An Algorithm That Rivals Experts’ Ultrasound Skills Could Save Lives
An Algorithm That Rivals Experts’ Ultrasound Skills Could Save Lives

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/news-releases/an-algorithm-that-rivals-experts-ultrasound-skills-could-save-lives/

Aug 14, 2018... An ultrasound electrocardiogram
Utrasound equipment has shrunk in both size and price in recent years – so much so that it is now standard in hospitals and clinics all over the world. But today’s ultrasound still requires a highly trained expert to acquire the image and interpret the results, and this has prevented its use in certain settings – for example, in urgent care. In a joint venture they call On-Sight, computer scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science and a cardiologist at the New York University School of Medicine have teamed up to develop an automated system that guides the operator in acquiring the images and then accurately interprets the results for physicians. This venture was recently awarded first place in the third Echovation Challenge of the American Society of Echocardiography.

One hundred may one day be the new 80, but it may be some time before living past 80 is a global standard for life expectancy, said Nobel laureate Ada Yonath, who delivered the 21st Efraim Racker Lecture in Biology and Medicine Nov. 14.
Yonath linked widespread use of antibiotics to increased human life expectancy. Her work on ribosomes has offered insight into helping researchers understand antibiotic resistance.

Dec 01, 2009... A bicycle accident and polar bears came together in one curious scientist’s mind, and became the catalyst for research that is changing the world.When Prof. Ada Yonath of the Weizmann Institute of Science was recovering from a concussion suffered while riding her bike, she read an article about hibernating polar bears, which led her to consider the physical processes that enable and support a dormant state. It occurred to her that in order for the bears to go in and out of hibernation, it was possible that ribosomes were packed in an orderly manner—an idea that went against then-current thinking. And she wondered, “Why do they do this?”

Eleven young women scientists who have excelled in their doctoral studies have received grants from a unique program of Rehovot’s Weizmann Institute of Science. Since 2007, a total of 96 awards, each worth $40,000, have been granted to young women PhDs who plan a scientific career.
The program is designed to advance women in the fields of natural sciences (physics, chemistry, and the life sciences) and the exact sciences (mathematics and computer science). The aim of the program is to close the significant gap that still exists between men and women in high academic ranks.

Multinational cosmetics firm L’Oreal and UNESCO have named a Weizmann Institute biologist working in the field of probiotics, commonly referred to as beneficial bacteria, “Europe’s top young researcher.” For her work in researching probiotics to treat disease, Dr. Naama Geva-Zatorsky will receive a two-year $40,000 postdoctoral scholarship.
During the past three years, young Israeli women have been able to apply for the program, which began 14 years ago and aims at promoting research among women starting out their scientific careers. There are only 15 annual fellowship winners around the world.

Who will win this year’s Nobel Prize in medicine, the sciences, or the arts? No one will know, of course, until the award envelopes are opened later this year, but some of those potential winners – or at least the nominees – were feted at the Knesset Wednesday, as Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Israeli Nobel laureate Professor Dan Shechtman announced the winners of the 2016 Wolf Prizes.

Jul 15, 2015... The 36th Annual Telly Awards, one of the world’s premier honors recognizing outstanding films, has named the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science as the winner of both Silver and Bronze awards in 2015.
The American Committee was awarded a Silver Telly in the category of Online Video, Not-for-Profit, for its film “Care Share Repair.” The film serves as an introduction and overview to CARE SHARE REPAIR (CSR), a digital platform that aims to create positive change through digital social action. “Care Share Repair” encourages others to join the movement of dedicated people who believe in making the world a better place, and features notable names in sports, entertainment, and science, including former NBA commissioner David Stern, actor and activist Matthew Modine, and others. The aim of the video is to promote CSR as a powerful educational platform for use in summer camps and schools, and in religious milestones. The video was produced by Flightpath, New York.
