Our goal is to expose our readers to the exciting discoveries, the thrilling stories and the small details of which the scientific world is made. We aim to do all this while taking care to report with integrity, objectivity and accuracy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; direction: ltr; font-size: 18px;\">The directors of the Amuta and the writers are all professional or amateur scientists with advanced degrees in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine etc \u2013 we are not experts in Media, and we are all volunteers. We have vast experience reading scientific publications and converting them into texts accessible to the general public \u2013 in Hebrew. We reach out to the public using our Facebook page, website, other social media platforms, and by organizing and participating in scientific talks and science outreach conferences across Israel.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f79-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"79\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53#wpcf7-f79-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<div style=\"display: none;\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"79\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.0.5\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f79-o1\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><label> Your name<br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-name\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" autocomplete=\"name\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-name\" \/><\/span> <\/label>\n<\/p>\n<p><label> Your email<br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-email\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email\" autocomplete=\"email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" \/><\/span> <\/label>\n<\/p>\n<p><label> Subject<br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-subject\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-subject\" \/><\/span> <\/label>\n<\/p>\n<p><label> Your message (optional)<br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-message\"><textarea cols=\"40\" rows=\"10\" maxlength=\"2000\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-textarea\" aria-invalid=\"false\" name=\"your-message\"><\/textarea><\/span> <\/label>\n<\/p>\n<p><input class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit has-spinner\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" \/>\n<\/p><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17728 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lbscience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/about_bottom.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1141\" height=\"128\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a world of \"fake news\" it sometimes seems as if science, the epitome of accuracy and critical thinking, is pushed aside.
