Our recent study trying to dive into the process of drought recovery in Arabidopsis has uncovered new insights into the molecular response of plants to rehydration -> 80% of drought-responsive genes return to normal levels within 15-60 minutes of rehydration. 1/
I completely understand the backlash over this decision. However I think freedom of speech should have (some, very few) limits as well. You wouldn’t appreciate an EIC making a joke during the BLM protests, I don’t think. And this is a hundred times worse. Thank you

A sea slug that can do photosynthesis just like a plant! It takes genes from the algae it eats to perform photosynthesis and thus get all the energy it needs from sunlight, allowing it to survive without food for months! Clever eh?

Being a Jew doesn’t make it better. Israel reopened fresh water and no one has died from the pressure they put to try to get Hamas out of their holes. You call this inhumane? But he didn’t call raping women inhumane, cutting body parts of children inhumane. Curious.

Don’t worry about me. The

has my back. NOT. After telling a person that told me on behalf of the Salk’s president that they will not issue a statement that I don’t feel safe. No one has followed up to make sure I do. Except my friends and colleagues there.
@imshin
Arn’t Palestinians fed up with Hamas? And just want to live peacefully in Gaza? Why don’t we hear more of them wanting Hamas gone? Why does the world think Hamas would do anything for the people’s benefit?
I have to say that the support and compassion I’ve received from friends and colleagues here abroad is heartwarming. In a time where nothing can make our reality better, knowing you see us and feel our pain means so much. Thank you 🙏🏻💔

Hi
@mbeisen
you should be extremely concerned about Hamas preventing people from leaving their houses so they can get killed and you can talk about humanitarian aid. I as an Israeli am. Also my parents are evacuated from their house since Sunday. They prefer to be alive.
Growing up, I could never imagine I’d be considered by some as a scientist. I majored filmmaking in high school. Unfortunately I don’t even remember my science teachers. There was no close role model to make me even consider science as a path.

Jews this week have had to do 2 things simultaneously: process the horrors of the attack and deal with anti-Israel/antisemitic sentiments plus the painful silence of most folks. It's been difficult but also frees us from any illusions we might have had on our status in the world

The handmaids are marching to protest the government's attempt to turn us into a religious dictatorship. No compromise until we bring them down and separate state from religion in Israel.
This is not an “escalating violence”, this is a terror slaughter!!!
@UCSanDiego
I hope you will change this insulting message and unequivocally condemn Hamas terrorists and stand with the Israeli people!

So a man arrived at the Palestine protest in London carrying a “Hamas are terrorists” sign and was attacked for doing so.
If this protest was as “peaceful” as

The people of Israel are fighting hard to maintain a democratic and liberal place to live in. All I can do from here is appreciate the effort and send my love and support!
The road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is a tough one, especially at 38C 🥵. But the people of Israel are not easy to break! Like in the old days a "pilgrimage to Jerusalem"- thousands walking for democracy ✊ These are very difficult days for us, but I've never been so proud!
@ItaiYanai
Me too. In addition, I don’t see anyone worried about Israelis leaving there homes in areas bombed by Hamas throughout the conflict. Never a word, which is a bit odd. My parents and friends were evacuated from the north, they just prefer to live.

I’m sorry 2. As an Israeli. They are horrible in many ways. But in this regards I can say that even the government goal is not and never was to kill Palestinians. They do aim to wipe Hamas out specifically.

No one has called any other Arabs, Hamas. If they feel unsafe it’s only because they themselves decided to see themselves as Hamas. Which can be easily fixed, by them.

We have identified a novel mechanism we called "Drought Recovery Induced Immunity" (DRII). DRII was found to be cell-type specific and appears solely in mesophyll, epidermal and trichome cell sub-populations immediately upon rehydration. 3/
Still working on having my Arabidopsis plants look pretty and healthy as this guy on the right. But seriously, what a nice summary about plant defense mechanisms 👇🏼
@OdedRechavi
So true. I don’t even know how to start to explain. And am torn between the world should know to no one deserves to hear / see /experience such horrors
We had a beautiful hypothesis about how auxin triggers root regeneration. It flows down from the stele and because it can't flow back when you cut the root it forms a new auxin peak. A simple and beautiful self-repair mechanism. The only problem was that it was wrong...
I am not going to ask anyone for any support any longer. If you choose to stay silent, and not condemn pure evil, that’s on you, sleep well. I hope this will never, ever, happen to your people, and when it does I hope you’re not alone.

We discovered that rehydration after drought induces the expression of thousands of recovery-specific genes, many of which are associated with the plant's immune system. Suggesting that early stages of rehydration play a critical role in protecting plants from pathogens. 2/

I want to scream, then through up then scream and I don’t know what else to do. If you put out a symmetrical statement between Hamas and Israel you are a criminal. NEVER could there be symmetry here!

בתור פוסטית בארה״ב, ששבורה לחתיכות כרגע, כמו כולנו אני מניחה, אני חושבת שאקדמית/ מדעית לצאת החוצה, להרחיב אופקים, ללמוד גישות שונות של איך לעשות מדע זה דבר חיובי שמקדם אותנו. זה לצאת מאזור הנוחות. והקשרים גם לצערי חשובים, אנחנו במקצוע בינלאומי ולא יכולים (ממש לצערי) להשאר בבועה.
