Summary

In this episode of The SAFE Leader Podcast, Mark McBride-Wright is joined by Dr Zafra Lerman, chemist, educator, human rights advocate and founder of the Malta Conferences. Together we explore Zafra’s extraordinary journey from a childhood shaped by relentless curiosity to a global career using science as a force for peace. She reflects on the mentors who shaped her path, her groundbreaking work in science education, and why she believes access to science is a fundamental human right.

The conversation also dives into the power of science diplomacy in some of the world’s most divided regions. Zafra shares how the Malta Conferences have brought scientists together across political and cultural borders to collaborate on shared challenges, even in times of conflict.
