My lab kept telling me: “When are you finally taking us on your Friday morning Talpiot Market tour?!”

So we made it happen 🌞🥬
A full-on Haifa Friday experience: colorful market chaos, rooftop views over the port, fresh Bar Yam ceviche, incredible Thai food, spices, fruit tastings, and way too many bags of produce by the end of the day.

And the best part - celebrating the amazing Dr. Sivan Arber Raviv ⭐️ who officially finished her PhD journey. So grateful for a lab full of curious, adventurous people who wanted to reconnect outside the lab and experience one of my favorite places in the city together.

Science, community, food, and Haifa magic 💛

Excited to share I’m running for Director-at-Large of @CRSScience 🙌

CRS has been an incredible community of colleagues, collaborators & friends. From planning committees to chairing the 2025 meeting, it’s been an honor to give back.

Proud of what we’ve advanced together:
🌍 CRS Around the World
🔍 Double-blind abstract review
🎤 Greater speaker diversity
🤝 Integrated patient–clinician–scientist sessions

I’m motivated to keep building on this momentum.

In our Bioinspired Nano-Engineering course, science becomes real when patients and families join the classroom.

We were honored to host Mary-Lin Manor Sela, who shared her experience with triple-negative breast cancer. Her story transformed theory into purpose-reminding students that behind every experiment is a person waiting for better options.

Every patient deserves a physician-scientist who believes a cure is possible.

Hosting patients and families in our Bioinspired Nano-Engineering course connects research to real clinical needs. Science becomes personal- and purposeful. Every patient needs a physician/scientist who believes a cure is possible.

Pregnancy creates unique therapeutic challenges- but also opportunities for innovation. Excited to share our work on how nanomedicine can be engineered to protect two patients at once. 👇🏻

Got a raincoat from @RSFLab at 2019 after chairing the GRS.
Finally used it today - turns out it’s amazing.🥰 Thanks Ronit!!!!
Took me 6 years to realize Ronit’s weather foresight 🌧️🧥

When your team really wants an ultra centrifuge and uses all the whatsapp messages and AI tools they have to try and convince you! @OfriVizenblit

Super enjoyed the APGI 2025 meeting at Turin!

Great science and amazing people!

Looking forward meeting you all in future conferences☺️
