The Weizmann Institute of Science was chosen first in the international list of the best places to work in academia outside the US, on behalf of "The Scientist" magazine
The Weizmann Institute of Science was voted first in the international list of the best places to work in academia, outside of the US, in the annual survey conducted by "The Scientist" magazine. In recent years, the institute has been placed twice in first place in this list, and twice in second place.
The Best Places to Work in Academia ranking (which is done separately for places in the US and abroad) is based on an annual survey conducted among thousands of scientists from research institutions around the world, and weighs a number of criteria such as teamwork, collaborations, and obtaining unique funding sources. The overall score received by the Weizmann Institute of Science places it in the top percentile, and in the ranking of the statement "My work gives me great personal satisfaction" the institute received the maximum score - 5 out of 5.
The journal "The Scientist" is intended for researchers and scientists in the fields of life sciences, and is read by leading researchers in academia and industry. The journal covers discoveries, research trends, research technologies and methods, and business news in the field, from a broad, accurate and updated angle.

The Weizmann Institute is a research institute, and therefore some of its characteristics differ from the usual characteristics of research universities.
The institute does not engage in undergraduate teaching and focuses on research in very specific fields.
The above distinctions between a research institute and a research university are also accepted in the world
The bottom line from the survey, if the published survey is reliable for you, is that what the institute does - it does well, even compared to its counterparts in the wider world.
"Bud, ... you are a fool."
Indeed an exhaustive response of a thinking person, above his level.

It seems that you did not notice the opening of Nitzan's scholarly article to say:
"(Please read this message "gently" - remember that the reader determines the tone of the message)"
It is possible that there is only a spelling mistake here and Nitzan actually meant to say that the Weizmann Institute
It is a "presentative institute". By mistake, the "Parasite Institute" came out under him.
Nitzan, you sound like someone who suffers from a slight retardation.
Your nonsense is crooked
The workplace is also a parasite, after the lecturers at the university have given you tools, after you have gained experience in other places.
Hence work is parasitic.
You are also a parasite, your parents invested in you, raised you, financed you and what are you doing? Leaving the house without giving anything in return.
In short, you are stupid.
Too bad.

The Weizmann Institute is a parasitic institute, if we go to the extreme and assume that all the bodies in Israel were like it - there were no scientists or engineers in the country. With the help of large budgets and without the need to invest in undergraduate students, it attracts the best graduates - which lecturers and other universities have sweated to grow.
One of his main points of attraction is that you don't have to deal with Zevi Hatem who have graduated from the army and still don't know how to study, but do know how to act as a mentor to the most talented researchers.
One that was not accepted 😉
heart warming
Indeed, every scientist's dream. Yes it will multiply and yes it will break through, our Weizmann Institute, gives a lot of respect to the country.
