I am a professor of genetics, focusing on mitochondrial genomics and evolution
We have now learnt that the international court in Haag considers prosecuting Hamas for crimes against humanity. Really? Now with just circumstantial evidence? How much cynicism could be there? Hamas should be executed, eliminated, not prosecuted. Hamas is ISIS

It is importent to remember that science will not stop.

This is my once and future mentor
This is Dr. Douglas Wallace. A biologist who’s spent 45 years studying mitochondria. His message? Cancer, heart disease & even aging—aren’t random. They begin when your mitochondria fail to make enough energy. Here’s the energy story modern medicine missed: 🧵
The Mishmar Lab - having great time at the Department of Life Sciences Retreat, March 2025

It took awhile, but Hadar Medini's paper is out in Genome Research, and it made the cover of the March issue! genome.cshlp.org/content/early/… Hadar - KUDOS! Learn more about the importance of mito-nuclear co-regulation across evolution during the course of development.
Tomorrow the Genetics Society of Israel @GSI_GenSocIsr will hold its annual meeting at the Hebrew University. LAT DAY TO REGISTER: genetics-il.net/school-events
The Mishmar lab is celebrating 20 years of Science. We gathered former and current members, visited Tel Beer-Sheva. I am privileged to guide all these people through their scientific path!

On February 6th 2025 the @GSI_GenSocIsr (Genetics Society of Israel) will hold its annual meeting, Hebrew University, Jerusalem. The talks were already invited but there is plenty of room for poster presentations: genetics-il-event.forms-wizard.biz YOU ARE ALL INVITED!!

A new podcast chapter of the Genetics Society of Israel @GSI_GenSocIsr This time - two graduate students (Noam Shtolz and Gavriel Minor) discus with Prof. Nissim Benvenisty (Hebrew University) the nature of stem cells, their role in development, in human disorders (Hebrew)
Thanks Alexey! Excellent example for possible differences between the activity of the mitochondria around a certain subcellular compartments.

Some positive news despit the daily horrors in Israel: glad to attend and give a talk at @Evol_mtg in Montreal, and meet old friend and colleague @flo

Proud of Noam Shtolz and Gavriel Minor- graduate students in our lab at. @LsBgu as they present their work while at the GRC Mitochondria and chloroplast meeting, Barcelona


Proud of our undergrad Idan Perri presenting his work during the departmental day of @ls

Did you ask yourself about the coordinated expression of the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes during development? During evolution ? Read the preprint by Hadar Medini from my lab at @LsBgu (currently under review) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
This heartwarming gesture from the representative of the German government to kibbutz Nir Oz, only emphasizes the lack of activity of our terrible government. #בחירות_עכשיו
Today his family, his friends and his kibbutz Nir Oz laid Dolev Yehud to rest. How much love there was for him! I had the honour to speak on behalf of our country.
