Arab Minds, Global Impact: The Scientific Legacy That Shaped Our World
“Imagine a World Without Science”
In this special episode of Chatting with Slava the Jordanian on Mindset Mastery Media, Dr. Slava sits down with her husband, Dr. Ihab, to explore the incredible legacy of Arab contributions to science.
Have you ever stopped to think about where it all began?
Ancient civilizations across Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Arabian Peninsula shaped fields like mathematics, medicine, and astronomy. They introduced the concept of zero, built the earliest hospitals and medical schools, and pioneered groundbreaking astronomical discoveries.
The Golden Age of Islam ushered in a wave of translations, observatories, and revolutionary advances—spanning chemistry, physics, and optics—that formed the building blocks of modern scientific progress. From the smartphones we use to the modern medical breakthroughs that save lives, so many of our daily conveniences and life-saving technologies owe their origins to Arab scholars and innovators.
Join Dr. Slava and Dr. Ihab as they pay tribute to these trailblazers, shining a light on the fascinating history that underpins so much of the science we know today. Tune in to reflect on a world shaped by these bold scholars—and celebrate the remarkable heritage that continues to guide future innovations.

Discovering Palestinian Intellects: Dr. Maher Massis on Legacy, Education, and the Immigrant Mindset
Part of the Discovering Palestinian Intellects Series
In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Chatting with Slava the Jordanian, Dr. Slava launches her special series “Discovering Palestinian Intellects” by welcoming the brilliant Dr. Maher Massis—a Palestinian-American scholar, entrepreneur, author, and advocate whose life story is as inspiring as his mission.
Born in Dahran, Saudi Arabia to Palestinian diaspora parents, Dr. Massis shares the footsteps of his immigration journey—from high school to earning his Ph.D. in International Relations in the United States. He reflects on the strength and values passed down by his parents: a hardworking father who served in Aramco and taught English, and a devoted mother who nurtured their home with love and purpose.
Dr. Slava and Dr. Maher engage in a rich conversation about the Palestinian legacy of education, their people’s unwavering commitment to self-determination, and what it means to be called “the world’s most educated refugees.” Together, they unpack the immigrant experience, share childhood stories, and highlight the mindset needed to survive and thrive in new lands without losing identity or hope.
From publishing Poems for Palestine to advising national PACs and contributing to global publications, Dr. Maher Massis is not just preserving his heritage—he’s guiding the next generation toward possibility.
This episode is a tribute to Palestinian resilience, intellect, and vision.
