Females are *MUCH* more sexually active than hermaphrodites :) Come hear @EyaWolfson โs 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

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 https://t.co/zKfXv6nrkK

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

Happy to share that my paper if finally published!
New paper from a fun collaboration w/ @LadaPechuk @gal_goldman Yehuda Salzberg & @MeitalOren: Reprogramming the topology of the nociceptive circuit in C.ย elegans reshapes sexual behavior https://t.co/5cKjE8XLKK More details below, TL;DR

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! ๐ฅnew preprint from our lab๐ฅ Fun collaboration with @EladSchneidman, work by the talented @LadaPechuk, @gal_goldman and Yehuda Salzberg https://t.co/Q4KIxUMt2h

My new course Hormone Circuits is now on YouTube. Each of the 11 lectures has a special guitar song. Lecture 1 is about the weight set-point. https://t.co/kL9iwHuW7N

Our new paper is out in @nchembio where we describe our journey from a #covalent fragment screen to an in vivo active Pin1 inhibitor. https://t.co/DKdvmjYJ6f Below is a musical abstract guest-starring @UriAlonWeizmann and a tweetorial 1/n

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!)

Check out our new paper, a comprehensive view on human hormone seasonality!
Does our body follow the seasons? This thread provides a view of human hormone seasonality, from our new paper โHormone seasonality in medical records suggests circannual endocrine circuitsโ. https://t.co/jer8BvjTkE . 1/

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.
