Today, we mourn the passing of Prof. Ada Yonath, Nobel Prize laureate in Chemistry, who passed away at the age of 87.
One of Israel’s most brilliant scientific minds, Prof. Yonath made groundbreaking discoveries that changed the world of science and inspired generations. In 2009, she became the first Israeli woman to receive a Nobel Prize.
Her extraordinary legacy will live on.
May her memory be a blessing.
