Saudi reforms for women have had a big impact on the world of Islam. As the previous upholder of ultra orthodoxy #MBS ’s dramatic changes have sent a powerful signal that has undermined Uber conservatives across the region like the Mullahs in Iran ‼️

The WissZeitVG proposed reforms would change the maximum time that a postdoc is allowed to be a contract in Germany from a total time of 6 years to 3 years. This is absolutely insane. More stress, more precarious working conditions, and worse research. #ichbinhanna

My latest for @ForeignPolicy : US is the prime culprit for the current nuclear impasse w/ Iran. US reneged on #JCPOA commitments, not Iran. But Raisi admin's dysfunctional diplomatic approach is also to blame. Hope for nuclear deal revival is dwindling, but not all hope is lost:
