Excited to share my first first-authored paper! 🧵1/7 Klotho, a Greek goddess and one of the three Fates, spins the thread of human life, determining the moment of its end. https://t.co/0H1tzZ2OmN

מכון ויצמן התקבל בוואצאפ, אתן קרדיט אם יהיה

Our lab at the Weizmann Institute was hit tonight by Iran We will rebuild and return 💪

6/ P.S. BrainFREEZE was inspired by the fantastic @nightsciencepod. Can’t recommend it enough! 🎧

5/ Sharing what we don’t know is just as important as sharing our wins. It helps us beat frustration and opens the door to real discoveries. Let’s make academia more honest—and more human—by talking about failure. Share your BrainFREEZE! 🧠❄️

4/ Ironically, our seminar on failure was a huge success! The talks were packed with humor, insight, and unexpected scientific value. Turns out, there’s a lot to gain when we stop pretending failure doesn’t happen.

3/ Huge thanks to the brave and brilliant students who shared their not-quite-publishable results. From them, we learned: 1️⃣ Everyone fails — it’s part of the process. 2️⃣ Failed experiments can be revived. 3️⃣ Failure stories can be as inspiring as successes.

2/ We think it’s time to change that. Together with Shani Shapira and Adi Tamam from Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC), we launched BrainFREEZE — a special seminar all about scientific failures!

1/ From a young scientist’s view, it often feels like everyone else’s journey is just success after success—papers, grants, breakthroughs. But behind each one? Countless failures, dead ends, and roadblocks. And yet… no one talks about them.

To succeed in science, we must learn to fail. Big discoveries often come from getting comfortable with failure — but no one teaches grad students how to do that. Why don’t we talk more about failure in science? It’s time we start. 🧵

In today's episode of the Night Science Podcast we talk with Martin Schwartz from @Yale about the importance of stupidity in science: while learning science makes you feel smart, true scientific discovery often involves feeling stupid, because it means venturing into the unknown.

#ADPD2025 was a blast! Thank you to the organizers and to all the participants for such a grand event!

#ADPD2025 #photocontest It is my first ADPD conference, but not my first time in #Vienna! 2020: Me in #belvedere, paying for the trip by myself, and kissing an older guy (my husband) 2025: Me in #belvedere, supported by a travel grant, kissing a much younger guy (my son)

How I choose my scientific collaborations #ADPD2025

I had a great time presenting my research at #ADPD2025 in #Vienna! Apart from sharing my results, I also learned a lot! For example, I discovered that my 1-year-old son Ethan is already better at academic networking than his mother...

I really miss work. I feel like I am not progressing enough. But I can’t bear seeing my son crying like this either. On top of everything, my paper has recently been rejected, adding to the feeling of failure. Help! @AcademicMamas @parentinscience 2/2

How to be a mother in science and stay sane? My 9mo old has a severe separation anxiety. In September we started a nursery, resulting in me not being able to work for another month, taking him home swollen from tears after an hour or two of crying. 1/2

Dear community, we hope you are safe these days🙏 Towards our meeting, don’t miss the chance to share your sc-ience, poster submission deadline is coming up, Aug. 29th⌛️. 👉   https://t.co/vKgKwpqDRU Looking forward to seeing you Sept, 26th, 10AM @ELSCbrain, Givat Ram, JLM.

Thankful for the opportunity to present my research (and my son) to the leading scientists in #SingleCell research at #SCB2024

Thanks for highlighting our paper! @CommsBio
