When You Finally Figure It Out
When You Finally Figure It Out

https://weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/when-you-finally-figure-it-out/

Dec 17, 2015... One day, you finally figure it out. It might happen out of nowhere or something might have caused it to happen.
I wouldn’t say that I’ve figured it all out, but I have definitely figured out a step or two of it.
A few summers ago, my friend asked me to go to an “um, I think it has something to do with farming in Colorado” overnight camp. Of course I said yes, even though I didn’t really know what I was going to be doing at said camp.

She was one of 20 teenagers from the United States selected to participate in ISSI, which accepts only one in four applicants and provides full scholarships to all participants while affording them the opportunity to conduct research with world-renowned scientists in biology, chemistry, mathematics and computer science. The program’s American participants joined some 60 others from around the world.

Weizmann Institute Women in Science Program Wins Award in Barcelona
Weizmann Institute Women in Science Program Wins Award in Barcelona

https://weizmann-usa.org/news-media/news-releases/weizmann-institute-women-in-science-program-wins-award-in-barcelona/

Mar 03, 2013... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—March 3, 2013—In honor of International Women's Day, the city of Barcelona will present the 27th Maria Aurèlia Capmany award on March 4 to the Weizmann Institute of Science for its commitment to advancing young women in science. A representative of the Institute will accept the prize at the Barcelona city hall from members of the city council section for Women and Civil Rights.
The Weizmann Institute was chosen for its national program for advancing women in science, founded at the Institute in 2007 to address the need to increase the numbers of women who choose science as a career and the percentages of women in top academic faculty positions. The program is meant to help young women through the main bottleneck that prevents many of them from continuing on to academic science positions in Israel: the need to conduct postdoctoral research abroad in the world's leading labs. By the time they have completed their PhDs, many women have spouses and young children, and the expense of moving the entire family abroad for several years can be prohibitive. To combat this problem, each year the Weizmann Institute gives special awards to 10 outstanding young women who have completed their doctorates in the natural or exact sciences in one of Israel's academic institutions, and who have been accepted to postdoctoral positions abroad. These grants — $20,000 a year for two years — are given on top of the fellowships awarded by the host institutes or other sources, and are specifically intended to help the women bring their families along.

Aug 26, 2014... Dr. Michal Rivlin
Seven years after the launch of the donor-backed National Postdoctoral Program for Advancing Women in Science, the program, established and operated by the Weizmann Institute of Science, is evidencing major signs of success in its aim to nurture the careers of Israeli women scientists and thereby advance academic science overall in Israel. More than 80 percent of the women who participated in the program have attained faculty positions in Israeli academia: 22 out of the 27 women who completed their postdoctoral studies abroad. Of the remainder, two have accepted faculty appointments abroad and two are working in the Israeli high-tech industry.
