@LadaPechuk was the first student to join my lab and today she successfully defended her PhD thesis! Happy moment for the fresh and bright Dr Pechuk and for me as a proud mentor 🙌
So proud! Look at this amazing atlas, focusing on a neglected but extremely important topic!
1/ 🤰What can we learn about pregnancy form 45 million lab tests? We present a dynamic atlas of pregnancy and postpartum based on measurements from over half a million pregnancies at a one-week resolution. @biorxivpreprint @AlonBar10

1/14 We consume about a million calories every year, yet our weight stays nearly constant. What circuit can do that? What determines our weight? A new graphical model sheds light on fat mass regulation.

Paper alert!!!
Proud of my college and PI, @HagarSetty and @MeitalOren, for tackling the complicated mechanism of the mechanosensory circuit in the two sexes 💪🏻
New paper alert! now in @NatureComms, @HagarSetty ’s cool work on sex differences in Mechanosensation.
a fun collaboration with @NMSBlab and @Shadi2Karimi

Now in @EJNeuroscience, we talk about how covid impacted the academic landscape and mental health of neuroscientists from all career stages. We discuss practices that can allow us to grow as a diverse and inclusive community @FensKavliNet onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Happy to share that my paper if finally published!
New paper from a fun collaboration w/ @LadaPechuk @gal_goldman Yehuda Salzberg & @MeitalOren:

Online seminar alert! @LadaPechuk is speaking about her PhD project tomorrow on WWNeuRise
– "Reprogramming the nociceptive circuit topology reshapes sexual behavior in C. elegans" | Wed, Jun 8, 2022 via @worldwideneuro world-wide.org/seminar/8566
Thanks @preLights and @EthanEwe for writing about our preprint!
Rewiring a single synaptic connection reprograms a sexually dimorphic behavior in C. elegans. @EthanEwe highlights exciting work by @LadaPechuk, @gal_goldman, Yehuda Salzberg, and colleagues led by @EladSchneidman and @MeitalOren
I can't believe it's out there, the preprint of my first project! Thanks to everyone who helped me in this journey.
Now what?
BTW, the last two figures are my personal favorites :)
Can sex-specific synapses essential for behavior be predicted and reprogrammed? Yes they can!
🔥new preprint from our lab🔥
Fun collaboration with @EladSchneidman, work by the talented @LadaPechuk, @gal_goldman and Yehuda Salzberg

Help us raise awareness for the effects of COVID-19 on neuroscientists by responding to 4 questions! Mentors AND mentees (undergrad/graduate student, post-doc), how did the pandemic affect your research?

Excited for #worm21! @LadaPechuk from the lab is giving a talk today at the Synaptic Function and Circuits session, join us if you can!

At the Weizmann Institute, scientists, students and staff from all religions and more than 50 nationalities work together to move humanity forward. In these challenging times, we send a message of #hope, #coexistence and #solidarity
Congratulations @MeitalOren and @Yoav_Livneh!
It's hard to read that someone decided to lowely prioritize sharing of biological data
This will have serious and long-lasting repercussions on biological research. These databases are *completely* essential for all our communities. Will these really have to resort to crowdfunding for their survival?? @NIHDirector needs to figure out how to restore funding.

Our first paper in which the word “hermaphrodite” appears more than “male”! New preprint from great postdoc @Luo_Jintao on flexibility in C. elegans pheromone avoidance and its role in optimizing foraging decisions. #celegans @URNeuroscience @URMCBMG biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/

Does our body follow the seasons? This thread provides a view of human hormone seasonality, from our new paper “Hormone seasonality in medical records suggests circannual endocrine circuits”. pnas.org/content/118/7/e2003…
