🕎#6: Introducing David Reich, the geneticist who is rewriting human history! 🧬 From ancient DNA to ground-breaking insights into our ancestry, his work uncovers the secrets of our past and shows how deeply connected we all are. 🌍

🕎 Chanukah Night 3! Meet Jonas Salk, the brilliant mind who helped bring an end to one of the world’s most feared diseases. From a young Jewish student in New York to developing the first safe and effective polio vaccine, his story is one of grit, brilliance, and humanity.

🕎 Welcome to night one of Bright Minds, Bright Lights, where we celebrate some of the brilliant Jewish minds that shaped modern genetics! Tonight, we shine a light on François Jacob, a soldier, scientist, and Nobel laureate who helped decode the very language of life.
