For years, BDS campaigners have been demonised for opposing the occupation of Palestine.

Today, they have been vindicated by an ICJ judgment, which called on states to stop aiding Israel’s unlawful presence in Palestinian territories.

End the occupation. Free Palestine.

[Ali A Olomi @aaolomi]

South Africa took Israel to court and won! The debate is over. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) finds Israel guilty of apartheid! The Hague ruled Israel:

- is an apartheid state
- is annexing the West Bank
- is occupying Gaza

[Aavika Dhanda @AavikaD]

Tern* got a little too excited there! Haha

[Aavika Dhanda @AavikaD]

Its been one month of passing my viva and becoming a doctor. Seeing Puffins for the first time and getting attacked by Arctic turns add to the celebration :)

[dish @dishinterestedd]

it’s been great knowing you guys

[Ubadah Sabbagh @neubadah]

Folks, I have a recent grad from Gaza looking for an opportunity to work as a researcher anywhere that can accommodate him. Earned his degree in biotechnology last year (from @IUGAZA), competent in molecular biology and python. Please dm or email me for his CV and contact info.

I won’t be able to present at #ISA2024 because my US visa appt is in 2026. How many academics from the global south are forced to wait, prevented from accessing these spaces? Immobility helps define those who speak their voices in academia and those whose voices are spoken for.

Every single person I know had someone in their family or friend circles who lost their lives to Covid. How quickly we’ve forgotten.

If only actual reporters and journalists were allowed in this democracy to ask questions to our democratically elected leader.

If you have a roof over your head and a AC/fan/cooler - thank whichever higher power you believe in and be generous with giving water to people, plants, animals, birds. For as long as we can survive this.

[Tim Schwab @TimothyWSchwab]

How did Bill Gates come to secure so much political influence over public health in India? By playing politics, of course. Watch Gates gamely genuflect to Prime Minister Modi in what is, essentially, a political campaign ad.

I want to see a PhD student version of this article. The traits of a PI mentioned in this article should actually NOT be an adviser in the first place.

Let’s pay tribute to those who carry out detailed & difficult ecological field studies (often not published by the ‘top’ journals)

Which are vital to those carrying out meta-analyses (often are published by these same journals)

[Aavika Dhanda @AavikaD]

This one felt like a personal victory. @PenguiNacho is a STAR! The most honest and deserving researcher out there (with a doctorate now). We are all so proud!

[Ignacio (Nacho) Juárez @PenguiNacho]

After 5 years, I defended my PhD on the effects of Climate Change on Antarctic Penguins.

Thanks to my lab @penguin_watch, especially to my advisors Tom and Alex and my examiners Marian Dawkins and Richard Sibly. Thanks to all my friends that have been there all along!

@nilomr @WildCRU_Ox @sciencedirect Classic example of coloniser science! This should be RETRACTED!

[Aavika Dhanda @AavikaD]

A recent paper by @WildCRU_Ox folks refers to the region as "Israel and West Bank" without mentioning PALESTINE. Consider how problematic this is in light of the ongoing #GazaGenocide2023. @sciencedirect Guys, please DO BETTER!

Israel fears Palestinian children. They represent the Palestinian tomorrow and are therfore a mortal threat to the Zionist project. That is why Israel has intensionally targeted children in its genocidal war.

[WildCRU, Oxford @WildCRU_Ox]

New paper led by V. Kamanth suggests protected areas across Asian national borders offer opportunities for enhancing #habitat #connectivity. Often designated ‘multi-use’, these areas also have significant potential for community engagement in conservation.

It's a mistake to think that the only wins in the #PhD worth celebrating are the big flashy events - submission, acceptance, awards.

Here are 30 other wins in the PhD you might think are "no big deal" 🧵
