09:00 – Following the Honey Hunters in the Himalayas: A Fascinating Journey into the Unbelievable
Lecturer: Limor Tzadok — psychoanalyst, traveler, and researcher of cultures
We will set out on a journey following the honey hunters on the cliffs of the Himalayas in Nepal. For 2,000 years, the men of the tribe have lowered themselves with the help of ladders and ropes among the clouds of bees on the cliffs of the Himalayan range in order to harvest honeycombs. We will hear Limor’s story as she joined them on their tumultuous journey.
10:45 – The Meaning and Medical Contribution of Genetic Engineering: Groundbreaking Research and Applications
Lecturer: Prof. Yedidya Gafni — researcher and lecturer, Bar-Ilan University
We will learn about various studies and applications of genetic engineering in human cells, bacteria, and plants, and become acquainted with their enormous contributions both for medical purposes—such as diagnosing and treating serious diseases, organ transplantation, and more—and in everyday aspects, with the aim of improving and enhancing our quality of life.
