Meet our guest, glowing a phosphorescent shade of green: a new jellyfish which has arrived from Japan and was observed for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea during a routine survey conducted by Dr. Gur Mizrahi, a researcher from the laboratory of Dr. Dan Tchernov in the Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences: the Aequorea macrodactyla (Cnidaria Hydrozoa), a species of medusa spotted repeatedly in the Sea of Japan. The good news: This medusa is not dangerous to humans. The bad news: its arrival heralds that much more dangerous visitors can get here as well. “This is a particularly unique jellyfish, as it contains a fluorescent green-colored protein the role of which, despite many theories, is still not clear to science. Despite its small body – just a few centimeters in length – it devours plankton and small crustaceans; but we can stay calm – as it’s not dangerous to humans,” said Dr. Mizrahi.

More than half of the Israeli respondents are willing to let the government monitor their Internet activity in order to increase their sense of security against cyberattacks. This is the finding of a new study conducted at the University, shortly after threats were made by the network of hackers calling itself Anonymous to wage an “electronic holocaust” against the State of Israel.“
