Join this exciting Mind-IL meeting on developmental biology, stem cells and regeneration! Excellent line of speakers and outstanding work by the organizers. Also endorsed by the Israeli Society for Developmental Biology.

We had a blast at #EZM2026. Four fantastic talks from the lab, excellent science, and fun with colleagues and friends. First time we had 2 Germline and Early Development sessions, speaking highly to the growth of our community. Thanks to the organizers - chapeau! #zebrafish @ezsociety.bsky.social

We’re heading to #EZM2026! Check out FOUR talks from the Elkouby lab, with exciting new stories presented by our fantastic four. Make sure to grab Avishag, Amal, Neta, and Swastik for a chat. They’ll be entering the postdoc market very soon. #zebrafish

A Medjool date infused Old Fashioned, for peace and better days all around ✨ I called it Middle Eastern Old Fashioned. Shabbat Shalom and peaceful weekend 🙏🏼 Receipt below👇🏼

Our superhero Neta Hart volunteered to come in to the lab and take care of our fish, no matter what, even under missile attacks. We gave her this not-even-nearly- appropriate diploma 💪🏼🐟 #zebrafish

Congratulations our own Amal Shawahny for being awarded the IMRIC Young Researcher Prize by HUJI-Med!💐 Despite interruptions by missile launches.. excellent prize talk nonetheless 💪🏼 We are all proud of you! See Amal’s paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social : www.cell.com/current-biol... #zebrafish

Was a pleasure to participate in ScoRe - Scientific Conference On REproduction - celebrating 150/y since the observation of sperm and egg pronuclear fusion in @flatironinstitute.org. A stellar gathering discussing all things germ cells! Thanks @haysconun.bsky.social, Stas Shvartsman for the invite!

🔥A second preprint from our lab this week! Especially proud of this one that helps unlock a black box in #reproduction. We propose a #morphogenetic framework for #oocyte production from germline stem cells in #zebrafish and from progenitors in humans. > www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7...
