Science has the power to unite people and break down barriers. The Science Book Forum hosted Dr. Richard O'Kennedy, Qatar Foundation Vice President for Research, Development and Innovation, to discuss the role of science as a driver for peace in difficult times and as a powerful tool in shaping national identity. Dr. Kennedy addressed the need for more scientists and their role in building peace where politics have failed. He also discussed the role of students and teachers in this process. The forum included a presentation on the role of scientists such as Einstein, Bohr and von Braun during World War II. The audience were encouraged to ask questions and share their experiences as well.
