What an amazing meeting I've just been at! Excellent science and great souls! ADHERE2, the place where Adhesion experts meet and discuss their excellent science and also go for the coolest boat trip where the brave ones jump to the water in the middle of the Agean sea (and the

A scientific giant and guiding light. David made just as much impact via his institutional leadership of national scientific policy as he did with his Nobel-winning discovery of reverse transcriptase. I treasure our conversations and his wisdom. RIP https://t.co/tZW9nJA1Ud

He was only 37 when he made a discovery that challenged the existing tenets of biology and led to an understanding of retroviruses and viruses, including H.I.V.

OPINION: Antisemitism doesn’t start with violence. It starts with words, slogans, and silence. "By the time it’s obvious, it’s already everywhere. And then it’s not an opinion, it’s a regime". https://t.co/GjBUdrrB1T

As antisemitic rhetoric spreads with alarming ease, experts warn of the dangerous consequences of normalized hate.

When Shanduo Chen joined my lab three years ago, he could barely speak English and had little prior experience with genes and proteins. But he was determined, hardworking, and had the rare combination of a critical mind and deep curiosity. Over time, he learned to communicate

יש משהו סמלי מאוד שהמלחמה הנוראית הזו, הגרועה שבמלחמות ישראל מאז העצמאות, התחילה ונגמרת עם הפלשתינאים ועוד אלה שמעולם לא היו תחת שלטון מלא של מדינה אחרת עם אזרחות אחרת. אמרו שזה לא באמת הם, אלא החיזבאללה. אמרו שהם לא מי שצריך לדאוג לגביו, אלא ראש הנחש איראן. בסוף, חוזרים לאיפה

זה המחיר וצריך לדעת אותו. תהיו איתי רגע: זו תמונה של ים פריד ז"ל שנפל בעזה לפני חודשיים עם רעי בירן ז"ל שנפל הלילה והיה המפק"צ שלו. התמונה מטקס סיום המסלול ב-09.03.25, משמע - ים התגייס בערך במרץ 24, רעי בערך במרץ 22. וזה אומר: מאז תחילת המלחמה לוחמים מתגייסים, מסיימים מסלול
