I interviewed a suspended Columbia student protester - facing a criminal record and potential expulsion, she's not worried. "If Columbia keeps taking the stand it does then I’m not sure there’s a lot this university can teach me” thetimes.co.uk/article/gaza-p…

These are Mark 84 bombs: 13 feet long 2,000 pound missiles that the U.S. gives Israel. Hundreds of these weapons have been dropped on Palestinians in Gaza. And, whether directly or indirectly, Harvard is complicit in this bloody exchange. To visualize the scale of these

It feels so surreal to share; it has been a dream of mine to become a Professor at a four-year university. I’m excited to teach physics and astronomy to the next generation of scientists and engineers, and I hope I can help first generation minority students see themselves as one

Senator Sanders: “When we talk about college campuses, I want everybody to know there are no protests on college campuses in Gaza. You know why? Because every one of the 12 universities in Gaza has been bombed and destroyed.”

Check out an article I wrote about the research paper my team published earlier this year! My first time writing an article quite like this. I would love to know what you all think about a planet that's leaking its atmosphere theconversation.com/exoplanet-wasp… via The Conversation U.S.

Hearing Jose Hernandez at ModestoJuniorCollege in high school was a turning point in my life. His story, reflecting my family's hard work as farm workers, lit a fire in me. Today, being addressed as Dr. Villafaña by the man who inspired my academic path is a moment I'll always treasure. 💫
