Israel-Gaza war – latest updates
An “entirely man-made” famine is taking place in Gaza’s largest city and its surrounding area, UN-backed experts have declared, in an escalation in the devastated territory’s humanitarian crisis.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a globally recognised organisation that classifies the severity of food insecurity and malnutrition, found that three key thresholds for famine had been met. Continue reading...

Cory Booker just spoke for 25 hours straight about defending democracy. Here's why we’re not clapping.
— In 2019, he backed anti-BDS legislation
— In 2019, he told AIPAC: “If I forget thee, O Israel…”
— In 2021, he pushed normalization with Arab states—at Palestinians' expense

Booker doing what the Neoliberal corporate Democrats do best: theater in place of actual material pushback or change.
Bookers stunt tonight is nothing more than a photo op and achieves nothing beyond political theater.
Like other corporate Democrats he is unwilling to do anything beyond theater

advocating for science right now also means protecting academics' right to free speech, demanding that our institutions keep ICE off our campuses, & talking as much about the PhD students and professors who have been abducted by plain clothes "officers" as we do about the corruption @ NIH

And study section is postponed a day before the meeting. After taking the time to review the applications. And a few of my applications were pulled earlier this week (after I reviewed them) because of diversity. It’s disheartening and awful.
Reviewing NIH student (F31) fellowships this week, and nothing serves to hit more about the impact of current draconian attacks, on our ability to train the next gen of scientists. The talent, perseverance, scientific curiosity, and entrepreneurship of the next generation are all at stake right now.

I am livid that my student who submitted a diversity F31 and received an outstanding score, near the top of the fundable range, was told to submit again.
Refusing to fund F31s from URMs while funding regular F31s from white/privileged students with worse scores is blatant discrimination.

‼️‼️‼️ NIH is blatantly discriminating against underrepresented young scientists (again)
If this sounds familiar, that's because it is: For the second time in as many months, the NIH withdrew applications to a grant program for doctoral students from underrepresented backgrounds. #HigherEd #AcademicSky #PhDSky
NIH Again Tosses Grant Applications for Program That Funds Minority Researchers
The agency, for the second time this year, has withdrawn applications for the F31 diversity fellowship, which is designed to “promote diversity in health-related research.”

EPA is terminating more than two dozen protections against air and water pollution. It would overturn limits on soot from smokestacks that have been linked to respiratory problems in humans and premature deaths as well as restrictions on emissions of mercury, a neurotoxin.
