Prof. Israel Finkelstein, winner of the corresponding prize in 2006, described the revolution passing through the world of archeology and how two researchers from the natural sciences won the Dan David Prize for 2017 in the past tense dimension in the field of archaeology. In recent years, the relationship between archeology and the natural sciences has been getting tighter

"Super-pathways" in the PathCards online database: the map of human biological pathways - each vertex symbolizes a biological pathway, and each connecting line symbolizes a connection between pathways. The colors symbolize the sources from which the routes are taken. Each linked group constitutes a super-pathway, which groups together several closely related pathways, and enables a more efficient study of biological pathways from several different sources.
