The research team, delving into the digital lives of 1,187 families, uncovered a complex web of interactions between parental behaviors and teen smartphone habits. At the heart of their findings lies a surprisingly simple yet powerful tool: communication. Open, quality discussions about smartphone use between parents and teens emerged as a cornerstone in combating PSU.
A cryptographic proof system is a protocol that allows a powerful prover to convince a much weaker verifier of the validity of a computational assertion. The verifier lacks the computational resources to perform the entire computation by itself, but nevertheless, by the end of the protocol, the verifier is convinced of its validity.
I stood alone among a few,
Between flags and eulogies,
Watching, silently listening.
They turned him, slowly and gently,
From a face to a story,
From abducted to one who loved.
A smiling sports fan.
The night before the funeral,
I climbed to the roof
To breathe, to smoke.
Gazing upwards,
I speak:
“Your sons and daughters are slaughtered,
And you stay quiet.
The judge of all the earth does not do justice.
After all, there was a judiciary overhaul.
You’re quiet, and now, so is he.
The school year opened with a strike by the Secondary School Teachers' Organization. The background for the strike is the huge shortage of teachers, especially in scientific subjects, and the new idea from the Ministry of Education: to bring in "talents" - engineers or researchers without teaching certificates - who will be employed as contract workers and introduced into classrooms without any pedagogical training. Prof. Michal Zion, head of the Biology Teaching Training Program at Bar-Ilan University, writes about this:
French authorities have extended the detention of Telegram founder Pavel Durov, who landed in the country over the weekend. At the center of the accusations against him: the lack of oversight that has turned Telegram, with nearly a billion users, into a tool that generates terrorism, crime, drug trafficking and more.
And what does this have to do with the war in Ukraine?
In a significant move to bridge language barriers and enhance international academic opportunities, American philanthropist David Magerman has pledged $1 million to Bar-Ilan University.
The meteoric advancement of artificial intelligence forces humanity to develop new approaches to AI governance.

A joint research by Guy Levkovich, a PhD student at the Faculty of Life Sciences in BIU and led by Dr. Dror Sagi from Volcani Institute in Israel conducted a long-term experiment using laying hens as a model. They found that restricting food access to daylight hours – following the natural feeding patterns of these diurnal animals – led to remarkable improvements in hens' health and fertility.
The concepts of "brain drain" and "returning scientists" have long been part of the academic discourse in Israel. In recent years, with Bar-Ilan University's growth and the expansion of its research fields, these concepts have become more relevant than ever. The university's mission to recruit scientists is an exciting opportunity to not only fill positions but also expand into new and cutting-edge research areas.
