The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran has led to significant missile strikes impacting scientific research infrastructure, particularly at the Weizmann Institute in Israel. Biologist Jacob Hanna describes the chaos that ensued after missile attacks, resulting in damage to laboratories and a loss of critical research capabilities. With at least 224 casualties in Iran and 24 in Israel, the ongoing violence further complicates the scientific community's work and safety, while both nations continue retaliatory strikes against each other, jeopardizing crucial research efforts amid the tensions.
In the immediate aftermath of the strike, there was shattered glass everywhere, the computers weren't turning on, incubators fell and the power went out.
Extensive damage occurred; one lab's ceiling collapsed, highlighting the vulnerability of scientific institutions during conflicts.
