My areas of Interests:

“After the scientific journalism workshop, I tried to combine its associated perception with the questions and concerns of citizens, and to make it clear that scientific topics are not static perceptions, but are linked to every step in our lives. You can also read about it in my article "Gold Bars Made of Electronic Waste - A Dream of Fatal Wealth." This addresses the issue of extracting gold from electronic waste in an unhealthy or unsafe manner and its negative impact on the health of Egyptians, which may lead to death, and also pollutes the environment. Moreover, I also highlighted the Egyptian state's attempts to stop this phenomenon, the latest laws that have been enacted in this direction, and the efforts of civil society to educate citizens, as it is important to address this issue.”
