Everyone was a little jet-lagged this morning, but after being buoyed up by a fabulous buffet breakfast we headed out on a rainy day in Tel Aviv to the Weizmann Institute of Science http://www.weizmann.ac.il/ where we were treated to an absolutely wonderful presentation on cellular biology and specifically about genetic research in regards to the conversion of normal cells to abnormal/cancer cells and the trends in research to use the genetic code to augment cancer treatment. A skilled presenter and a great lecture.
Afterwards we toured the home of Chaim Weizmann, the first President of Israel.
After lunch at a little gyro/falafel place, we were off to the office of the Israeli Medical Association for a timely and in depth discussion of the National Health Care system in Israel.
Right now as I write we are in a break before our last session tonight on Public Health so more later.
