"Western governments possess a range of tools to compel Israel to halt its genocidal aggression and permit humanitarian and medical assistance, but they choose not to use them."

The UK's recognition of Palestine is a joke and plain theatre. Let's not even mention it being conditional, 147 out of the 193 UN members already recognise Palestine, has this stopped the genocide? Israel must be sanctioned.

When Britain participates in ethnic cleansing abroad, it becomes incredibly important for us to hold the government accountable. It's a moral obligation. It also massively affects our lives in the UK. Millions of pounds get channeled away from those in need to a foreign genocide.

Submitted my PhD. Overwhelmed with gratitude.

[ADAM @AdameMedia]

This is one of the worst crimes in the history of mankind euphorically caught on camera.

They sent aid trucks to lure out the starving and then opened fire with machine guns and tanks while filming and making fun of it.

What kind of society does this?

Laboratories around the world are estimated to contribute over 5.5 MILLION tons of plastic annually, about 1.8% of all plastic produced worldwide. https://t.co/7rtEqYpP5Q

Excited to see out in @Nature my postdoc work! “Membrane prewetting by #condensates promotes tight junction belt formation” How do #tightjunctions form a belt in #epithelia sealing our body cavities? @Honigmann_Lab @mpicbg @BIOTEC_TUD w/ #Jülicher @mpi_pks

@LukensJohnR @ImmunityCP One of the coolest, and lesser studied, areas of biology is the effect of mechanical forces on molecular cell dynamics. This is incredible

Yesterday @Cambridge_Uni released a statement responding to the demands of our encampment after weeks of negotiations.

Read our response below, and find the full statement here: https://t.co/dwKJPIcOHx

[Cambridge for Palestine @cam4palestine]

Graduating students across various colleges proudly dropped flags and keffiyehs at their ceremonies, calling for a free Palestine and demanding their colleges divest from the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

We will not stop, we will not rest!

Are you telling me that blanket anti-immigration policies will inadvertently drive away talent from a country already struggling to build a functioning economy? Shocking

A super rare moment in science where an experiment so works so beautifully. I just want to save this plate forever.

@EmporiumThought Reminds me of an amazing postdoc from @LabListon using washing detergent to permeabilise cells for flow cytometry. Some times the solution is in our kitchen!

I spent twenty years growing vegetables commercially for the good people of this country.  The weather got exponentially worse, e.g., 7 weeks of rain everyday; 12 weeks with no rain, and so on. I know what is going to happen - not because of these particularly bad years, but because of the speed at which things are getting worse now.

The reason is obvious - we are standing by and letting the elites put carbon into the air between 8 and 30 times faster than at any time in the last four billion years of this planet's history.

So what is going to happen to the good people of this country? If you are still asking that question you just haven't yet understood what is going on here.

Macrophages sporting 🍉colours.
Can you guess the markers for each colour?

Hint: white is the more constitutively expressed marker.
