When the Palm Trees Reveal

This biography traces the point of mercury, as the writer has done over the years. From elementary school to Qatar University, where the writer first conducted her first experiments with radioactive material, to her arrival in Cairo, the author completed a range of studies which included interactions with literature, theater, and art. The point of mercury, which floats between times and places, urges us to keep up with the writer and a life full of rich and profound experiences leading to her enthusiastic return to her work and scientific research in her home country. A biography full of personal experiences in the midst of contemporary events, wars, and political and social transformations in Qatar and the Arab world; a path influenced by the milestones of creativity, ambition, and insistence on achievement.
