@dershpiel: Jewish philanthropist Nancy Grand has donated $25 million to Israel’s Technion to fund research into helping people stay healthy and independent as they grow older. The donation supports the Nancy and Stephen Grand Healthy Aging Institute, continuing the family’s decades of support for Israeli science following Stephen’s death in 2021. The money will support more than 60 researchers and a study following 1,000 adults over several years, examining memory, movement, nutrition and other factors that affect aging. Led by Professor Shai Shen-Orr, the institute aims to help people maintain their physical and mental abilities later in life. Nancy and Stephen previously supported water research, energy and aerospace projects at the Technion.
