From Mosquitoes to Blood for Soldiers, Bezalel Students Take Aim at World Woes
(Times of Israel) Ariella Gentin - The Industrial Design department at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem is holding an exhibition of graduate projects that aim to revolutionize our lives. Yehuda Hermann, 28, has developed a biological pesticide to kill mosquitoes without affecting the surrounding ecosystem. Through his technology, the whole area within a radius of 250 meters from where the mosquito laid its eggs becomes a deathbed for all future larvae. Netta Shanwald, 26, developed the BCarrier, a blood transportation kit meant to assist special forces operating in military zones. It keeps the blood cool and heats it to the appropriate temperature when needed.
