Females are *MUCH* more sexually active than hermaphrodites :) Come hear @EyaWolfson ‘s talk next Monday at #worm23 for more details on the molecular mechanisms and the first description of Caenorhabditis female mating behavior

Here's a video we have of this C. afra female being very much intrigued by the extracurricular activity of this other couple. Come see what happens next and how it relates to mating strategies at my talk at #Worm23's Ecology and Evolution session on Monday, 8:30AM @MeitalOren

Damage dynamics in individual E. coli cells as they age explains why identical cells die at different times. Amazingly, damage follows a stochastic equation found also in mice. Aging may be universal in its fundamental dynamics. #qbio #aging disq.us/t/4ftdprd

Is it possible that Graves' and Hashimoto's, two opposite autoimmune diseases of the thyroid, have the same origin? We suggest they do and that their origin even has an important physiological role for all of us cell.com/trends/immunology/f… @TrendsImmuno
Autoimmune thyroid diseases as a cost of physiological autoimmune surveillance

Autoimmune thyroid diseases as a cost of physiological autoimmune surveillance

GD and HT are autoimmune disorders of the thyroid gland. They affect ~5% of the general population worldwide, making them the most common organ-specific autoimmune diseases in humans [1,2].

1/14 We consume about a million calories every year, yet our weight stays nearly constant. What circuit can do that? What determines our weight? A new graphical model sheds light on fat mass regulation. @iScience_CP @AlonBar10 #obesity #systemsphysiology sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I can't believe it's out there, the preprint of my first project! Thanks to everyone who helped me in this journey. Now what? BTW, the last two figures are my personal favorites :)

Can sex-specific synapses essential for behavior be predicted and reprogrammed? Yes they can! 🔥new preprint from our lab🔥 Fun collaboration with @EladSchneidman, work by the talented @LadaPechuk, @gal_goldman and Yehuda Salzberg biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Sex-specific topology of the nociceptive circuit shapes dimorphic behavior in C. elegans

Sex-specific topology of the nociceptive circuit shapes dimorphic behavior in C. elegans

How sexually dimorphic behavior is encoded in the nervous system is poorly understood. Here, we characterize the dimorphic nociceptive behavior in C. elegans and study the underlying circuits, which...

Bravo and thanks @UriAlonWeizmann! A summary song after lecturing on a hyper-secreting model of autoimmunity at #cshlsysimm - should go into the Conference album?!? Can't wait for 2023 (in person!)

Does our body follow the seasons? This thread provides a view of human hormone seasonality, from our new paper “Hormone seasonality in medical records suggests circannual endocrine circuits”. pnas.org/content/118/7/e2003… . 1/

כשהתחיל מבצע החיסונים בישראל, היו שהתווכחו איתי שאין צורך בהסברה, שכולם ירוצו להתחסן ואת הבודדים שלא ישכנע הדרכון הירוק ותעודת מתחסן. טענתי אז וטוענת עכשיו: בלי הסברה רצינית, ממוקדת וקשובה, מותאמת אוכלוסיה ומותאמת שפה, לא נגיע לשיעורי ההתחסנות הנדרשים לעצירת המגיפה בישראל.

In times of trouble I love reading textbooks. I'm rereading Keener and Snyed, an irresistible combination of how our body works and math models that make sense of it all.
