If you put two and two together, Stony Brook University Hillel is using state resources to help recruit students to participate in war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Indeed, birthright trips typically mifgash (encounters)-social time with active IDF.

Thanks to you Chanda for turning me on to this! I’m out west, high desert, and am getting some amazing dark skies! These are just raw images. Cant wait to get to a computer to clean them up. 😊

2/3 In this manuscript, we demonstrate that LINE-1 retrotransposons replicate like crazy in motor cortex of a mouse TDP-43 model of ALS and FTD. Using the classic Moran L1-eGFP indicator, we show that replication in neurons predicts cell death. Non-cell autonomous death also follows.

Columbia and Barnard University Alumni and friends, join us to show our anger with the university administration and board for their capitulation to fascism, attacks on free speech and refusal to disclose and divest.

Alumni:
bring your diplomas!
Wear regalia if you have it.

I was so glad to be in streets tonight with 1000 other Jewish folk at the JVP liberation Seder on this third night of Passover. No to abductions. No to deportations. No to genocide. Outside of the ICE headquarters, we say “come for one of us, face us all”!

📍 LOCATION: FOLEY SQUARE, NYC

Join us for a Liberation Seder on Monday 4/14 at 5:30pm. RSVP at jvp.org/nycliberations….

We will not stand by as this fascist regime continues arming and funding Israel's genocide of Palestinians and criminalizes those who speak out against it.

Manspreading is a pejorative neologism referring to the practice of men sitting with legs wide apart, thereby covering more than one seat.

Great to visit to IU for a talk and to meet with wonderful fly (and non-fly) colleagues!

Thanks to @mariadelapax.bsky.social and @hoosierflyman.bsky.social for the invitation!

Visiting the Bloomington stock center was like a trip to Mecca.

That’s a big fly food kettle!

#Dros25 is awesome, as always.
Definitely seeing many absent posters, the effects of the assault on science.

Great to see so many friends and colleagues at the 66th annual Drosophila conference!

And bonus: my hotel room has a white board!

Thanks for covering this protest!The SRG cops were a bit rough. But out and in one piece.

Columbia and other institutions better wake up and realize that no level of repression of speech on campus will ever satisfy this fascist junta. University administrators think they can defend institutions by capitulating. But the opposite is true. Defending academia requires courageous fight back.

A Columbia faculty member denounced one of his students to a fascist regime, and the regime then took the student from campus without a judicial warrant-extrajudicial abduction. As a Jewish professor, let me say that watching another Jewish professor do such a thing leaves me speechless.
