cells, bacteria, and plants, and become familiar with their tremendous contributions both to medical purposes—such as diagnosing and treating serious diseases and organ transplantation—and to everyday aspects intended to improve and enhance our quality of life.
