Kickstarting the HoloRuminant H2020 meeting with Mizrahi Lab and Diego morgavi here in The National Institute for Biotechnology in Negev, Israel! Nice to finally see people face to face after a year or so of Zoom meetings.

This hungry macrophage just macrophaging is amazing 👏🏻 #MedTwitter #biology

We are excited and humbled to accept this prize. Thank you KKL, JNF Canada and the referees for their time and evaluation. Thank you Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, LS_BGU The National Institute for Biotechnology in Negev, the School of Sustainability and climate change and Danny Chamovitz for your continuance support.

Pls RT: Any computational (micro)biologists out there looking for a #postdoc position? 🦠👩‍🎓👩‍💻 We’d love to have you in our lab in Jerusalem studying the infant gut #microbiome. There is a 2-week window for a great postdoc fellowship application, so pls talk to me asap.

Open postdoc position: we are looking for a chemist interested in how microbial communities transform their environments (machine oils and bioplastics). Come work with a fun, interdisciplinary group in Lausanne, Switzerland. Apply here by 31.12. career5.successfactors.eu/sfcareer/jobre… or RT

לאור הפופולאריות של השרשור על הצטלקסטן (לא זטלקסטן, תודה למתקנים) בואו נצלול למערכת, נדבר על הת׳כלס של איך היא עובדת, איך אני עובד איתה ומה אפשר לעשות. אזהרה: אין כאן שום דבר סקסי. כלום. אפס. אם אתם מחפשים פתרון פלא טכנולוגי - לא פה. סגור? סגור. יאללה שרשור (21).

Our plasmid workshop together with Alvaro San Millan Shai Pilosof is embracing. Inspiring talks and conversations are taking place while sailing through the plasmid biology ocean. Thank you LS_BGU Ben-Gurion University of the Negev for the support!

It turns out that genes of gut microbes are being horizontally transferred from mothers to babies month after birth. Insightful paper by Xavier Lab

In today's date, ~1.7 million bacterial genomes are being hosted in NCBI. Salmonella Enterica and Escherichia Coli represent around 40% of those genomes. Considering only the species that make 1% or more , we have 12 bacteria summing to ~64% of all bacterial genomes.

Beautiful new work by the Phil b. Pope uncovering metabolic effects of rumen Protozoa.

🦠Microbial Ecology Lovers 🦠. An opportunity to join our great team and dive into the world of microbial eco-genomics. 🐄🧫🧬

🧬Check out our new exciting preprint on the amazing world of plasmids, tiny DNA entities which spread special functions such as antibiotic resistance. We tackled the long-standing question: How do plasmids spread across humans? Shai Pilosof Jonathan Friedman researchsquare.com/article/rs-327…

חשוב להדהד את זה היום יותר מתמיד כי במלחמה הזו לראשונה הוקם בישראל חמ״ל יהודי ערבי. החמ״ל הזה פועל מרהט לסייע למשפחות יהודיות וערביות מהדרום שנפגעו בארועים. התרומות לפעילות נאספות מערבים ומיהודים, המתנדבות והמתנדבים מגיעים מהחברה היהודית והערבית, והסיוע כמובן, לכל מי שנפגע.

Our new paper with the J. Peter Gogarten, led by Israela Turgeman-Grott, is finally out and shows some surprising properties of homing endonucleases within archaeal double inteins. tinyurl.com/4ruey3mv #Haloferax #archaea #inteins #meganucleases

כשאתה מדבר על אבא שלך שחטוף ב-01:30 בערוץ 12 ומסתבר שהיחידי שצפה הוא חבר שעשה מילואים בצנזורה. אבל אתם לא תשכחו את החטופים. נכון?

On this World Children's Day, it important to remind the world there are more than 40 children kidnapped in Gaza by Hamas-ISIS, a jihadist terror organization. These children were kidnapped only because they were Jewish and Israeli. We want a different ending. #BringThemBack
