BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

So excited about our recent 📜in @natcomms.nature.com In short, we found 3 lncRNAs that ensure oocyte differentiation by condensing FBF-2, a protein that prevents meiosis entry. And yes, a homologous mechanism probably exists in mammals. #fertility #lncRNA #meiosis nature.com/articles/s41...

One of the best collaborations we ever had. Brainstorming with ‪@ethanewe.bsky.social‬ whenever a new result came up, was so uplifting and we felt like we boldly go where no one has gone before. Top tier research institutions: grab him while you can!

WOoo! Hot pre-print alert! 🔥 Check out our new story - We describe evidence that "neuronal oversight" of germline small RNAs prevents sterility and allows lab-domesticated C. elegans to reproduce when temperatures go up (1/2) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

‪So proud we could take part in this amazing project! Germline/meiosis crowd, you must check this out. A whole new dimension of non-cell autonomous control on gametogenesis. Also, triple shoutout for @ethanewe.bsky.social . A great PI on the way #meiosis #germline #ncRNA

After 10 years of work, a complete telomere-to-telomere gap-free genome for C. elegans finally exists: it has 106 Mb rather than the textbook 100.3 Mb, and up to 366 additional genes. genome.cshlp.org/content/35/8...

We go to so many meetings and conferences that most just blend into our memory. But rare ones stand out and truly change the way we think and do science. 👇This was one of those that will stay a part of me.

A kind invitation by the Cell Biology Department of @charlesuni.cuni.cz brought Israeli scientist stranded in Prague after the #TCTeAC to do what we love best - participate in exciting scientific discussions!

@barakrotblat.bsky.social : "close you eyes and think about being alive". Me: "is it worth living in glucose starvation?" #TCTeAC

@tzurlab.bsky.social Yonathan Tzur at Woodstock Night Science conference #TCTEAC

Balance as a key in life and our biological question. Yonatan Tzur #TCTeAC

And now Ahmed Elewa with a beautiful development biology talk

And here it starts: @woodstocknightsci.bsky.social #TCTeAC #theconferencetoendallconferences

Another great example of the pivotal role of MAPK in reproduction

With @gazitroi.bsky.social on our way to #theconferencetoendallconferences

In this conference we couldn't care less where you published your story because 1. we only care if it's interesting and good and 2. participants will discuss unpublished work

With more research in this direction the former may not be so certain!
