Last month I wrote a post about an event I organized with Women in Bio called "The Intersection of Art and Science". There I moderated a panel of female artists who use scientific concepts as inspiration for their artwork. On top of organizing a panel, we also decided to do something different and actually set up... Continue Reading →
As many of you might know, I have spent the last few months on an unplanned "sabbatical". When I stopped working, many people have said "now you will have more time for art". Little did they know. Searching for a new opportunity turned out to take up more time and effort than a full-time job.... Continue Reading →
As I have written in a couple of recent posts (here, here and here), life has been a bit hectic recently. I have been feeling like I am having science withdrawal symptoms. Last week, I have finally received an offer for a new position that I have accepted. For the last 4 years, while I... Continue Reading →
Last weekend, I attended the Eifman ballet in New York City Theater - "Tchaikovsky: The Mystery of Life and Death". Unlike the vast majority of ballets I have seen before, that are centered around a fictional story such as the "Nutcracker" or "Swan Lake", this production was quite different. It was an outsider's view of... Continue Reading →
I have never been a fan of abstract art. When I was about 10, my parents took me to Florida for the first time. While there, we took a day trip to St. Petersburg to visit the Salvador Dali museum. I felt lost and thought that the paintings were pointless. My parents said that it... Continue Reading →
This single word describes my current state quite accurately. In the beginning of April, an unpredictable event knocked the ground out from under my feet. Due to unfortunate external circumstances, the place I loved working at had to drastically downsize its staff in order to stay afloat. As my daughter likes to sing "like a... Continue Reading →
Last Friday, I spent the evening with a group of friends I used to work with during my postdoctoral fellowship. During our training at Mount Sinai, we all attended an entrepreneurship course that led us to working on a project together. We were a group of five female scientists, and whether we wanted it or...

In my recent posts I described how my work at NeuroBead has taken an unexpected turn towards raising patient awareness, rather than just portraying scientific progress. Soon after finishing my work on "The Internal Storm" epilepsy project, I was contacted by a former collaborator I knew from an entrepreneurial initiative that I was involved... Continue Reading →
Two weeks ago I attended a very interesting art exhibit entitled "EmBodied". It was organized by the SciArt Center that I have written about in an earlier post. I came across it by accident, but just in time to make it to the opening reception. Incidentally, as I was approaching the gallery, the following sign caught... Continue Reading →
Last week I wrote about a slightly unexpected turn that my work has taken. I have been posting pictures of my work in progress and finished pieces on Instagram, where I found quite a few of like-minded individuals. Most of these people are trained as scientists and want to share the beauty of what they are... Continue Reading →
