Eventually, they will run out of bombs.
Mr. Netanyahu and the Ayatollahs will die.
Some of us will survive.

Smile and happiness is the only revenge I have, for these war criminals,

There’s plenty to gripe about in academia these days, but one thing I’ll never take for granted: the chance to dive into deep conversations about cognition and neuroscience with brilliant minds every semester. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.
