An anti-depression vaccine?Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
March 16, 2016
Since the development of a smallpox vaccine in 1796 the pharmacological industry has worked continuously to build the body's immunity against other diseases. Could a depression vaccine be next? Or can we learn more about tapping the potential of our own natural antidepressants?
Reconciling Modern Cosmology and Scripture: Was the Qur'an ahead of its time 1400 years ago? Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
March 2, 2016
Modern scientific cosmology began in 1915 with the publication of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Could it explain Qur'anic statements, known for more than 1400 years, regarding the origin, evolution, ending, and even re-creation of the Universe?

As the world once again reels in shock and revulsion following this week's coordinated attacks in Brussels that killed 31 innocent people and injured nearly 260 others, a chilling reality is emerging - terrorism has become an organized industry.
Good sleep and happy dreams: why and how?Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry

April 13, 2016
When I took early retirement a decade ago, I planned to do a lot more traveling and writing, which I've done. But I've also discovered how difficult it is to enact the original concept of retiring; that is, being in solitude for contemplation and prayer.
In Search of the Meaning of Life Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
April 19, 2016
Animals are innocent; they live by the book of nature. As far as we know, they don't ask themselves about the meaning of life. But for better or worse, we humans tend to ask that question a lot, especially as we grow older.
My body: Is it really mine?Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
May 29, 2016
Is my body really mine alone? The law thinks so … sometimes. But when it would cost the government money to help me take care of it, then the law tells me that my body belongs to everyone. Bizarre.

Anna Boghiguian: From Egypt with LoveProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
May 29, 2016
Six years ago on, one of my frequent visits to my native country, I was browsing in a large downtown Cairo bookstore. I had just picked up an English-language art book about Egypt and was leafing through the pages. After a few moments I realized that a woman nearby was looking at me and the book in my hand. Not a word was exchanged, but I kept looking at the book, then at her, and back at the book again.
