What a fantastic workshop it was, celebrating 30 years to @picoquant.bsky.social Thanks for assisting establishing and maintaining the single molecule spectroscopy community, and for many more years. Thanks also for the chance to give a talk about iur recent photosynthesis-related work.

Khalil Joron, a very talented PhD student from my group, has won the prestigious 2025 #Clore fund #Scholarship for outstanding doctoral students. Khalil develops fluorescence-based tools for sensing microenvironmental properties of phase-separated bio-condensates. Big congrats, Khalil.

PDRA in molecular etiology of Parkinson's disease. We seek to characterize biomolecular species inducing disease-promoting cellular toxicity. Research involves single-molecule assays, advanced fluorescence imaging, mass-spectrometry and structural modeling Apply for funding - Fullbright fellowship

Congratulate Paz Drori from my group, for being awarded the Alexander Silberman Institute's SMART prize for her work on developing the flow virometer approach (summarized in this paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.is...).

doi.org/10.1038/s435... which established a specific tRNA fragment (tRF) motif as target in blood testing for pre-symptomatic Parkinson's disease. Our contribution: showing translational inhibition via disrupted ribosomal association of the tRF. Thanks, Hermona Soreq and team.

“This discovery represents a major advancement in our understanding of Parkinson’s disease and offers a simple, minimally invasive blood test as a tool for early diagnosis,” said Prof Hermona Soreq of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who supervised the study" www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Congrats Gabriel, the team and our collaborators from Hebrew U on two new papers on compact microscopes (www.science.org/doi/full/10....) and their applications to virus detection (www.cell.com/iscience/ful... - we got even featured in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/d41....

Are you looking for a postdoc position and in search of appropriate funding? Check this opportunity out this opportunity (azrielifoundation.org/azrieli-fell...) and discuss with me the opportunity for a postdoctoral research position in my lab and the several leading-edge projects

Thanks, @sarahrauscher.bsky.social lab. It was an honor to contribute to this work. PEG is not a typical crowder. Even highly stable proteins, e.g., mCherry, undergo specific interactions with PEG that above a given concentration will seemingly induce phase separation of this well-folded protein.

It is almost happening - #BPS2025 - and we are happy to attend and present our research. A thread. 1) I will give a talk on Saturday morning at the Biological Fluorescence subgroup, presenting the work spearheaded by the PhD student Khalil Joron, about

Dear US Scientists friends, I feel for you. Just be prepared - it'll probably get worse. How do I know? because academia in Israel is also fighting a fascist gov. Thankfully, they're an incompetent bunch and still don't have so much power as POTUS... But we've already seen attempts to pass laws >>

Perhaps, as initial post, I'll reiterate this work, where we use the fact that in photosynthetic unicellular species, autofluorescence is rich in meaningful multiparameter data. This work was first in several upcoming works, stepping into complexities of photosynthesis doi.org/10.1111/febs...

Hello World, and everyone here. After a long time spent in other social media networks, with the rise of non-scientific content slowly creeping in, until its recent spiking, I decided to move to BlueSky, with the hope that my lab/team will find the strictly-scientific safe haven. Fingers crossed.
