Can Science Bring Enemies Together? | Dr. Zafra Lerman

What if science could accomplish something politics often struggles to achieve—bringing people divided by conflict together? In this episode of Little Wild Experiences, Zhara York welcomes Dr. Zafra Lerman, internationally recognized chemist, educator, human rights advocate, and founder of the Malta Conferences Foundation. Dr. Lerman shares how her passion for science evolved into a lifelong commitment to human rights and peace. From secretly meeting persecuted scientists in the Soviet Union to creating conferences that bring together researchers from across the Middle East, her journey demonstrates the power of courage, education, and human connection. We also explore her creative approach to teaching chemistry through dance and music, the importance of critical thinking, and how individual actions can inspire meaningful change. *In this conversation:* Science diplomacy and cooperation across borders Courage and defending human rights Bringing scientists together despite political conflict Creative approaches to science education The power of kindness and human connection Creating a chain reaction for peace *Can education help overcome the divisions between people?* Join the conversation and share your perspective. *Connect with Dr. Zafra Lerman:* Website: https://zafralerman.com/ Malta Conferences Foundation: https://www.maltaconferencesfoundatio...
