#AgarArt from our group. We used Rainbow E. coli from Sebastian S. Cocioba🪄🌷.

When you look at your immunofluorescence, sometimes it looks back

My PhD in two papers: 📜 Pathways of MRSA adaptation to vancomycin, in PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 📜 How is resistance maintained in the absence of antibiotic, in Current Biology Cell Press cell.com/current-biolog…

Marine bacteria found in oceanic hot springs may be the closest living relative of the ancient bacteria that transformed into the mitochondria in larger cells more than a billion years ago newscientist.com/article/238684…

In 10 days, the Nobel Prize in Medicine/Physiology will be awarded. Here are the 73 scientists most likely to get woken up by a phone call from Stockholm, based on looking at recent pre-Nobel “predictor” prizes:

Today, I met with Yulia and Dasha Navalnaya – Aleksey Navalny's loved ones – to express my condolences for their devastating loss. Aleksey's legacy of courage will live on in Yulia and Dasha, and the countless people across Russia fighting for democracy and human rights.

Был один советский художественный фильм — "Дура" он назывался. Вы знаете, увидев фрагмент нового выпуска "Популярной политики" (съёмки прошли 17 марта в Тель-Авиве) вот с этой бабищей, я понял, что героиней фильма "Дура" однозначно должна быт она. (1/3, продолжение ниже)

Our paper on functional discovery of protein degradation and stabilization effectors with proteome-scale induced proximity screens is out in its final version! 1/ nature.com/articles/s4158… rdcu.be/dBUju

- За что мы воюем? За народ? Народ может существовать и без государства. Народ массово уклоняется от призыва в армию, народ разъехался по миру, война крайне непопулярна у народа, народ в этой войне скорее инструмент, чем ценность и тем более - субъект. За государство?

Our Single Cell Genomics Day - highlighting our favorite new sc/spatial methods - starts Friday at 10AM ET! The most common question we get: is this open to anyone? Yes! Talks are free and live-streamed (no registration required) on Youtube and satijalab.org/scgd

My lab was totally destroyed tonight by an Iranian missile. Nobody was hurt. Flies, plasmids, cells, equipment - all gone. Heart breaking. If during the course of the past 16 years, you have received something from my lab - please keep them safe.

סיימתי עכשיו שיחה עם חוקר במכון ויצמן שהמעבדה שלו נפגעה קשות. הוא מספר שיש מעבדות שלמות שנהרסו עד היסוד כולל ציוד מחקרי ואישי, מכונות וממצאים ששימשו למחקרים פורצי דרך, הכל ירד לטימיון. אחת המעבדות האלה היו של פרופ' ולרי קריז'נובסקי שחוקרת כבר שנים את התהליכים הביולוגיים

Our lab at the Weizmann Institute was hit tonight by Iran We will rebuild and return 💪

On leadership & support- meet the amazing first responder team (partial) who voluntarily worked during first 12h, in darkness, smoke, and ashes, to save a building's precious frozen biological samples (most saved). No words to describe the courage and dedication of these people.

It took me more than 10 days before I could enter Ullman and climb to the burnt lab. Heartbreaking. Thankful to Weizmann Institute for helping us get up on our feet and look forward.

Rubisco is (arguably) the most abundant protein on Earth. (LPP surely comes close, right?) It’s an enzyme that fixes CO₂ into sugars during photosynthesis. Unfortunately, as most people learn in school, Rubisco is inefficient. Sometimes it confuses O₂ for CO₂ and wastes

"Only ~0.02%-3.1% of [a cell's] genome" is being transcribed at any given moment. Other interesting takeaways from this new paper: > If you pool together a bunch of cells of the SAME type (like primary immune cells from a mouse's spleen), and you measure the transcription for
