"My beautiful girls, I am really proud of you." After "80 years," an Iranian woman removed her hijab in solidarity with the youth of Iran protesting for their rights in the streets.

Parliament of Iran has moved to execute all the tens of thousands of protesters arrested over the last two months. A mass execution of mostly children and the media is silent. They did this before. 1500 protesters were murdered by the regime in 2019. The world must act.#OpIran‌

Providing trainees with higher wages and more benefits/support for childcare IS critical for making academic training possible for individuals who come for historically excluded backgrounds. And we need political and taxpayer support to accomplish this goal.

This is horrifying. The Iranian parliament votes overwhelmingly (227-63) to execute the 15,000 protesters they already arrested. These were peaceful protestors simply seeking the right to basic justice and autonomy. Unacceptable and barbaric. newsweek.com/iran-votes-exe…

I stand in strong solidarity with the 48,000 academic workers at the University of California who are on strike for higher wages, better child care benefits, and expanded paid leave.

Check out the phenomenal work led by my colleague Matt Johnson (Matt)! 👏🏻👏🏻 He performs an elegant bioinformatic network analysis to identify new anti-phage defense hotspots 🔥 governed by the presence of core host genes. Check out his thread + paper to learn more!

University of California can PIs stop having tuition taken out of our lab budget and sent to an amorphous pot of money? Let's give it straight to students? Most faculty here have no idea why this happens.

Katie Porter said #FairUCNow everybody better listen or we’ll bring out the whiteboards

@jallepap My (naive) take (which some folks share) on this is I’d much rather give the tuition money to augment my student salary than to pay the university for the privilege of mentoring that same student in my own lab.

Tell me why UC refuses to bargain when we are the ones recruiting students! When the top students in the country interview here and ask us about this, what shall we say? “No, don’t come here, go to a Private School they pay you better?” University of California

This is your reminder that Gavin Newsom is still silent about the UAW UC academic worker strike, the largest strike in the country this year. Gavin Newsom where do you stand?

Felt this in my soul today when my kid had a nosebleed, a tantrum, and hit himself in the eye with the phone…all while we were at the doctor’s office. 🙃

To my friends who will be evaluating grad school applicants for your programs: a less than perfect but still very good GPA achieved while working full time during college may in fact be more impressive than most perfect GPAs from folks who didn’t have to.

Join us in Paris on April 8th-10th for the 2025 Symposium on the Immune System of Bacteria 🥖🍷🦠🧬. Excited to welcome these amazing speakers at Institut Pasteur, since 1887 . Registration will open beginning of November. Abstract deadline February 28. Stay tuned.

Did you know that bacteria remember their past for many generations? In this new preprint from us (Alexis Villani and Senen Mendoza) and Banin lab (Esther Shmidov ), we reveal the "how?" and "why?" underlying a long-standing mystery in bacterial memory. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
