Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday.

Environmental reporter Sue Surkes and health writer Nathan Jeffay joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast.

Jeffay discusses the Israeli research that has identified and destroyed the power source of brain cancer in mice.

Surkes reviews the latest in the future sale of Bazan, the Oil Refineries company that has long dominated the Haifa skyline, polluting it as well.

Jeffay talks about the use of game theory by Israeli researchers to determine whether it makes sense to give extra coronavirus vaccines to countries in need.
