Our joint work with @levy_lab is now OUT in Nature Communications !!!
we show that sleep is an ancient biological function, already present in jellyfish and sea anemones, where it protects neurons from cellular stress.
Congrats @Amir_Harduf @CnidoRaph

👩🔬🔬🔎Meet the Scientists!💻🪸🐟
Shahaf Ben-Ezra is a young and promising IUI PhD student, native to Eilat! "Yeah, born and raised! The sea's always been my calling. The more I study, the more I realize how much we still don't know about it. It's made me appreciate it even more."

Clock gene in N. vectensis, revealing its unique role in circadian rhythms. Unlike in other species, this gene helps maintain daily rhythms in constant conditions but not under L/D cycles, suggesting a stabilizing function in irregular environments

Within @AquaPLAN_EU marine pollution experts @levy_lab focus on #lightpollution in Red Sea coral reefs & their synchronised coral spawning, when once a year the entire coral reef simultaneously releases gametes & is disrupted by artificial light 🪸❌💡

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our teacher and friend Zvy Dubinsky.
Zvy was a professor in the Faculty of Life Sciences at Bar-Ilan University. A significant part of his work to researching photobiology and ecophysiology of corals in the Gulf of Eilat.

NEW paper!🌙💡 Through a 30-month study, we discovered that Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) alters the coral skeletal structure and impairs its light capture capacity.
