Introducing IN SITU GENOME SEQUENCING, a new technology to resolve DNA sequence🧬 and structure🔬 A team effort with Andrew Payne, Paul Reginato, Ed Boyden, Jason Buenrostro, and Fei Chen science.sciencemag.org/content/early/… This is how it works: (1/8)

Israel Status update for the first day of 2021. On a personal note, I have not yet received my vaccination, because focus is currently, rightfully, being given to people over 60, but my Mother and all people over 60 in my close family have already received their first shot.

How did Israel become the world's vaccination leader, now >13% of its population? nytimes.com/2021/01/01/wor… by Isabel Kershner —an exemplar of a digitized health system with "reputation for effiency and gathering reliable data" —centralized government adept at orchestrating a campaign

Learning from countries with the best performance vs covid wsj.com/articles/which… by Dr. Tom Frieden Crushing the curve 🇳🇿 Best early action 🇹🇼 Best testing 🇰🇷 Public communication 🇫🇮 Economic protection 🇩🇰 Add: Best vaccination 🇮🇱

Israel: 1.8 million vaccinated (~21% pop.) ~72% of all 60+ years old ~80% of all 70+ years old This week we expect to see the effect of the vaccines, by a drop in the relative number of 60+ years old out of the critically ill patients. Our projection is the blue dashed line

for the microbiologists

In our newest paper, we study how Directed Evolution may be used to engineer microbial communities. We suggest changes to previous protocols of artificial selection, and find that communities found by directed evolution are generally robust to invasions. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Excited to share our new study, demonstrating how differences in gut microbial composition across lineages are translated into host-specific metabolomes, see the thread below from the main findings. nature.com/articles/s4139…

Congratulations to Prof. Itzhak Mizrahi from BGU's School of Sustainability and Climate Change and The National Institute for Biotechnology in Negev, for being elected as a new member at The European Academy of Microbiology (EAM), which promotes excellence in microbiology across Europe and globally. microLife.

Super-exciting short talk of Itzhak Mizrahi—a new EAM member—on rumen dynamics & opportunities of manipulation/rational engineering. One more way to fight climate change by reducing emissions from cattle & manure CH4: 1 Ton same effect than 27.9 Ton CO2. N2O: 1 Ton ~ 273 Ton CO2

A perfect way to end the first HoloRuminant H2020 meeting, with a trip to Jerusalem. Thank you to the Mizrahi Lab for hosting us all! Sinéad Waters David Kenny Itzhak Mizrahi

Wow, a huge honor! Itzik Itzhak Mizrahi was elected to Fellowship in the ASM! We're grateful to the nominators, reviewers, and Academy for recognizing his contributions to the field. Shoutout to Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and LS_BGU for their support! asm.social/12B

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. Haataja Lukas Schertel Cambridge University and Val Altounian science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Dear reviewer, I apologize for taking longer than expected, but a misogynistic, homophobic, racist government tries to cancel democracy for good and we are busy fighting for our children's future. Hopefully we can complete the suggested experiments soon.

The final presentation of our microbial ecology course is warming up

📚🌐Thrilled to share our newly published paper in Nature Microbiology in which we unravel how plasmids can tip the scales in microbial war and peace.🪖🦠 Big thanks to Gur's lab The Elia Lab Jens Walter Explore the threads below for key findings (1/6): nature.com/articles/s4156…
