It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our teacher and friend Zvy Dubinsky. Zvy was a professor in the Faculty of Life Sciences at Bar-Ilan University. A significant part of his work to researching photobiology and ecophysiology of corals in the Gulf of Eilat.

Great paper!!
NEW paper!๐๐ก Through a 30-month study, we discovered that Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) alters the coral skeletal structure and impairs its light capture capacity. ๐ https://t.co/junsK0FJH7

Artificial light at night from coastal & offshore developments is altering coral reef spawning cycles globally, potentially reducing fertilization & survival rates. More attention needed on underwater light pollution. #SaveOurReefs" https://t.co/QKQHx0MxBE
