| Dear Friends,
What an exciting year we had in 5782! We left COVID-19 and its masks behind and turned back to greeting each other face-to-face. It was wonderful to meet many of you in Jerusalem during the last Board of Governors.
The Hebrew University went through a remarkable year in research, academic achievements, scientific publications, teaching, international collaboration, and more. Our 77th Shanghai ranking is the best proof of this and makes us very proud!
This newsletter will bring you some recent news, and you can read about exciting upcoming events in Europe. More events will be announced shortly.
I wish you and your family Shana Tova and Chag Sameach!
Best wishes for good health and prosperity in the upcoming year!
Shana Tova,
Daniel Shriqui

| | Ancient Anatomy in the Digital Age
|

|
|
| The heart has often been used as a symbol of romantic love. But if you ask Dr. Orly Lewis, of Hebrew University's Department of Classics in the Faculty of Humanities, the heart, and how its defined in ancient Greek and Roman texts, could mean many other things. That’s because Lewis studies anatomy in ancient Greece and Rome, and how people back then explored and interpreted the living body, its structure and its workings. Today, Lewis is working on a ground breaking multidisciplinary research project firmly positioned in the innovative area of the digital humanities, implementing a novel and innovative model for studying ancient science and medicine. |
