"For a long time, I thought becoming a scientist meant learning how to appear certain, composed, and knowledgeable. But the people I came to admire have held on to their willingness to ask questions and to be excited by what they did not yet know." #ScienceWorkingLife https://t.co/VJGYYY1FMX
Israel, as the occupying Power, has clear obligations.
It must ensure the provision of food, water, medicine, and other essentials.
It must agree to and facilitate far greater humanitarian access.
It must protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.
And it must end the destruction of that which is indispensable for the survival of the civilian population in Gaza.
I appeal once again for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, unfettered humanitarian access across Gaza, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.
No more excuses. No more obstacles. No more lies.
Mohamed Aziz, a 72-year-old bookseller, living in Rabat, Morocco, spends 6 to 8 hours a day reading books.

Most of the heavy rain in Pakistan is associated with the summer monsoon pattern over the region.
But exceptional rainfall rates have made this season a “monsoon on steroids,” said António Guterres, secretary general of the United Nations. https://t.co/pNk5ngtIUW
Leaving out seasonality from models of ocean-terminating glaciers can bias projections!
In our new paper, we model a glacier that flows into the ocean in two ways. First, we force the terminus to retreat and wiggle back and forth seasonally, just like real glaciers.
