In 2020, I interviewed Kwame Anthony Appiah for Fair Observer, and it was an in-depth conversation I never forgot. "Immigrants, wherever they come from, provide, on average, a net gain to the United States economy." 2/2

Feb. 11 marked the #WomenInScience day. Many children's books have been written about the late Maryam Mirzakhani, the first female recipient of the Fields Medal, a @Stanford professor and @Harvard graduate. "Maryam's Magic" by Megan Reid is a great read!

This has been the Wikified wisdom for quite a while--and up for debate. Depending on which criteria you use to identify the "oldest" country, the answer can range from #SanMarino to #Egypt. But #Iran's date of formation as a continuously sovereign state precedes other nations.

If I didn't know when this @ForeignAffairs piece by Elliott Abrams was run, I'd have said it was dated 2005. That after decades, there's no sign of innovation in a senior GOP advisor's blueprint for MENA peace means the region is still gravely misconstrued

At the 46th anniversary of #Iran's 1979 revolution in Tehran, the remarks by @drpezeshkian were not those of a cardiac surgeon who has done medical training abroad. They were the sloganeering of an ideologue rehashing platitudes that don't make sense to the 21st century Iranian
