Hillel’s Tech Corner: Minimizing the Mental Health Mystery
Hillel’s Tech Corner: Minimizing the Mental Health Mystery

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/hillel-s-tech-corner-minimizing-the-mental-health-mystery/

Oct 15, 2020... If one were to objectively examine the topics being discussed in their social media feeds, that person might reach he conclusion that COVID-19 is all that’s going on in this world. It’s all anyone is talking about, and rightfully so. The effects of this pandemic on the human species will be discussed and analyzed for many years to come.
What is not being discussed enough, however, are the effects COVID is having on our mental health. Loneliness, anxiety, depression, hopelessness; these are just some of the emotions a global pandemic can, and are causing – and it’s important that we acknowledge it.

Feb 04, 2021... American Committee CEO Dave Doneson shares news of the Weizmann Institute’s historic partnership with Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence in the UAE. In a first-of-its-kind undertaking, the two institutions will work together to significantly advance AI research, including through student and postdoc exchanges, conferences and seminars, research collaborations, and a joint virtual institute for AI. The partnership will also support Weizmann’s Artificial Intelligence Enterprise for Scientific Discovery, a flagship initiative that will harness the power of AI to transform biomedicine, environmental research, and other areas of science.

Feb 24, 2021... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—February 24, 2021—Following the Memorandum of Understanding signed by Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) and the United Arab Emirates’ Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in September 2020, the two institutions have announced the establishment of the WIS-MBZUAI Joint Program for Artificial Intelligence Research. The new program will promote collaborative initiatives in fundamental artificial intelligence (AI) research and will explore AI applications in domains such as healthcare, genomics, and more.

Will AI Tell Us What Whales are Saying?
Will AI Tell Us What Whales are Saying?

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/blog/will-ai-tell-us-what-whales-are-saying/

Jul 08, 2021... In the 70s, an album was released that shared something remarkable, even transformative: recordings of humpback whales singing. The whalesong on the soon-to-be-a-hit album moved people worldwide, and the raised awareness led to the “Save the Whales” movement. Half a century later, technology has evolved a bit from LPs and may be able to help us understand these highly intelligent, mysterious mammals and their eerie songs, their clicks and whirrs.

Mar 22, 2022... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—March 22, 2022—Building a working quantum computer is such a daunting venture that many believe it’s only for tech giants and superpowers, something on a scale beyond Israel’s reach.
Prof. Roee Ozeri of the Weizmann Institute of Science begs to differ: “One of the world’s first computers, WEIZAC, was built here in the 1950s, when all Israel had was swamps and camels. Today Israel is a technological empire; there’s no reason we shouldn’t be front-runners in the quantum computing race.”

The Heat Is On: Weizmann Institute Scientists Uncover Traces of Fire Dating Back At Least 800,000 Years
The Heat Is On: Weizmann Institute Scientists Uncover Traces of Fire Dating Back At Least 800,000 Years

Jun 13, 2022... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—June 13, 2022—They say that where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and Weizmann Institute of Science researchers are working hard to investigate that claim, or at least elucidate what constitutes “smoke.” In an article published today in PNAS, the scientists reveal an advanced, innovative method that they have developed and used to detect nonvisual traces of fire dating back at least 800,000 years – one of the earliest known pieces of evidence for the use of fire. The newly developed technique may provide a push toward a more scientific, data-driven type of archaeology, but – perhaps more importantly – it could help us better understand the origins of the human story, our most basic traditions, and our experimental and innovative nature.

Artificial Intelligence: Reshaping Our Lives and Revolutionizing Science

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/video-gallery/artificial-intelligence-reshaping-our-lives-and-revolutionizing-science/

Jun 17, 2022... Over the last quarter-century, artificial intelligence (AI) has made the leap from science fiction to everyday life. A world leader in computing since the 1950s, the Weizmann Institute of Science remains at the forefront of progress with its Artificial Intelligence Enterprise for Scientific Discovery. In this webinar, Prof. Roee Ozeri provided an overview of this growing flagship initiative and shared insight on how AI can help every scientist, in every discipline, on the Weizmann Campus. Prof. Yaron Lipman of the Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics later joined the session to discuss how AI is already beginning to transform daily activities – such as driving, computer graphics, and artwork – before elaborating on how Weizmann scientists are using this knowledge to accelerate progress in other applications, including cardiac ultrasounds and other health care needs. After the presentation, Prof. Lipman answered questions from webinar participants.

Putting Liquid Biopsies on Solid Ground: Cancer Diagnosis from a Milliliter of Blood 
Putting Liquid Biopsies on Solid Ground: Cancer Diagnosis from a Milliliter of Blood 

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/news-releases/putting-liquid-biopsies-on-solid-ground-cancer-diagnosis-from-a-milliliter-of-blood/

Sep 08, 2022... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—September 8, 2022—Blood tests – simple, noninvasive and economically feasible – promise to become the next major milestone in cancer diagnosis. However, most of these tests, dubbed liquid biopsies, are currently not reliable enough for widespread use. A new, multiparameter approach developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science may lead to a blood test that will diagnose cancer with unprecedented accuracy. This research is being published today in Nature Biotechnology.

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/video-gallery/sivan-refaely-abramson-harnessing-sunlight-for-a-cleaner-greener-future/

Nov 18, 2022... Dr. Sivan Refaely-Abramson of the Molecular Chemistry and Materials Science department at the Weizmann Institute shares a story about sunlight. She explains how, through the amazing world of materials, the power of the sun can transform quantum particles and be used as a main energy source. Dr. Refaely-Abramson’s research in materials science is dedicated to designing intelligent energy conversion in order to consume energy in a way that is clean, green, and unlimited. “Understanding materials and the way particles interact within them allows for new and smart ways to harness sunlight, leading us to a cleaner greener future.”
