We had a great time yesterday with my lab (missed some members), observing these giant mammals in their natural environment (#Gloucester). We were lucky to see six #whales in a group (see the video). It made me think about the beauty of ocean, our diversity & their evolution.

The Israeli rights group B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم has published a major new report documenting torture and rape of Palestinian prisoners inside Israeli prisons. The abuse is "systemic, ongoing and state-sanctioned," says spokesperson Sarit Michaeli.

It was a great pleasure speaking with NPR 's All Things Considered about our viral insulin project.

"Amnesty International also reiterates its calls for the U.S. government to immediately suspend all weapons sales and transfers to the Israeli government and for the implementation of an immediate and permanent ceasefire.”

The Biden administration’s approval of a $20bn weapons package to Israel is a disgrace. Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip remain at risk of genocide amid ongoing intense Israeli military attacks. Nowhere is safe in Gaza. We need a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel now!

There is a correlation between the demonization of migrants and white supremacy though…

It’s frustrating to see that one of our gut-microbiome articles, submitted to an ASM journal, has finally been sent out for review after a 2-month wait. 2 MONTHS! I’m quite surprised since we were told that they couldn’t find an editor to assign it to reviewers.

This is devastating news for Palestinian children and all children in the region: "A baby in Gaza has been partially paralyzed from polio, marking the territory’s first case in 25 years." We must end this #genocide and secure a permanent #ceasefire now! theguardian.com/world/article/…

Such a sad and infuriating déjà vu of tragedies, all for the sake of #gun profits! A senseless violence happening again&again! "several local media outlets, citing a law enforcement source at the scene, reported at least four deaths and about 30 injuries." theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

The Israeli military’s campaign to significantly expand a “buffer zone” along the eastern perimeter of #Gaza should be investigated as the war crimes of wanton destruction and collective punishment. Read @Amnesty’s new investigation here: amn.st/6019m4i6l

When a US citizen is killed by Hamas, you will hear Biden and Harris vehemently denouncing the evil of the killers. There will be no such speech denouncing Israel after its soldiers murdered Aysenur Ezgi Eygi.

Listen to three activists who were with U.S. citizen Aysenur Eygi when an Israeli sniper shot her dead:

The #polio vaccination campaign in south #Gaza has concluded with over 446,000 children being vaccinated since the start of the campaign on 1st September. Five health facilities will continue offering polio vaccination to make sure no child is missed. We are grateful to the

This is the unconscious mindset of white racists. While they clearly harbor hatred toward Black people, white supremacists have never forgotten the pain and threat posed by the first successful revolution of enslaved people against their oppressors: the Haitian Revolution of 1791
