The latest posts from Motaz, Bisan, Ismail Jood and more Palestinian journalists are heartbreaking. They have lost any hope of surviving.
They have done everything they could just to share what's happening with us while trying to survive a genocide. I have no words.

The moral courage and clarity to take this position after losing your parents to Hamas terror is extraordinary, and wholly absent in some of the overheated discussions taking place far away from Gaza
Literally jumping up and down in the street on my lunch walk for @ashleyjamesart!!
I’ll spare you the college Facebook photos circa 2005, but she is one of the people I’ve known and admired longest in my life and her brilliance is unmatched. So happy the world gets to see it!!!

Proud to have worked on this episode of @LostWomenofSci -- Dr. Sarah Loguen Fraser, the child of abolitionists, went to medical school during the promise of Reconstruction, and became the first woman licensed to practice medicine in the Dominican Republic.
See this striking tintype portrait. @NMAAHC, which houses this photo, thinks this is probably Sarah Loguen Fraser, one of the first Black women to earn a medical license in the US. Hear her story in our latest episode.
