On February 1, 2002, Daniel Pearl, an American-Israeli journalist, was brutally murdered by Islamic terrorists for being Jewish while pursuing a story in Pakistan. Daniel Pearl's last words were: "I am Jewish."

May his memory forever be a blessing. 🕯️
We remember his legacy as we continue to speak out against extremism in all forms, including antisemitism.

Many scientists & healthcare professionals are expressing frustration & anger at RFK Jr.’s attempts to twist scientific truths into conspiracy theories & misinformation.

Public health is not a playground for ideology. We need true scientific expertise at HHS.

“Failure is not an option.”
Great in crisis. Misleading in life.

Most growth happens because we fail…then learn, adapt, and try again.

Maybe it’s time to rethink failure.
