Do we enjoy our time more when we are alone, or when we're in the company of others? A new study by researchers from Bar-Ilan University in Israel has found that the element of choice in our daily social interactions plays a key role in our well-being.

Bar-Ilan University will present students commencing their studies in Academic Year 2022-2023 with a special gift: an NFT, a unique and tradable digital work of art, based on figures inspired by the university’s diverse community.

Bar-Ilan University welcomed Bahraini ambassador to Israel Khaled Yousif al-Jalahmah, who visited the university's Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials and Kofkin Faculty of Engineering. The ambassador toured several laboratories and met with university administration, and researchers from a variety of disciplines.

Networks are a system comprised of many components that interact with one another through a collection of connections, nodes and links. In a well-functioning brain, neural networks assemble the cellular components needed for sensory, motor and cognitive functions. In an active human gut, "good" bacteria help keep “bad” bacteria in check. 

High schoolers Rotem Saban, Noam Fogel and Roba Natur are the winners of the 25^th annual National Biology Olympics held at Bar-Ilan University. Each of the winners will receive a scholarship to the University's Mina and Everard Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences.
