Testimonials
Prof. Paul Brumer
I am completing a two month stay as Visiting Professor here at the Weizmann Institute. During this time, the Visiting Scientists Office under Ms. Dana Dvash has been enormously helpful with numerous issues that have arisen.
I have been a frequent visitor to the Institute over the past 40 years, and, from my perspective, the Visiting Scientists office does an outstanding job of making our stay pleasant and productive.
