A few weeks ago, I was honored to speak at the Prostate Cancer Foundation's 30th annual scientific retreat. PCF is the most impressive group of scientists and clinicians focused on curing Prostate Cancer. The amount of progress and innovation is promising and fills us with hope.
MUST WATCH: Really important report on CNN about the brutal violence by pro-Israel mobs against anti-war activists, as well as the police's unwillingness to intervene or do anything about the crimes they committed in front of them and on tape:
Students all over Sweden are today joining the global student uprisings and are now occupying universities in Sweden, against the genocide in Palestine, for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation. 🧵1/5
It’s been 2 years since my aunt #ShireenAbuAkleh was killed by an Israeli soldier and life has not been the same since. No one has been held accountable & the U.S. has failed our family in holding the killer responsible.
#JusticeforShireen.
For five days, almost no humanitarian aid has gotten into Gaza. Israel's military operation in Rafah has closed both main border crossings.
No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel.
Children are starving.
The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in this humanitarian disaster.
May 10, 2024 Update. Below we share important and detailed update on stats of killed or abducted healthcare workers in the Occupied Palestinian Territories since October 7, 2023 .1 🧵
A Jewish student at a Palestinian encampment told me today that a man (she identified as Jewish) came over and told her that she did not know what she was talking about and that he hoped that she would rot in hell. she responded "Well we don't have a hell, so there's that"
Just as Trump's racist rhetoric fueled anti-Asian violence, Biden's despicable lie that anti-war protesters are "anti-semitic" has fueled violence against peaceful protesters.
At UCLA last night, the violence came from those supporting Biden's Israel-Gaza policy.
#CeasefireNOW
If there's an encampment movement in your city, GO & support it in person! Take a friend and some food.
Even if you are on the other side, it is important to go and see that the mainstream media is lying about what's happening. The young generation is inspiring.
#CeasefireNOW
@jflier@Yale The students are doing something worthy of admiration. They are beaten, harassed, demonized, and threatened. Yet they keep it up. They know the consequences. It is a price worth paying to stop this genocide. The world has forgotten what it means to stand up for an ideal.
@LifeSciVC Very interesting analysis. It's not crazy to think that in 5-7 years the supply/demand dynamics will be in favor of biotechs with winning assets
The young generation in America embody hope that maybe, just maybe, the future does not have to be dystopian. If there is an encampment in your city go out and support!
The young generation’s uprising in American Universities against genocide in Palestine resembles the protests against the war in Vietnam and the Anti Apartheid movement , it will spread to other universities in the world and it is remarkable that many Jewish faculty and students participate in it proving that anti Israeli actions are not anti Semitic. It is strange that some main stream media is ignoring these historic events.
We are now closer to a regional war than ever before.
All of this could have been prevented had Biden forced a ceasefire in Gaza months ago.
He was far too accepting of the evaluation risk, and here we are...

@paulg Thank you @paulg for your courage. What's happening is an insult to humanity. I would emphasize 'AT LEAST'. There are over a thousand children still missing (probably dead under the rubble) and thousands that are alive today but won't be when this is over.
Also, it is hard to see how the FTC action against $HZNP relates to $SGEN. Thyroid eye disease and gout are not Oncology (the most active area in drug development)
