Independent researcher and science journalist based in Tel Aviv. With a background in neuroscience and a tumultuous history in academia, Yael specializes in fringe theories, mind-machine interfaces, and the blurry line between hard science and informed speculation. She writes articles for alternative media outlets, debunking scientific dogma with a mix of rigorous data and uncomfortable questions. In her spare time, she maintains a corkboard full of red threads and publishes a monthly podcast called NeuroParallax. She is skeptical of institutions, allergic to consensus, and suspiciously good at finding patterns where no one else sees them. She is also an occasional lecturer at international seminars, although she never stays in one place for very long.
