The Sound of Science

Weizmann Institute of Science

The Sound of Science is a narrative science podcast by the Weizmann Institute of Science, hosted by Prof. Roee Ozeri, exploring a single topic through multiple scientific lenses. Each season brings together scientists from different fields, uncovering the connections between their discoveries and some of the biggest questions of our time. In Season 1 – Future Feasts – we explore the future of food, from genetics and evolution to microbiomes and next-generation agriculture. Together, these conversations ask a simple but urgent question: Where is food headed next? Production: Raz Hason - Keypod

    Future Feasts #2: From Soil to Soul

    For billions of years, plants and microbes evolved together beneath the surface of the Earth. Modern agriculture changed that relationship, and scientists are now beginning to understand what was lost. In the second episode of Future Feasts, Prof. Roee Ozeri explores the hidden microbial world shaping our food, from wheat that may have lost its ancient connection to beneficial microbes to microorganisms engineered to turn carbon dioxide into protein-rich food. The episode follows the invisible networks connecting soil, evolution, food production, and even the human brain. Featuring Prof. Asaph Aharoni, Dr. David Zeevi, Dr. Ranit Kedmi, Dr. Yoav Livne, Dr. Orna Dahan, Dr. Noa Ron-Hefetz, Dr. Shahar Rezenman and Sam Lovett. Hosted by Prof. Roee Ozeri

    Future Feasts #1: The Genetic Blueprint of our Food

    Hardier crops, and better harvests: Today, scientists can edit the genetic blueprint of plants with unprecedented precision.   In the first episode of Future Feasts, Prof. Roee Ozeri explores how researchers are reshaping the plants we depend on, from sweeter tomatoes and disease-resistant crops to future mozzarella made in plants instead of cows. Through genome editing, plant chemistry, and molecular farming, scientists are rethinking how food can survive a changing planet, while remaining nutritious, sustainable, and delicious. Featuring Prof. Avi Levy, Prof. Asaph Aharoni, Dr. Daniela Ben-Tov and Amit Cucuy. Hosted by Prof. Roee Ozeri.
