PEACE with Penny SEASON 4: Penny S.Tee Interviews Zafra Lerman, President of the Malta Conference Foundation, February 28, 2023
We spoke with Zafra Lerman, President of the Malta Conference Foundation. The Malta Conference Foundation just completed their tenth symposium of scientists and Nobel Laureates aptly named:
Frontiers of Science: Innovation, Research, and Education in the Middle East
A Bridge to Peace
The Malta Conferences Foundation is the only platform in the world which brings together scientists from 15 Middle East countries (Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates) with Nobel Laureates to work for 5 days on solving regional problems, establishing cross-border collaborations, and forging relationships that bridge chasms of distrust and intolerance.
Zafra Lerman is a scientist, educator, and humanitarian. She has over 40 distinguished international awards and was just nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for the fifth time! She holds a PhD in chemistry from the Weizmann Institute of Science and conducted research on isotope effects at Cornell and Northwestern Universities in the US, and the ETH, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland.
Ms. Lerman also developed an innovative approach of teaching science at all levels using art, music, dance, drama, rap, and cultural backgrounds. Needless to say she is a very accomplished and interesting person.
