Since 2007, the Jerusalem Institute publishes a weekly statistical column. The researchers write about their diverse passions, which are always rooted in data. Over the years, the columns were published in various newspapers, now appearing in the Jerusalem Post. The column was initiated by Dr. Maya Choshen, and is now edited by Yair Assaf-Shapira.
