@mayaywind@PACBI@VersoBooks It's really sad how ignorant you are... more Palestine males and females get PhD education and high-ranked positions at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem than in other places...
@mayaywind@PACBI@VersoBooks Dear Maya I'm a professor at the Hebrew University... 3 Palestinian women finished and doing PHD in my lab ... all being paid very nice salaries and got scholarships to help them ... I'm very sad to hear what you are doing
I was reading 2023 Nobel laureate Katalin Kariko's book, Breaking Through. She was brutally honest about the academic system in US.
And, here is an example section from her book.
סופסוף מתפרסם circulation היום המאמר שלנו שמסביר מדוע גברים אלו ולא אחרים מפתחים מיוקרדיטיס בעקבות חיסון.
With the great work of Christina Canavati, Ahmad Siam, Sapir Labes, Nirit Trabelsi, Elchanan Parnasa, Barhoum Barhoum, Nur Magadle, Ofer Perzon, Maya Blum, Ora Schueler-Furman, Yuval Tabach and Orly Elpeleg, all from Hadassah Medical Center @Hadassah_MC and the faculty of Medicine of the Hebrew University, @Hujimed@HebrewU_heb, we have published today in Circulation a research paper entitled: Pathogenic variants of scavenger receptor CD36 lead to decreased efferocytosis and predispose to myocarditis following vaccination with Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 against coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Following the Authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine Israel initiated a nationwide vaccination campaign for COVID-19. the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine caused a higher incidence of myocarditis in young males (our three papers in @NEJM and Circulation). In the current study, we aimed to investigate the potential genetic predisposition to post-vaccination myocarditis. We performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) on a cohort of 16 male individuals, with a mean age of 26.5 years from three distinct ethnic groups, all of whom developed confirmed probable or definitive cases of myocarditis following their second dose of vaccination. We found likely pathogenic mutations in 50% (8/16) of the patients in the CD36, KCNQ1, TNFRSF13B, MEFV, and VCL genes. Of these mutations, 4/8 were variants located within the scavenger receptor, CD36, which is known to increase the risk of cardiomyopathy. Together with our recent paper showing HLA is important for the development of post vaccination myocarditis, it shows that genetic predisposition identifies persons with higher chances to develop post vaccination myocarditis.
What every morning feels like in Israel since Oct 7th (credit: Lior Arditi). The raindrops say "Cleared for publication:". Every day, the army notifies the families of the fallen soldiers overnight, and then their names are published in the morning. 21 names this morning :-(
A great man, dedicated to building, not destroying, to lifting up, not tearing down, to listening, not denigrating, to unifying, not dividing. A once in a generation giant, sorely missed #MLK2024#MLKDay2024
Excited to share our new paper! 📢 Christina Canavati identified key genes for rare diseases. Introducing EvORanker—an algorithm that nails down disease genes with 69% accuracy! 🧬 Dive in: https://t.co/BTXib4VGnE #Genomics#RareDiseases#EvORanker
שנת הלימודים נפתחה היום ללא כרמל גת, סטודנטית לתואר שני בריפוי בעיסוק באוניברסיטה העברית.
כרמל נחטפה מבית הוריה בשבת השחורה ומאז מוחזקת בשבי החמאס בעזה.
אנו שומרים לה כיסא בכל כיתה ומצפים בתקווה גדולה ליום שבו תשוב בריאה ושלמה לקמפוס.
“I am changed forever more [after watching the Oct 7th video], there is your context madam presidents…this is not about a territorial dispute, it’s not about oppressors and the oppressed, it’s not about religion or ideology. Any agenda that was on the table before October 6 is forever gone, conversation is over. How dare you…what is wrong with you people, you know better…who do you answer to?...If Hamas behavior does not cross the line, then you don’t have one…light always prevails over darkness & good over evil.” powerful words from @DrPhil
