Dr. Dajani’s commitment to advancing science in the Arab world extends beyond the lab—she is a strong advocate for education reform and founded the "We Love Reading" initiative, promoting literacy among children. Her holistic approach to science and society demonstrates the power of knowledge to heal and empower communities.
