12,193 children killed in Gaza in 4 months, more than killed in 4 years of conflict in the entire world, according to the UN. More in FOUR MONTHS in Gaza than the ENTIRE WORLD in FOUR YEARS… let that sink in for a minute… leparisien.fr/international/…

My amazing postdoc mentor Hugo Bellen receiving the much deserved Gruber prize in genetics ❤️🧬at #TAGC24

A beautiful and inspiring keynote speech at the 2024 TAGC by Beronda L. Montgomery—🌿#LessonsFromPlants🌿 on how lessons learned from research on light induced developmental programs in plants apply to notions of equity and equality in human society. An excellent scientist and inspiring speaker and thinker.

Another gem from the Hiesinger lab👇🏽

Haaretz has published (in Hebrew, not English) an incomprehensibly vile article in the style of a LIFESTYLE COOKING FEATURE, about Israel's soldiers finding and cooking with ingredients in the kitchens of Gazans who had to flee their homes and are now starving.

An exciting discovery with potentially profound implications

Scientists’ Declaration Against Genocide and in Support of Palestine. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

“The epitome of the Israeli center doesn't even have an ounce of sympathy for the amputee children shown in the courageous, horrific report of Clarissa Ward from a Rafah hospital.”

Our symposium has come to an end (😕) and we are really thankful for everyone who contributed to and participated in the symposium! It was amazing! 🩷

We hope you learned, connected and enjoyed as much as we did and we also hope to see everyone again in the future! Thank you!

This convention against War and the Destructive Use of Science adopted this final declaration against Israel's genocide, occupation, and apartheid. Scientists and medical professionals, please sign! please share widely!
