Apr 24, 2020... Experts from the Department of Science Teaching are the creators of a learning technology platform called PeTeL (short for Personalized Teaching and Learning). Used in hundreds of science classrooms in Israel’s Hebrew- and Arabic-speaking educational sectors, PeTeL gathers real-time data from individual students about what they know and do not know, analyzes student performance using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, then offers students targeted follow-up assignments, in accordance with teacher-defined goals.

Apr 20, 2020... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—April 20, 2020—The Israel Institute for Biological Research and the Weizmann Institute of Science will join efforts in advancing research designed to develop ways to combat the coronavirus. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two Institutes on this matter has been signed in recent days.
The neighboring Institutes are characterized by their unique excellence in their respective fields, and collaboration between the two is likely to promote synergy and accelerate the process that scientists hope will lead to a medical solution to the coronavirus. The Institute for Biological Research’s Director General, Prof. Shmuel Shapira, and the Weizmann Institute of Science’s Vice President for Technology Transfer, Prof. Irit Sagi, say that signing the MoU is an important milestone among the broad range of joint activities established between the two Institutes.

The Education System’s Real Capital
The Education System’s Real Capital

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/the-education-system-s-real-capital/

Apr 02, 2020... Countries that are world leaders in educational achievements all have one thing in common: the high value they place on teaching as a profession. Teachers in these countries are viewed as having an important and prominent profession and they also usually have a degree of autonomy. In Israel, unfortunately, this is far from the case.
Math and science are subjects that are incredibly important springboards for future achievements and employment. They are also the subjects most likely to elicit extreme emotional responses of success or failure among both teachers and students. One of the greatest challenges the system faces is in the shift of the teacher’s role in class. In an era when information is constantly available and increases at an exponential rate, teachers long ago ceased to be the main source of information, especially when it comes to constantly evolving disciplines like science.

From Israel to Chernobyl: Treating Victims of the Nuclear Disaster

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/blog/from-israel-to-chernobyl-treating-victims-of-the-nuclear-disaster/

Jun 16, 2020... The Chernobyl nuclear power plant catastrophe on April 26, 1986 has always loomed large in our imaginations, particularly for those of us living through the Cold War.
Last year, the event was front and center yet again – and new generations learned about it – when HBO’s limited series, “Chernobyl,” took us through the disaster, step by harrowing misstep. The show also reminded us of the heroes, from the scientists trying to reach the truth to the workers who sacrificed themselves.
