I went on a 5-day MIT equivalent of a field trip. We met with a previous Knesset member, and toured the old city of Jerusalem, along with visiting Tel Aviv, Haifa, and a super old port city that I can't remember the name of.

It may be monotonous at times, but, hey, that's bio research!

We also went ( Read more... )

He has been a paramedic since paramedics were invented. I like the class because it is actually relevant, unlike ( Read more... )
