The Vera and Chaim Weizmann Honor Society is a community of dedicated people who help secure the future of science by including the Weizmann Institute in their estate and legacy planning. In this video, learn about the legacy of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, who envisioned a scientific institute in the Jewish homeland—as well as the early visionaries of the American Committee, who helped make Dr. Weizmann’s dream a reality. Honor Society members become Founders of the Future—key partners in the Weizmann Institute’s search for solutions to humanity’s most urgent problems. By following in the footsteps of Vera and Chaim Weizmann and dedicated philanthropists who came before, they help shape a better world through science.

The start of a new year is always a time of optimism, yet more so than ever as we begin 2021. Science has offered hope for some of the world’s most devastating problems, particularly COVID-19 – but in order to continue its forward progress, science needs new researchers to take up the mantle and introduce fresh ideas and approaches.
That’s why we are also finding hope in the form of the Weizmann Institute of Science’s newest members: brilliant young investigators in fields from antibiotics to astrophysics. The Institute recruits only a handful of new scientists each year, searching worldwide for the most talented thinkers, the ones who will take Weizmann – and science – into the future. Here are a few of these remarkable researchers.
