What’s happening in Israel? Please read and share this thread that I wrote to help clarify the dramatic (and complicated) events that threaten to turn Israel into a dictatorship in a matter of weeks 👇

Imagine you’re a plasmid conjugating into a recipient cell. How would you overcome CRISPR-Cas and other bacterial defense systems? Encoding anti-defense mechanisms is one obvious way. But where? And how? Bruria Samuel set out to explore! 🧵 1/6 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So excited to share this one - A tunable reflector enabling crustaceans to see but not be seen Science Magazine a fantastic collaboration between Keshet Shavit, Avital Wagner Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and J.

Thank you for organizing such an inspiring workshop NTU Singapore BBML_NTU

I have never gotten involved in Israel's domestic politics, but my deep respect for its people and concern for its future has led me to speak out against the government's plan to effectively abolish the independence of its judiciary. nyti.ms/3IPeLRS

Another "Rage Day" today! Yesterday the government passed a law limiting the circumstances in which a prime minister can be removed (to shield Bibi from any fallout from his corruption trials). Here's Weizmann Institute's physicist שקמה ברסלר Shikma Bressler being arrested at the protest.

The universities (finally) strike. No school starting tomorrow morning.

Having a wonderful time in Manchester at the peptide self assembly conference with current, past and future lab members plus TuttleLab

So honored to receive the Junbai Li Award for best oral presentation at the Peptide Self-Assembly (PSA 2023) meeting in Manchester!

🇵🇹🇮🇱 Earlier this month #TWIN2PIPSA @FC_UL members visited partners at Tel Aviv University hosted by the Gazit Lab and collaborators. Lab tours🥼sharing research and learning tech transfer strategies💡Excellent opportunity for developing new synergies and great perspectives ahead!🤝🔬

Had such a great visit ULisboa as part of TWIN2PIPSA 🇪🇺 Protein Biophysics & Self-Assembly. Enjoyed meeting Cláudio Gomes Lab - Protein Misfolding in Disease Patricia Fonseca, Miguel Machuqueiro Mario Rodrigues, Romana Santos and Federico Herrerra. Thank you Cláudio Gomes Lab - Protein Misfolding in Disease for organizing this awesome visit

Congrats Rif on this great paper! This work is our contribution to Communications Chemistry special collection on Coacervation in Systems Chemistry edited by SpruijtLab Nathalie Katsonis Lorraine Leon Guillermo Monreal Santiago

Check out Rif Harris new Communications Chemistry paper on how condensate composition affect enzymatic reactions

Very happy to share our latest work in Small Wiley in research 🧪🔬🧬 We studied how the composition of aromatic amino acids affect #LLPS and formation of heterotypic #condensates using minimalistic #peptide/RNA model system. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm…

I’m excited and grateful to receive the European Research Council (ERC) StG (3rd time’s the charm!) Thanks to the reviewers and to my wonderful team members Tel Aviv University for their great work. In CoRe, we will design biomolecular condensates for regulation of chemical reactions #LLPS #ERCStG
