Cutting Edge
Continued from prededing page
research alone, Professor
Emeritus Isaac Berenblum
received a $100,000 prize
from the General Motors
Foundation. Professor Leo
Sachs of the molecular
biology department was
awarded the Bristol Myers
prize, and Michael Feldman,
professor of development
biology, won a prestigious
French prize. Former In-
stitute president Professor
Michael Sela himself received
a prize recently from France's
Institut de la Vie for his work
in chemical immunology.
However, modern science
needs more than human
talent. The facilities at the
Weizmann Institute are
among the finest in the world.
The Koffler Accelerator, with
a 12-story tower, enables
researchers to examine the
atomic nucleus, one of the
most minute structures in the
entire universe.
A more recent addition to
the Institute's skyline is the
Canadian Institute for the
Energies and Applied
Research. This facility in-
cludes a 160-foot high solar
tower containing 63 mirrors.
These mirrors are designed to
reflect and focus the sun's
radiation onto a range of ex-
perimental targets. At peak
operation, the total reflected
power reaches 3,000 kilowatts
of thermal energy. The aim of
this research is to find ways
in which solar energy can be
substituted for imported
fuels like oil.
Indeed, the thrust of work
at the Weizmann Institute
has always had an applied,
practical target — to help
make Israel financially self
sufficient. The Institute itself
generates a vast amount of
capital. The Yeda Research
and Development, establish-
ed in 1959 to commercially
exploit the discoveries at the
Institute, makes annual pro-
fits of more than $20 million.
This represents a lucrative
slice of the Institute's annual
budget of $75 million. Like all
establishments of higher
education in Israel, the Weiz-
mann Institute is suffering
from governmental expen-
diture cuts. It is currently
running a budget deficit of
$18 million.
Budgetary worries aside,
however, Weizmann would
have no doubt been proud of
today's Institute. It has
maintained its reputation for
excellence and is held in great
esteem worldwide as the
home of scientific pioneers
and dedicated Zionists. ❑
