PhD Candidate in Synthetic & Sys Biology at Harvard ||
He/Him
Absolute euphoria, my only feeling after accepting an offer for a PhD at Harvard in Systems/Synthetic Biology. Coming from dirt, raised by women unable to complete high school, working 60+ hours a week in high school, to Harvard. #IDidItMomma#BlackBoyJoy#BlackInStem#FirstGen
@patrickwebb@LeadingReport Harvard PhD candidate in Synthetic Biology here. You are wrong, and maybe keep your bigotry to yourself until you have even a rudimentary understanding of "factual biology." DM me if you want some reads to help bring you up to speed.
Some of my academic colleagues think it’s inappropriate for me as a virologist to call Trump a fascist & a bigot. Making accurate observations is a core competency for virologists so here are some more:
Racist
Misogynist
Anti-Semite
Xenophobe
Anti-LGBTQ+
Rapist
Convicted felon
Don't stop talking about Congo
Don't stop talking about Kenya
Don't stop talking about Ethiopia
Don't stop talking about Sudan
Don't stop talking about Nigeria
The Supreme Court has:
-Overturned Roe v. Wade (50+ years of precedent)
-Overturned Chevron (40 years of precedent)
-Overturned affirmative action (60+ years of precedent)
-Allowed cities to criminalize homelessness
And this is all because 1 man became president in 2016.
Incidentally if anyone's interested Macklemore's "Hind's Hall" is laid over samples from Fairuz' "Ana la habeebi wa habeebi il" (I belong to my love and my love belongs to me) which you should all listen to & which makes me cry

Greta is out with the Palestine protesters at Eurovision saying Israel should be banned from the competition due to the ongoing genocide it’s perpetrating. https://t.co/eO4LcmYZRh
Israel killed more than 35,000 people, including over 15,000 children within 7 months. More than 10,000 people are estimated to be missing under rubble. The real death toll in Gaza is over 45,000.
This is not war, this is Genocide.
Child deaths in wars:
Iraq: 3,100 in 14 years
Syria: 12,000 in 11 years
Yemen: 3,700 in 7 years
Ukraine: 520 in 21 months
Palestine: ~15,000 in 5 months.
Does the world condemn the killing of children or is it complicated when it is Middle Eastern children?
Israel committed genocide. The world saw it. South Africa took action. Even the ICJ couldn’t deny what is clear as day. The West can’t say it didn’t know. The West has been complicit. The US is shipping weapons. A lot of people have blood on their hands. We need a ceasefire now.
