Who is “we”? I’m thrilled to be here with many Jews at MIT, and can’t wait to celebrate Passover here tomorrow!

And, it’s happened. The anti-Israel, pro-terrorist encampment is now up at @MIT . We are afraid to go near.

The pro-terror encampment is adjacent to the @MIT Hillel building. Instead of getting rid of the encampment and/or ensuring our safety, they are moving the Jews to another location so that we can celebrate Passover safely tonight. This is crazy! (New location removed for

Are you a biophysicist? Do you teach physics to biology students? If so, check out some of my work that I'm excited to share! Interdisciplinary intro physics classes improve biology students' physics/quantitative abilities even two years after the course!

Just to be clear: This was a joke in response to recent events and we did not actually order any cats (alive or dead). @ShorterLab is a wonderful biochemistry lab and we will get much more use out of the tubes!

Horrified by Israel’s actions and dismayed by their own administrations, students are protesting on campuses across the country. @HadasThier looks at the actions of university admins and how students are reacting.

Yale has announced an across-the-board raise for postdocs, with salaries for 1st year postdocs starting at $65,000. Plus, the administration is giving PIs extra funding (for one year) to cover funding gaps due to the new policy. Seems like a good step!
