British police have arrested hundreds of protestors for holding up signs saying “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” But they have arrested zero — zero — dual nationals who have participated in the actual genocide.

No mention of who is starving people to death, but makes sure to say “Hamas-run health ministry” to cast doubt on them. As British police arrest people for protesting against a genocide, British media whitewashes it, all while boasting about “Western values.”

Found a nice and short primer (14 pages) on the Dirac Equation, which has been made publicly available by the University of Warwick. Sadly, I cannot find the author's name! 🔗👇👇👇👇

Looks like a good case for the Supreme Court to take suo moto cognizanze. Of course, if the EC had an ounce of moral fibre, they would resign immediately for producing this clap-trap.

Why should political parties have to inform the individual - dont individuals have a direct relation with the state as citizens, and have a right to know why they have been excluded?

That most amazing of scientists, J C Maxwell! On par with Newton, Einstein and Heisenberg in changing the way we think about the physical world.

The idea that someone would “pose” as a journalist by doing live reporting all day, every day, for two straight years — but is actually secretly a terrorist (when??) — is so stupid it demonstrates how much power Israel believes it has. Their excuse for assassinating a world

It's a simple straightforward issue...a public office has a duty to hear grievances, examine them and redress them. This is the essence of accountable governance. How then does EC refuse to listen to the grievances of 300 MPs? If MPs cannot be heard what of an ordinary citizen.

Professor Padmanabhan Babu has—in his quiet and understated manner—had an important impact on developmental biology, only one aspect of which was the isolation of the lin-4 mutant allele (e912), highlighted below in the post by Richard Behringer Richard Behringer and the Society of

Hi Randhir Jaiswal - since when has it become ok for the Ambassador of ANY country to publicly comment on a sitting MP of India? Especially in this language? Maybe 🇮🇱 Reuven Azar forgets that he's not talking to American politicians who put Israel before their own nation. Whatever our

My article - on how three Environment ministers between 2009-14 intervened in the debate over #GMcrops - is out in the Annals of American Association of Geographers. It provides a rare ethnography of the politics of expertise at the interface between senior bureaucrats and the union cabinet of ministers.

"There’s no question that what you are describing is a war crime. There’s no question in my mind, either, that it is so systematic that it’s likely also to be a crime against humanity in the conception of international law." When Is It Genocide? nytimes.com/2025/08/13/opi…

Simply the most important development in democratising the practice of science - within at least the past century, maybe more.

"...it speaks for the “New Indian”, motivated by malice and malevolence, inspired by a prevailing inhumanity that is a social norm in today’s India, built on such fragile foundations of newly acquired wealth, that they must place a distance between themselves and grinding

A genome is not a one-dimensional object. It is dynamic and quickly-changing, not only in TIME but also in SPACE. A new paper, published in Nature, reports the 3D structure of the E. coli genome. The whole thing was mapped with a resolution of 10 base pairs; enough to clearly

I’m excited to share our new nature paper 📝, which provides strong evidence that the walkability of our built environment matters a great deal to our physical activity and health. Details in thread.🧵 nature.com/articles/s4158…
