One of the oldest and most prestigious medical research and public health centers in the Middle East was targeted in Israeli attacks on Tehran. The Pasteur Institute led successful national campaigns against smallpox, cholera, and plague in Iran over the decades.

The leader of the “free world” and “peace president” is gleefully threatening to commit a war crime that could destroy an entire region and its people while the rest of the world is numb/afraid or both…

[Andrew Feinberg @AndrewFeinberg]

Attacking civilian infrastructure such as a power grid can be charged as a war crime.

[Emerson T. Brooking @etbrooking]

It should be said—loudly, by many people—that the indiscriminate destruction of civilian infrastructure is a war crime. There is no way around this.

تصاویری از آسیب بمباران‌ به #کاخ_گلستان

در اثر حمله مشترک آمریکا و اسرائیل به میدان ارگ در خیابان پانزده خرداد تهران، بخش‌هایی از کاخ گلستان، میراث جهانی یونسکو آسیب دید.
وزیر میراث‌فرهنگی بمباران کاخ گلستان را نشانه آشکار نقض قواعد بین‌المللی و بی‌اعتنایی دانست.

Very happy to see this work is published! 😊 interesting consequence of #hybridisation in non-model organisms

Contemporary hybridization among Arabis floodplain species creates opportunities for adaptation

- Strong #meiotic_drive favors A. sagittata alleles & strong force shaping gene flow.

- A major flowering-time QTL maps to #TFL1, hinting at ongoing adaptive introgression.

👉 Hybrids can succeed ecologically.

A huge thank you to my co-authors for their contributions!

New #preprint‼️
We (@MeauxJuliette) explored #hybridization in floodplain #Arabis species and found:

- Hybrid defects? Genetically simple, not a big deal.

- Nearly half of adaptive QTLs are not linked to defects.

Being Iranian in this world is incredibly hard. In reality, you have no rights. The world ignores you, the so-called flag-bearers of democracy, freedom, and peace take your life, and your own government doesn’t hear your voice. I’m going through the hardest days of my life…

8 countries, 1 photo 📷

A @Space_Station astronaut took this photo of the Persian Gulf on Sept. 26, 2023. The Gulf forms part of the border for eight countries: Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.

"Happy Nowruz! March 20th, 2025, marks the Persian New Year, a 3000-year-old celebration of spring—light over darkness. With Haft-Sin and Sizdah-Bedar, I hope I shared Iran’s wildflower beauty last year. To a joyful 1404!
