Kesher Talk

Cooperation can be cool: Did you know that Palestinians and Israelis worked together on a science project for the Columbia space shuttle trip? Palestinian biology student Tariq Adwan and Israeli medical student Yuval Landau combined on an astrobiology experiment to study the effects of space on cells and DNA. The findings could offer insight into whether microbes could travel between planets, bolstering a theory known as panspermia, which holds that Earth was seeded with life from the cosmos.
