As we enter the new academic year, Prof. Noam Weisbrod, the Director of the Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research (BIDR), spoke exclusively to BGU Radio in our Sede Boker Campus studio about growing up, why he chose to come to BIDR, his research and his leadership. He also answered some great questions put to him by BIDR staff and students, and we played some of his favorite songs. BGU Radio wishes everybody a successful year ahead.
