Had the pleasure to be invited via ScienceAbroad to Israel Foreign Ministry for a roundtable session, discussing solving BDS and antisemitism in academia, led by the fantastic Sharren Haskel השכל שרן. I must say - Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער and Sharren Haskel השכל שרן truly get it. I'm optimistic to what's ahead 💪🏼🇮🇱.

Looking for talented, motivated people to join me! We will try to uncover how plants disassemble the photosynthetic apparatus in senescence and fruit ripening, and uncover the mechanisms governing chilling injuries post harvest. I promise that it will be interesting and fun.

What is being an academic in Israel you ask? During the keynote lecture of a conference held in a science museum, a rocket alarm goes off, making all the kids to pour into the lecture hall, which happens to be a bomb shelter.

Photosynthesis enthusiasts: Check out our work on how purple bacteria maintain efficient solar energy conversion, even under low light, published in Chem 🥳 Paper: t.ly/nHqPI Great joint effort with Dr. Dihao Wang, mentored by the LH juggernaut Gabriela Schlau-Cohen!

MIT’s class president, Megha Vemuri, spent her graduation speech bashing Israel. Then President Sally Kornbluth spoke immediately after and oh boy was that awkward.

On what should’ve been a unifying day at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), President Sally Kornbluth let a commencement speaker hijack the stage to demonize Israel. Nearly 2 years of antisemitic hostility—and still, Jewish students get silence while bigotry gets a mic. Shameful. #freeMITfromSallyKornbluth

What an honor! 👏🏻🇮🇱👏🏻 Retsef is such a phenomenal scientist and an even better person. So well deserved and I'm sure he will do his best to benefit us all.
