Doing Science – Even in War!
Daniel Widerker, company commander in the engineering brigade and doctoral student at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
Widerker, who leads his company in the fight in Gaza, received notice there that his article had been accepted to the prestigious science magazine, Advanced Materials Technologies.
Major Daniel Widerker
This is… after sending from Gaza (!) the latest changes he made the old way – pen on paper – and sent to his two moderators, Prof. Moran Berkovich of the Technion and Prof. Govind Kaigla of the University of British Columbia.
Daniel’s Article Corrections on Paper
In his letter to both of them, he states that “your support over the years, and especially during this crazy period, has not only given me strength in my professional career, but also provides me comfort and peace of mind. “
And Daniel’s message is “40 days since I went into battle. 40 days that the power of our people and the support of the front gives us strength every day to carry out the most important mission of all: to protect our homeland and to bring our people home.”
We all send you blessings for success in your twin missions from back home at the Technion.
