Proud moment in Eretria, Greece! Congratulations to my PhD students Yulia Eriukova and Grisha Rubinovskii on excellent talks at the FEBS Advanced Lecture Course, Extracellular Matrix in Health and Disease. Wonderful to see them share their research and grow as scientists!

Yesterday, the Weizmann Institute community lost Prof. Ada Yonath—my mentor, colleague, and friend. She taught me to think independently, pursue the impossible, and follow my own path. I will carry her wisdom, humanity, and belief in me always. May her memory be a blessing.

🎉 Excited to share our new paper in Immunity! Can a tissue remember inflammation after the inflammation itself is gone? We find that it can—and that this memory can be stored in an unexpected place: the extracellular matrix (ECM). 🧵👇 cell.com/immunity/abstract/S…

Excited to share our new paper in Science Translational Medicine! In our work we identified the ECM as a potential target to treat metastatic melanoma by targeting LOX and HSP70 with biselective LOX-propeptide decoys. Congrats to @irit_irit @LevyCarmit @LabSagi @MatrxBiomeLab

Instead of living a normal student's life, and focusing on her PhD, Nofar is fighting for her brother's return from captivity 💔 #BringThemHomeNow #Hamas_is_ISIS @TelAvivUni
My brilliant PhD student Nufar, whose brother is a hostage in Gaza for over 80 days. Nothing prepared me to being a mentor under such a scenario. How can we even continue research in the lab?? Please help her, help us, spread this heart-breaking humanitarian call.

Noa is also held hostage by the hamas. I am trying not to think of it because otherwise, I can't breathe. We must bring the hostages back. Only international pressure can help. Soon, it will be too late. #hamasiISIS

Pro-Israel gatherings in universities (all that I've seen): - mourning the murdered and calling for the return of the abducted - NOT calling for any violence - condemning Hamas terrorism, NOT even mentioning that Hamas was democratically elected in Gaza Anti-Israel gatherings in many universities: - calling for violence ("Intifada", e.g., yesterday at MIT) - calling for genocide ("From the river to the sea", e.g., yesterday at MIT) - chanting against the US ("Hey hey, ho ho, the United States has got to go", e.g., yesterday at Harvard)
Today @MIT. Make no mistake, “from the river to the sea” is a call for genocide. How are Israeli/Jewish students, staff, and faculty supposed to feel safe on campus? Alongside hate, this rally used the ignorant participants to spread lies also unbecoming of an elite institution.
