After an unusually\u00a0jellyfish-free summer, a swarm of the wandering filamentous kind has been seen off the coast of Haifa.\u00a0\u201cThis swarm, unlike the ones that usually arrive in the summer, is different because most of it is below sea level at depths of a few meters. It appeared a few days ago and is found in small groups,\u201d said Dr. Gur Mizrahi and Dr. Eli Shemesh from the Charny School of Marine Sciences at the\u00a0University of Haifa. “We, from the lab of Dr. Yoav Lehan and Prof. Dani Tchernov, are trying to cope with the\u00a0annual phenomenon\u00a0of jellyfish,\u201d Mizrahi said, concluding that they “are simple creatures\u2014but they surprise us every time!”<\/p>

About three weeks ago, with mixed emotions and after a year of preparation, Dr. Tal Luzzatto Kanaan and Prof. Tali Mass from the Department of Marine Biology, embarked on an expedition to Antarctica as part of the journey of the “Homeward Bound” program. This international initiative brings together women with backgrounds in STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) to create a global network of women with scientific expertise who will lead and solve global challenges for the benefit of humanity.<\/p>\n

Together with an exclusive group of dozens of researchers from around the world, it was clear to both that they would leverage the expedition to shed light on the situation in Israel and explain Israel’s perspective in the war against Hamas. Articles about their journey were published in the Jerusalem Post and on the website [mention the specific website, if available].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":23550,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[107],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-the-media","entry","has-media"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24248\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
