Today, the Weizmann Women in Chemistry Forum had the honor of hosting Prof. Lia Addadi, who shared the inspiring story of her academic journey! #WomenInScience 👩‍🔬✨

#LabLife: Science in action! 🔬 Watch as our student extracts and purifies organic compounds, transforming a messy mix into something pure and valuable. Just another day in the lab! 🧪

This month’s student seminar at the Department of Molecular Chemistry and Materials Science featured Aliza Ashman (Michal Leskes lab) & Guy Reuveni (Yaffe Lab group)! Great talks and discussions. Looking forward to next month!

The Faculty of Chemistry is excited to be part of the Soft Matter and Biophysics Clore Retreat, an interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers. We enjoyed 2 days of great talks and a beautiful hike. Congratulations to the poster session winners, Sourabh Bera and Dorit Levy!

🔬לגלות, לחקור, ולשנות את העולם: 3 תוכניות קיץ יוקרתיות במכון ויצמן למדע פותחות את דלתות המעבדה לסטודנטיות וסטודנטים מצטיינים לתואר ראשון. שבוע או 8 שבועות של סקרנות, נטרוורקינג והשתלבות במחקר אמיתי בהובלת השמות המבריקים בעולם במדע. העתיד המדעי שלך יכול להתחיל כאן >

Yesterday’s monthly student seminar in the Department of Molecular Chemistry & Materials Science featured excellent talks by Mariia Rodionova (Shimanovich group) and Georgy Chistov (Bar-Shir Lab). Great science, great discussion! 🔬👏 #StudentSeminar #ChemSci

Weizmann Institute of Science researchers uncover physical laws explaining why cracks in materials break their symmetry while spreading. The findings lay the groundwork for the design of more resilient materials >> bit.ly/cracking-Eng

Our latest paper is now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. ! We unveil a new strategy to access elusive free oxoboranes—highly reactive species—via bridged boranoanthracenes and aromatization-driven extrusion. Congratulations to the team! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Today the Weizmann Women in Chemistry held a Krav Maga self-defense workshop. Thanks to everyone who joined—we learned how to defend ourselves and with good energy!

Yesterday, at the Department of Chemical & Biological Physics Lunch Club Seminar, we had the pleasure of hearing Gilad Haran speak about protein machines and the curious case of ClpB.
