On the eve of the one-year mark since the October 7 massacre, I urge all who claim to care about Palestinians in Gaza and beyond to remember what this dark day represents for the Israeli and Jewish people. Please understand that 10/7 was an exceptionally painful day in which over 1,000 were criminally murdered and maimed; children, women, and bystanders were randomly killed, kidnapped, abused, and taken hostage; remember the trauma that this unjustified terror act has brought upon the Jewish people, making it the worst single-day attack since the Holocaust.
Do not celebrate Hamas, the despicable terror organization that has destroyed Gaza, held its people hostage, and delivered them on a silver platter to the most extremist government in Israel’s history. Do not taunt the Jewish people or boast about the supposed act of resistance, which October 7 was not. Do not harass people who are commemorating the tragedy and its victims. Please be mindful and respectful.
Be as outraged and horrified as you want to be about Gaza and the unbelievable death and destruction there. But give Israelis and Jews the space to remember their lost loved ones. The two traumas do not have to cancel each other out; they are, in fact, intertwined, and only this recognition can help us move forward.
Gaza is central to my being, identity, lived experience, and connection to the land. I care deeply about ending the war and being part of the Strip’s transformation. But that would never mean denying the horrors that Hamas and other terrorists committed on October 7.
Not in my name.
I stand with my Jewish brothers, sisters, and allies in remembering those who lost their lives on that fateful day, and pledged to always be a partner in pursuit of healing, reconciliation, justice, freedom, safety, security, and dignity for all.
So proud to share the fruit of many years of sweat and tears. My second @NatImmunol paper summarized the light we shed on #microglia in #EAE. Major thanks to @TheJungLab for the freedom of thought with the best scientific tools out there. Check it out https://t.co/O8ekcezfQB
Very excited to release this piece of work! We uncovered an interesting post-transcriptional mechanism that regulates early B cell fate decisions. All thanks to @ZivShulman, @HezroniH and the rest of the team 💪
1/n We are excited to share our study about the role of an m6A binder in B cells. Outstanding work by @Eilema and @HezroniH.
YTHDF2 suppresses the plasmablast genetic program and promotes germinal center formation https://t.co/tDv4W6PJSD
Thrilled to share our work on how bacterial infection and systemic inflammation compromise ongoing germinal center responses. For me, this project was a lesson in persistence and emphasized the power of scientific discussions. @ImmunityCP

Very grateful to finally be able to share this piece of work on the function of m6A in germinal centers. A huge thanks to all the people who helped make it happen!! @ZivShulman and a special thanks for teaching me RNA biology to @torbenheick@RiboNucleicRoss@SchragaSchwartz
Amalie Grenov @Eilema, @ZivShulman et al. describe how the m6A machinery increases the lifespan of the germinal center through m6A-binder-mediated sustained expression of proliferation- & oxidative phosphorylation-gene programs in germinal center B cells. https://t.co/0eRoDRy8N1
@Slehm Cellerne kommer oprindeligt fra et aborteret foster (information fra Science er af den pålidelige art). Jeg prøver blot at sige at fostret ikke blev aborteret for at skabe disse celler, og at celle linjer fra ét eneste foster kan bruges ca. Uendeligt fordi de deler sig
@Slehm Disse cellelinjer bliver også brugt i forskningen (jeg har selv stået med HEK293 celler utallige gange).
Derudover bruges de ikke i vacciner som Moderna og Pfizer/Biontechs fordi de er baserede på mRNA teknologi. Håber at det hjælper (:
