Maldonado et al. use in vivo tractography and post-mortem dissections to study the connections joining the pulvinar to the temporal lobe. They describe four branches, and study their functions via electrical stimulation in awake surgery. https://t.co/U9S4WVQy5B

19-year-old Shira Shohat was burned alive by Hamas on October 7th.

Just in case people start forgetting why the Israeli Army is on the ground in Gaza.

UPenn - JUST when you think things cannot possibly get even worse here, Anne Norton, distinguished Professor of Political Science:

- liked a post that stated "Playing the victim is what Jews are best at"
- shared a post calling the brutal rape of Jewish woman "alleged"
- commented how good the Hamas hostages had it

President Liz Magill must resign.
And Anne Norton must go with her.

12-year-old Liel Hatzroni, her twin brother, Yanai, and their grandfather, Avia, were all murdered by Hamas in their home in Kibbutz Be’eri.

Liel's body was so destroyed that it took 40 days and a team of forensic archaeologists to positively identify her body.

Hamas wiped out this family. May they be wiped off the face of the earth.

Gali Tarshansky is 13-years-old.

She has been in the hands of Hamas for 6 weeks now. Imagine what life has been like for this girl.

Statement on the University of Alberta Sexual Assault Centre

The recent improper and unauthorized use of the name of the University of Alberta’s Sexual Assault Centre in endorsing an open letter has raised understandable concerns from members of our community and the public. Effective immediately, the director of the centre is no longer employed by the university. The university has appointed a new interim director of the Sexual Assault Centre.

I want to be clear that the former employee’s personal views and opinions do not in any way represent those of the University of Alberta. The University of Alberta stands firmly and unequivocally against discrimination and hatred on the basis of religion, race, ethnicity, national origin, and other protected categories. We recognize the historical and ongoing harms of antisemitism and commit to doing all we can as a university to advance a world free of prejudice and discrimination. The services provided by the university, particularly those supporting the well-being and health of community members, must be open and welcoming to all individuals in our diverse community. The new leadership at the Sexual Assault Centre is committed to swiftly implementing the changes required to ensure this university commitment is upheld.

I understand that this event has been profoundly hurtful and may have compromised the trust of individuals in our community. I also recognize the significant potential negative impact given the critical nature of the centre’s work. On behalf of the university, I apologize for the hurt and distress this issue has caused members of our community and beyond. As a university, we commit to continued action to restore your trust.

Today is November 13. On October 7, Hamas committed one of the worst terrorists attacks the world has ever seen. South First Responders has released new footage of young people who were murdered at the NOVA music festival.

As time goes on, do not forget why this war started and what the “pro-Palestinian” rallies, which have not disconnected from Hamas but are flying their flag, stand for.

Extraordinary moral clarity from the British Defense Secretary here:

"If that terrorist attack a month ago had been on Britain and 1,400 Brits had lost their lives, the idea that we wouldn't pursue the terrorist organization when we knew where they were and that anyone would tell Britain that we shouldn't do that, I think would be rather improbable and extraordinary, and therefore Israel do have a right to do that."

He added "Israel are going out of their way to try and protect civilians [in Gaza]."
