Excited to share my recent Advanced Materials paper: Antibacterial Gel Coatings Inspired by the Cryptic Function of a Mussel Byssal Peptide https://t.co/y77tg962bm.
Thank you, @Joel_Peptides, for all your support along the way! @Wiley_Chemistry,@AdvSciNews, @theNCI,@NIH

I am happy to share that the Fichman lab received the MOST grant to develop gel scaffolds for cultivated meat production. Searching for talented and motivated PhD students or postdocs with a background in peptide chemistry/drug delivery/biomaterials. [email protected]
My brilliant PhD student Nufar, whose brother is a hostage in Gaza for over 80 days. Nothing prepared me to being a mentor under such a scenario. How can we even continue research in the lab?? Please help her, help us, spread this heart-breaking humanitarian call.
Over 2 months ago, Hamas released a propaganda video of their terrorists holding Israeli infants. This video is still widely shared by their supporters as proof of how well Hamas treats hostages.
The infants were 4.5 months old Eshel and 4-year-old Negev.
What that video fails to convey is that their mother, Adi Vital-Kaploun, had just been shot dead by these same men, in front of her babies.
Also unseen in the video were the children's injuries, as they had been wounded by shrapnel during the attacks.
As Hamas men dragged them Gaza, Negev continually cried in pain and fear, begging the strange men to let him go. Eventually, the terrorists grew tired of the crying and decided it wasn't worth it.
Hamas men simply left Eshel, Negev, and their adult neighbor Avital on the roadside to fend for themselves.
Avital scooped them up and heroically managed to get them back to Israel.
Back in Israel, the family would be reunited with the two little ones.
Adiโs body was eventually found in her home closet, and it had been rigged with booby traps.
May her memory be a blessing.
Many people are wondering about whatโs happening on U.S. campuses.
While I canโt speak about all other college campuses, I can definitely give you an insiderโs view about @Columbia University.
(this thread may be a bit long, but trust me: it's worth it)
One of the most powerful monologues you will hear about the atrocities that Hamas perpetrated on Oct 7.
Thank you @ChrisCuomo for your raw honesty and truth, and for sharing this with your viewers!

Our statement on Harvardโs refusal to remove President Gay:
โJust as President Claudine Gay failed to protect her students from rampant antisemitism, the Harvard Corporation has failed to hold her accountable. Despite its begrudging and belated apologies, Harvard richly deserves the Congressional investigation to which it is currently subject, having lost all credibility on matters of antisemitism.
The Corporation's decision serves only to greenlight more Jew-hatred on campus.
StopAntisemitism continues to call for President Gay's resignation, and urges the Corporation to reconsider its decision and hire someone who is committed to protecting every Harvard student.โ
"Intifada, intifada, long live the intifada!"
@Columbia has two choices:
(1) Expel organizations that explicitly call for violence against Jews and Israelis
(2) Show the world it can't/won't enforce its own rules (and face legal consequences for unequal enforcement)
This is an excellent summary of the serious legal and fiduciary implications to @Penn, @Harvard and @MIT of their presidentsโ failed leadership, and why Gayโs and Kornbluthโs continued employment creates substantial additional risk for Harvard and MIT.
In sum, by continuing to employ Gay and Kornbluth, both Harvard and MIT are continuing to endorse managementsโ conduct and previous actions, deepening the universitiesโ liability.
In a corporate context, all three would have been dismissed within minutes of an emergency meeting of the boards. For now, only Penn has acted decisively.
Non-profit boards are often slow to act because they donโt have feedback from a massive stock drop and angry shareholders screaming at the directors. That said, the alumni are certainly screaming and they are shorting their donations.
The proverbial stock prices of Harvard and MIT have dropped more than 50% since the October 6th close, while @Pennโs has bounced 20% off the lows based on todayโs news, but is still down 40%.
Pennโs recovery will depend on whether and how its board is refreshed, who they choose as their next president, and whether they make necessary fundamental changes to the institution.
The same holds true for the others.
โMy reponsibilty is to make sure my kids are safe and on the seventh of October I couldnโt do that.โ

I am a #MomToo and I just canโt imagine what Meirav is going through.
