Testimonial

When the Stars of Science team contacted me to join program as an expert; it was first time I had heard about such a brilliant program in the Arab world. After living 40 years out of the Middle-East, I was disconnected and didn’t even imagine such an initiative can exist in our region.

I particularly enjoyed technical and scientific discussions, learned to adjust highly specialized terms for communication to a large audience, and openly exchanged ideas on different topics. In my view; the Stars of Science working environment can be compared to the Tower of Babel where all languages are spoken, people are blended from all over the Arab world, they live scattered and they convene in a large lab for inventions.
