Professors, researchers, and graduates of the Weizmann Institute of Science<\/a> in Rehovot are \u201cin mourning\u201d over the massive physical devastation some of its buildings suffered after ballistic missiles from the Islamic Republic of Iran<\/a> blasted the campus last week.<\/p>\n

They were grieving not only over the destroyed labs, equipment, tissue samples, lab animals, and the work of Israeli and foreign students that had been disrupted, but also over the setback in scientific research that was aimed at benefiting humanity, reducing suffering, and saving lives.<\/p>\n

The institute has some 2,500 researchers and staff in over 30 labs that train graduate students in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and computer science.<\/p>\n

The scope of the damage\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Ullmann Building of Life Sciences, where researchers are dedicated to cancer research, and the Institute for Environmental Sustainability were the hardest hit, and it\u2019s likely that they will have to be demolished and rebuilt. The estimate of a leading academic on campus was that constructing a basic, unfurnished lab building would cost $50 million, and the cost of advanced scientific equipment would be up to five times that amount.<\/p>\n
