and poster presentations <strong>of</strong> their research.<br />

serve as judges for the summer student presentations.<br />

ended this past July, IMS faculty, staff<br />
and alumni established an annual lectureship<br />
series in his honour. The Ori Rotstein<br />

wonderful opportunity to recognize Pr<strong>of</strong>essor<br />
Rotstein’s commitment to the ongoing<br />
development <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Institute</strong>, by bringing<br />
together faculty and students for annual scientific<br />
exchanges.<br />
