 ביקר אירליג'ס דורמטורי, wherein great emphasis is given to the study of the old Jewish scriptures used to quote the book of Joshua לא ימוש ספר התורה הזה מפיחה ואגית הבויומם בלילה כי אז תצליחי דרכה ואז תשכיל loosely translated it means that you should study the Torah all day and all night and then you will be educated and then you will be successful שיהיה רגיל קרות בילדה רגיל של המהותלה שזאת הלכה כל זה קרות בלילה כי אני הייתי כבר סתת כאלה ומעוטה ואז נעשו לי שבישה שם ידעתי הרבה מקוון, שהאני אוכלת להעבור שלתי את המשקר רגילי של הפסוח הrevolution ‫לעון שהריס תוטל ‫התפסקה של המחשבים. ‫הוא קצת כתוביל ומספריית, ‫תדהיינת כתוביל. ‫חגותי חכות כתוביל ‫בספריית, מתמטיקה ותנתיקה, ‫שהתארתות של אינטרית ‫הפסיקה ואסטרונמי. ‫התתתתתתתת של המחשב ‫היהם קצת. ‫לבדם אני פשוט על תתתתת ‫במהלדים ובאונדדיקה, ‫במקשת ובספריית ובספריית. אני הייתה אגב שלagd mandate אז אני הייתה מאז ואני הייתי ספסי סעון ב possível ובסבר ככה, אני הייתהgranד כך אני הייתה נכנסה שביקה על שם ובאתי ‫לגעת 3 שנים לפתר, ‫לפתר של החדש של החדש שלנו, ‫אבל משהו עשיתי. ‫שעשי וטכנולוגיה ‫לא נראית לנכמס את כל מה שרואים לי, ‫שאם אנחנו גם פרודקטים של היסטוריה. ‫אז אני חושב על פשוט ‫אין עוד דגרי, ‫אבל כאן, בפילוסופי היסטוריה. ‫ששבעה שנים, אני חושב, ‫אבל אחת 6 שנים, ‫בסבירים הישראלים, ‫כי אני חושב על לב ‫לחשב וחשב ואיפה אני חושב.��י surgeries wanted to do research, so I joined this center of bio-engineering in the Hebrew University. As soon as I heard the word bio-engineering, I was curious, it was a true shock to what I considered to be the structure of knowledge at that time. Later I learned that the structure of knowledge becomes more interesting when realizing that disciplines are interconnected and indeed, disciplines are dynamic entities. Each discipline has three dimensions, framework, concerns, and methodologies, and each discipline evolves along those three dimensions while creating bridges to other disciplines. When new bridges rise, new disciplines are formed, like bioengineering, astrobiology, and satellite archaeology. Today the cross-connectivity of disciplines is breathtaking. It seems that the ever-growing body of disciplines becomes more and more interconnected. This is one reflection of the fact that the pursuit for innovation lies within the structure of knowledge. During my master's research at the Center for Bioengineering, I learned how true realization regarding science and medicine can emerge from the inter-connectivity of allegedly discrete disciplines. So diabetes is a growing epidemic affecting hundreds of millions of people all around the world. I overtook a project in which my main concern was diabetic retinopathy, which is the second most frequent cause for blindness in India and in the US. The disease is basically defined by microanorisms. Local expansions of capillaries in the retina that disturb the hemodynamic forces inside the capillaries, leading to cell dysfunction, leakage, and rapture. ליקת blood in the retina can cause black spots in the vision field, which can slowly progress into total blindness. So we developed a mathematical model that describes microanorisms, and we used this model in order to define a critical threshold for the treatment of microanorisms using laser ablation. So what we have done is we used mathematical models to derive the dimensionless behavior of the problem. We used numerical methods, we derived from computer science to generalize it. We validated our model using a miniature model of the retina, which we fabricated using tools we utilized from the microelectronics industry. We used our findings to describe a classic phenomenon in fluid dynamics, traditionally dealt with in applied physics. We then explored the implication of our results on living cells, and then we took our model to the clinics experimented with human retinas, which demonstrated the validity of our results. Thank you. Our insights emerged from connecting frameworks, methodologies, and concerns of different disciplines, and it can literally save patients' vision. Well, this project, it probably was a turning point in my life. It was the first time where I experienced the power of large-scale integration of science, but connectivity can go beyond research and reach innovation and entrepreneurship. Last time I was invited to NASA Research Center in California to Singulat University, where I co-invented the GloVe Try Coder. Modern medical interfaces neglect the role of touch in the physician-patient relationship. We decided to emphasize and enhance it, so we invented a new medical interface in the form of a glove that digitized touch and telecommunicated. Our technology can be embedded in recent medical revolutions as wearable diagnostic medical devices and telemedicine platforms. Our thinking revolved around utilizing capabilities from microelectronics, robotics, software engineering, and telecommunication. We also considered the implication of our results on society in terms of ethics and regulations. Another important aspect was the business model required to create an economically sustainable R&D. Again, it was more about connecting the dots than creating new ones. Connectivity can go beyond research and beyond innovation. It can even touch art. This is an image we took using high resolution microscopy. This is the eye of a micro storm. Only half the diameter of a strand of hair. This is a storm of nanoparticles which were introduced into a microfabricated device. So innovation can promote innovation and revolutionize education. It has changed the way I teach and interact with my students. Last year, I developed a course in which I took 20 students from 10 different disciplines. From computer science to neurobiology to atmospheric sciences and psychology. I taught them transdisciplinary methodologies in computer science and I was amazed by the results. We were presented with projects that span from 3D visualization of clouds using direct link to NASA satellites to data encryption and decryption using optical fibers. By making the architecture of knowledge, the syllabus of the course, we can give the education system the one thing it's missing the most, a meaning. A feeling that we are not educated to be a small screw in a great system, but rather we are taking apart in Plato's vision on the unity of knowledge and reality. So specialization is important, but we cannot make it the only thing that matters. We can dissolve disciplinary boundaries by simplifying technicalities and reducing our challenges to modular design. And design is the one attribute in which human life is above all other known forms of life.
