Super proud of Neta Hart for being awarded the travel grant by The Science Bank and for delivering an excellent talk at the Notch Signaling Meeting about her pioneering work on newly identified mode of early #oogenesis in #zebrafish and human, regulated by Notch (more to come!).

Thanks to the incredibly dedicated, persistent, and ambitious people in my team, we are still able to finish work on all revisions, submit all our finalized manuscripts, and reach all our goals.

eartbreaking to see a dry system..

While this is a major crisis, we are rebuilding, and use this as an opportunity to expand.

Thanks to incredible institutional support at HebrewU School of Medicine, and amazing resilience of our lab members, we will bounce back fast and stronger!

I can now share that during the recent Israel-Iran conflict, our main #zebrafish husbandry facility collapsed abruptly, resulting in the loss of ~85% of our fish.

With careful management, we were able to preserve all lines, and are currently operating from backup systems.

Was a pleasure to give the @embo.org talk in #EMBO #meiosis meeting today, and share our findings about the Zygotene #cilium: novel mechanisms, conserved functions and links to human #reproduction disfunction.

Thanks to the organizers for the invite and for a fantastic meeting.
