Description

The View From Mt. Scopus - A Podcast from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem “Nothing has given me such delight as the proposal to establish a Hebrew University in Jerusalem,” Albert Einstein wrote this in his diary more than a century ago - a century of cutting-edge research and innovation at Israel’s leading academic institution that Einstein, alongside many other luminaries, helped establish. In this new podcast series we explore the past, present and future of the Hebrew University, from malaria prevention to smart greenhouses, from constitutional proposals in the young State of Israel to cancer research, and much more.
