Researcher at Tel Aviv University. I like to play with embryo-like models to understand development.

Joined April 2018
New preprint! These elongating embryo-like structures formed entirely from sheep stem cells in vitro. They develop neural tubes, somites, neurons, and kidney progenitors โ€” modeling post-gastrulation trunk development. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ 1/8

Our work is finally published in @Dev_Cell! We predict and affect endodermal morphotype choice in mouse #gastruloids. Great work by @NaamaFa , with key contributions from Chen Sacharen and @LaraAvni. Full paper at authors.elsevier.com/a/1jCamโ€ฆ

Dear American friends. Our Prime Minister has a tendency to lie in his interviews for International media, so I came to help with some facts. Please pass on to your friends - and come help us, Israelis who are fighting for democracy, save our country.

On Friday, the sun put on a dazzling show for us. My friend @TheVastReaches and I worked hard over the last 5 days to produce this incredibly detailed 140 megapixel image to illustrate how wonderfully dynamic and beautiful our star can be. Make sure you zoom in!

Our paper is out @ScienceAdvances! Check out how a single line of inner hair cells within the mammalian cochlea๐Ÿš forms. Congrats to the fantastic @roecon91 @ShaharTaiber & Olga Loza. See the thread below. science.org/doi/10.1126/sciaโ€ฆ

We believe this approach can be extendable to other structures in the gastruloid system, as well as to other organoids for controlling variability, and will also shed light on the factors that provide the embryo its morphogenetic robustness.

Knowing how to give a good talk is a crucial skill to have, but it's mostly not formally taught very well. Here's a ๐Ÿงตon my strategy for how to prepare for the presentation, actually present it, and then answer the questions.

Wow! Scientists have observed a single-cell alga evolve in real time into a multicellular organism. The transition took around a year and was caused by the introduction of a predator into the environment. nature.com/articles/s41598-0โ€ฆ
