Israeli scientists scramble to save work after Iranian missile hits labs
By Artorn Pookasook REHOVOT, Israel (Reuters) -Researchers at Israel's prestigious Weizmann Institute of Science have been scrambling to save their experiments after an Iranian missile destroyed a building containing dozens of cutting-edge laboratories. The missile struck the institute's campus at Rehovot, on the southern periphery of Tel Aviv, in the early hours of Sunday, damaging multiple buildings and prompting researchers to clamber into the ruins to save samples even as fire raged. No one was hurt as the campus was empty overnight, but one part of a building collapsed, while in the remaining part the walls were blown out, exposing a tangle of twisted metal, blasted debris and blackened cement. "We did our best to save as much of the samples as we could from the labs, from the buildings, while we were fighting the fire," physicist Roee Ozeri, Weizmann's vice president for development and communications, told Reuters. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the devastated site on Friday and praised the researchers as well as the rescuers of the country's emergency services, describing both groups as the "best of Israel." "This building behind me, next to me, says everything," Netanyahu said, pointing to the massive pile of rubble. "Iran is the pre-eminent terrorist regime in the world. It must not, cannot have nuclear weapons. That is the purpose of Israel's actions - to save itself from the Iranian threat of annihilation, but by doing so, we are saving many, many others.' Israel began attacking Iran on June 13, saying its longtime enemy was on the verge of developing nuclear weapons. Iran, which says its nuclear programme is only for peaceful purposes, retaliated with missile and drone attacks on Israel. Israel's strikes have killed several prominent Iranian nuclear scientists, wiped out the top echelon of Iran's military command, damaged nuclear capabilities and killed hundreds of civilians. Iran has not said if or why it targeted the Weizmann Institute. Last Thursday, the U.N. nuclear watchdog's 35-nation Board of Governors declared Iran in breach of its non-proliferation obligations for the first time in almost 20 years. Iran has long maintained its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes. Iran's attacks have killed 24 civilians in Israel and damaged hundreds of structures, including a hospital in the southern city of Beersheba. While most of the institute's research is in areas with potential benefits for medicine and scientific knowledge, it also has connections with defence. It announced in October 2024 a collaboration with Israel's largest defence firm Elbit on "bio-inspired materials for defence applications". A multidisciplinary institution which carries out research in fields including genetics, immunology and astrophysics, Weizmann was founded in 1934 and is considered world-class within the international scientific community. It is Israel's most important science research institute, with 286 research groups, 191 staff scientists and hundreds of PhD students, master's students and postdoctoral fellows. 'EVERYTHING IS LOST' The Iranian missile hit the work of researchers such as Eldad Tzahor, who focuses on regenerative medicine with particular relevance to adult heart diseases. He said many samples and tissues that had been part of long-running experiments had been destroyed. "Everything is lost," he told Reuters TV. "I would estimate that it will take us about a year to get into a full year of research and with everything working again." In financial terms, the damage is estimated at $300-$500 million, according to the institute, which operates costly, complex machines, often shared between several labs or research groups. Jacob Hanna, who runs a molecular genetics team focused on embryonic stem cell biology, told the scientific journal Nature that his lab's ceiling had collapsed and the staircase had detached. His students managed to save hundreds of frozen mouse and human cell lines by transferring them to back-up liquid-nitrogen tanks that Hanna had stored in the basement, Nature reported. "I was always worried that if a war actually happens, I don't want to lose these," he said.

Democrats demand details on the future of EPA labs
Top House Science, Space and Technology Committee Democrats are insisting that EPA leaders explain their plans for the agency's research labs while meanwhile accusing them of dishonesty. 'It is time to tell the truth,' ranking member Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) said in a caustically worded Tuesday letter to Administrator Lee Zeldin. Lofgren asked Zeldin whether EPA intends to close any of its 10 field laboratories and research facilities, and if so, which ones. Should any of those facilities remain open, Lofgren asked, will their budget and staffing levels increase to pick up work from those that close? And which EPA program office will run them? Advertisement Joining the California Democrat on the letter was Rep. Gabe Amo (D-R.I.), ranking member on the Science Subcommittee on the Environment.

Rachel Reeves says new site being explored for Harlow UKHSA lab
New home for secretive research labs is considered Just now Share Save Lewis Adams BBC News, Essex Share Save Public Health England The government purchased its existing site in Harlow for £30m A new site to house one of the UK's most secretive research centres is being considered by the government. Hundreds of millions of pounds have already been spent on land in Harlow, Essex, but Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the facility could instead open elsewhere in the town. Plans for the centre, which would prepare the UK for dangerous pathogens, have faced years of delays and had costs rise from £530m to £3.2bn. In a letter seen by the BBC, Chancellor Rachel Reeves said a decision on its future would be made in the spending review by 11 June. Writing to the Labour MP for Harlow, Chris Vince, she said the government was "actively considering" options to renew the UK's high containment laboratories. "A new site in Harlow is one of the options being considered," Reeves said. The existing site earmarked for development, once owned by GlaxoSmithKline, was purchased for £30m in 2017. But the project has been paused since March 2023, despite more than £400m having already been spent on it, according to a National Audit Office report. Reuters Rachel Reeves has written to Harlow's Labour MP to let him know a decision would be made on the location for a new high containment laboratory by 11 June In her letter, Reeves said: "The government understands the pressing need for a decision to be made." The chancellor said if the project was scrapped, she would ensure the site was used to achieve "the best possible outcome" for jobs and infrastructure in Harlow. UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) officials, who are leading the project, estimate it will open no sooner than 2036 - some 15 years later than planned. The scheme was born out of concerns about the ageing high-containment laboratories in Porton Down, Wiltshire, and Colindale in north London. These sites are essential for detecting and studying the most dangerous pathogens, including Ebola and Covid-19. Vince shared concerns about the project stalling and called for it to be "brought back to the table". He said schoolchildren would benefit from having a "world-class science centre on their doorstep". "If we are successful and the government gives the development the green light, it would be one of the biggest investments in Harlow since its creation in 1947," the MP added. A UKHSA spokesman previously said staff were "hoping for a decision in the coming months". Follow Essex news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.
