@DavidsonOnline reveals that when the first sperm enters an egg, proteins in its outer coat reshape into a dense barrier. Understanding this process may guide research into hormone-free ways to prevent pregnancy and improve diagnosis of infertility. 🔗loom.ly/YHL34g4

@Michal_Leskes is studying how materials behave inside batteries, helping design better ways to store and convert renewable energy. This is what it takes to power a clean energy future. 🔗 Learn more: loom.ly/59gW_Vs #EarthHour #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability

💡This Saturday, millions around the world will switch off their lights for Earth Hour, a global moment to reflect on our shared responsibility for a sustainable future. @WeizmannScience researchers are working on solutions that could help power that future. #CleanEnergy #STEM

By revealing this strategy, the study points to new ways to target malaria and may inspire future RNA-based therapies for infectious disease. 🔗 Read more: loom.ly/-s3Inkw #RNA #STEM #Science

Inside these immune cells, the parasite’s instructions jam the protein-making process, shutting down key defences. This clever decoy distracts the immune system while parasites quietly multiply inside red blood cells. #InfectiousDisease #GlobalHealth #MedicalResearch

🦠 Malaria hijacks the body’s defender cells. In a new study published in @CellReports, @RegevW and Dr. Paula Abou Karam at @WeizmannScience show that the malaria parasite sends molecular instructions into immune “guardian” cells. #ScienceNews #Malaria #Immunology

@DavidsonOnline highlights @CERN research showing some particles behave differently from their antimatter twins, a subtle difference called CP violation. This helps explain how and why matter survived the Big Bang. 🔗 loom.ly/Dvu6Yco #Physics #STEM

Researchers at the Institute for Environmental Sustainability @weizmannScience are studying these systems and developing breakthroughs to protect our planet for future generations. 💚 Support this vital work: loom.ly/-t9DgI8 #FirstDayOfSpring #Environment

🌱🌍 Today marks the spring equinox, the first day of spring and a moment of balance, when day and night are nearly equal around the world. It’s a reminder of how closely life on Earth is tied to natural cycles, from changing seasons to shifting climates. #SpringEquinox #STEM

@ScienceMagazine @SorekLab @Nitzan_T @WeizmannScience Understanding these viral strategies could help guide antiviral therapies. 🧬 Even microscopic battles can teach us big lessons about immunity and medicine. 🔗 Read more: loom.ly/yKJ3UCk #MedicalResearch #STEM

@ScienceMagazine @SorekLab @Nitzan_T @WeizmannScience These viral “sponges” grab, and even destroy, bacterial alarm signals, shutting down immune defences so viruses can multiply undetected. #Immunology #Biology

🦠 How do viruses slip past bacterial defences? A new study in @ScienceMagazine by @SorekLab and @Nitzan_T at @WeizmannScience describes “sponge” proteins viruses use to trap molecules bacteria rely on to signal an immune attack. #ScienceNews #Microbiology

@WeizmannScience Support the Azrieli Institute for Brain & Neural Sciences and help turn discoveries into real-world impact: loom.ly/zT71NVM #STEM #BrainHealth

@WeizmannScience Their work is paving the way for breakthroughs in Alzheimer’s, autism, mental health, and more. Every insight matters. #Alzheimers #BrainHealthAwarenessMonth

🧠 This Brain Awareness Week, meet the minds unlocking the mysteries of the human brain. From repairing nerves to understanding how we navigate the world, researchers at @WeizmannScience are pushing the frontiers of neuroscience. #BrainAwarenessWeek

🧬 This famous human-evolution image? It’s misleading. @DavidsonOnline shows that evolution isn’t linear: species branch, coexist, and sometimes vanish. Understanding this helps scientists study adaptation, diversity, and shared ancestry. 🔗 loom.ly/i1y18yw #Evolution

🌍Carbon dioxide levels don’t rise the same way everywhere. @DavidsonOnline shows how CO₂ fluctuates seasonally as plants absorb carbon during growth, and how warming is shifting these patterns, especially in northern regions. loom.ly/NF3z4zQ #ClimateChange #STEM

As climate change reshapes the global water cycle, this research helps refine how scientists think about managing water risks for communities around the world. 🔗 loom.ly/Xd-hcuM #STEM #GreenFututre

That means even small changes in rainfall could sharply reduce water availability in dry regions while increasing flood risk in wetter ones. #Environment #ClimateChange

💧 Why are some regions drying out while others face more floods? In a new study published in @NatureComms, @WeizmannInstitute researchers found that ecosystems can lose only a limited amount of water to the atmosphere, no matter the climate. #ScienceNews #EarthScience
