In an event held in October, members of the Next-Generation Science Club of the Israeli Friends Association’s WeizmannVibe took part in an interactive survey on their perception of various gender issues.
Dr. Meital Oren Suissa from the Weizmann Institute's Department of Neurobiology spoke about her research on the differences between men's and women's brains. She is trying to understand the differences between the sexes in terms of neural circuity of the brain, and relevance to disease.
After the lecture, the audience was treated to a screening of the new movie "The Other Story," by talented filmmaker and actor Avi Nesher. The film contains two parallel stories about familial relations between men and women.
