The Ministry of Education rolled out a campaign to encourage students to study sciences. On the promotional banner 11 female Israeli scientists were featured, among them were five Technion faculty members and graduates:

Prof. Shulamit Levenberg, from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, specializing in stem cells and tissue engineering.

Assoc. Prof. Marcelle Machluf, from the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering, an expert in tissue engineering and involved in the development and engineering of nano-drug and gene delivery systems for cancer therapy.

Prof. Yonina Eldar, from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, who for the last number of years has been focusing on sampling methods in signal processing and communication systems in medical imaging and computational biology.

Dr. Kineret Keren, from the Department of Physics, specializing in biological self-organization.

Dr. Kira Radinsky, founder of the novel startup SalesPredict that applies methodologies she developed during her doctoral research at the Technion to predict future events.

According to the Ministry of Education, promoting studies in science and technology to young people is a national need. The Ministry expressed its deep founded hope that the scientist presented on behalf of the campaign banner will serve as models of inspiration to all students, and female students in particular, and encourage them to engage in the many challenging and fascinating fields of mathematics, science and technology at the secondary level, and when choosing a future career.
