    FALL 2016 WEIZMANN MAGAZINE FALL 2016 No. 10 VOLUME 10 The immune system The body’s police force The future of the past Judy and David Dangoor’s passion for archaeology The Schwartz-Reisman Institute for Theoretical Physics From the President Dear Friends, When the New York Times recently ran an in-depth series of articles about the promise of immunotherapy, we were not surprised. After all, immunotherapy has been the focus of keen scientific interest here at the Weizmann Institute for years, with some of the world’s most important immunotherapy-related discoveries emerging from our labs, both historically and right up to the present day. In fact, it was our recognition of the dynamism of the field that inspired us to choose the topic of this magazine’s cover story: an overview of the Weizmann Institute’s contribution to both immunology research and breakthroughs in immunotherapy for cancer. When Prof. Zelig Eshhar of the Institute’s Department of Immunology began exploring how genetic modification of immune cells could cause such cells to seek out and destroy cancer back in the 1980s, he was in the company of just a few other scientists worldwide convinced of cancer immunotherapy’s potential. Today this hoped-for potential is “settled science” and Prof. Eshhar’s T-cell research, which is now the basis for a successful drug therapy for leukemia, is just the latest success from our renowned scientists working in immunotherapy- related topics—a group that includes Prof. Michael Sela, Prof. Ruth Arnon, and others.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-82597-9 — The Cambridge Dictionary of Judaism and Jewish Culture Edited by Judith R. Baskin Frontmatter More Information THE CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY OF JUDAISM AND JEWISH CULTURE The Cambridge Dictionary of Judaism and Jewish Culture is an authoritative and accessible ref- erence work for a twenty-first-century audience. Its entries, written by eminent scholars, define the spiritual and intellectual concepts and the religious movements that distin- guish Judaism and the Jewish experience. They cover central personalities and places, formative events, and enduring literary and cultural contributions, and they illuminate the lives of ordinary Jewish women and men. Essays explore Jewish history from ancient times to the present and consider all aspects of Judaism, including religious practices and rituals, legal teachings, legendary traditions, rationalism, mysticism, and messianism. This reference work differs from many others in its broad exploration of the Jewish experience beyond Judaism. Entries discuss secular and political movements and achievements and delineate Jewish endeavors in literature, art, music, theater, dance, film, broadcasting, sports, science, medicine, and ecology, among many other topics from the ancient Near East to the Internet. Judith R. Baskin is Philip H. Knight Professor of Humanities and Associate Dean for Humanities in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Oregon. Her books include Pharaoh’s Counsellors: Job, Jethro, and Balaam in Rabbinic and Patristic Tradition (1982) and Midrashic Women: Formations of the Feminine in Rabbinic Literature (2002). She is the editor of Jewish Women in Historical Perspective (1991; 2nd edition, 1998) and Women of the Word: Jewish Women and Jewish Writing (1994) and is coeditor of The Cambridge Guide to Jewish History, Religion, and Culture (with Kenneth Seeskin, 2010), which received the 2010 National Jewish Book Award for anthologies and collections.

    FEBS at 50 Half a century promoting the molecular life sciences Edited by Mary Purton and Richard Perham FEBS at 50 Half a century promoting the molecular life sciences Founded on 1 January 1964, and thus celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2014, the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) has become one of Europe’s largest and most prominent organizations in the molecular life sciences, with over 36,000 members across more than 35 societies that represent biochemistry and molecular biology in most countries of Europe and neighbouring regions. FEBS thereby provides a voice to a large part of the academic research and teaching community in Europe and beyond. As a charitable organization, FEBS promotes, encourages and supports biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, molecular biophysics and all related research areas in a variety of ways. A major emphasis in many programmes is on scientifi c exchange and cooperation between scientists working in diff erent countries, and on fostering of the training of early-career scientists. Th is illustrated book provides a snapshot of the origins of FEBS and its work over the past 50 years. Th ere are chapters on the development of the activities of each of its various committees and working groups, with contributions from both those working on behalf of FEBS and those who have benefi ted from the scientifi c training and diverse support off ered.
