From July 26th to 28th Palestinian physicists and the international group “Scientists for Palestine,” are organizing the first ever ‘Palestinian Advanced Physics School’ at the Arab American University in Jenin. Professor Stephen Hawking, a member of the project’s International Advisory Board, says “Physics does not respect borders and international collaborations are the engines of rapid scientific progress. I am delighted to see that physics education and research in Palestine continues to grow and strengthen its international connections. I wish the students the best of luck!”
