Excited to carry these lessons forward as I continue thinking about how scientific research can create broader impact.

[Asaf Benjamin @AsafBenj]

I’m happy to share that I have graduated with honors from the @BINAWIS1 Bina Innovation Fellows Program at the @WeizmannScience.

At Weizmann, we focus primarily on basic/fundamental science. But stepping back every now and then to ask how our discoveries can actually help... 1/N

[Asaf Benjamin @AsafBenj]

the Bina team, the organizers, mentors, lecturers, and fellow participants for creating such a thoughtful and inspiring program. A special thank you to Dr. @SharonFireman, Prof. Tony Futerman, and everyone involved in making this fellowship such a valuable experience...

Boycotting academics in Israel is counterproductive https://t.co/0Qw80tXHyH
In this correspondence to Nature, my colleagues Mouna Maroun, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Roi Avraham, Shir Atzil, and I explain why boycotting the Israeli academia is counterproductive.

I'm very happy to share our new study published today in @ScienceAdvances showing how Early Life Adversity leads to social deficits later in life. It was great to work on this one with my best friends Aron Kos and @JulienDine at @alon_chen_lab.

Congrats Pablo! Looking forward to reading it!

[Juan Pablo Lopez @JPablo_Neuro]

This is a fun short piece that I got to write with my friend and mentor @alon_chen_lab for @TheLancetNeuro. We highlight here 5 important studies published in the field of neuropsychiatric research during 2023.

@FelixFelxfel @OferYizhar Thank you so much!

[Asaf Benjamin @AsafBenj]

Presenting my research at the "Neurobiology of Social Behaviors" conference to some of the greatest minds in the field has been so exciting and humbling. I couldn't have asked for a more supportive & constructive environment for my first formal talk at an international conference

[Asaf Benjamin @AsafBenj]

Thanks again @OferYizhar for this amazing opportunity! I learned so much. And running down the hills of Erice at sunset was another unforgettable experience.

[Asaf Benjamin @AsafBenj]

@LabPapaleo Very excited to be here. The view is almost as great as the lineup! :) Thanks for organizing it

[Asaf Benjamin @AsafBenj]

That's amazing Pablo - congrats!

Congrats Pablo and everyone involved in this amazing project!

[Juan Pablo Lopez @JPablo_Neuro]

Very happy to share our new study published today in @CellReports. We explored a very important question, which is how does stress affect the brains of males and females differently?

Interested to identify a behavioral profile specific for socially defeated mice?
Use the new open-source tool DeepOF developed by @MathiasVSchmidt and colleagues.

Congrats, great work Mathias!
