Thrilled to share a new approach to viral diagnostics using mechanical transduction. Here we use DNA motors to "feel" viruses -with sensitivity down to the single virus level. @Selma_Pi @salaitalab @EmoryChem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

We're in the 40th day of one of the most influential revolutions in history. When the Islamic Republic falls, from Iran to Ukraine, the world will become a better place to live in. The world must cut ties with IR and support the Iranians in every way possible. #MahsaAmini

‘I could not keep silent’: Iranian physicist resigns to join protests

Nature - Iranian cosmologist Encieh Erfani tells Nature that protesting students are shaming the professors who refuse to speak out.

If you're a professor or a student in STEM in a Western country, you probably know someone from the Sharif University of Technology in Iran. They might have be your students, peers, or friends. That university is now under attack by the Islamic Republic. 🧵(1/16) #MahsaAmini

Those who see this as a western coup (which has and do occur sometimes) need to see these and understand that these are real people, not paid stooges. We (the US&UK) DID pay stooges in 1953 to overthrow Iranian democracy. This ain’t that…even if this dovetails with US interests.

Roozbeh Khademi, 32, was shot and killed last night in Fardis, southern Alborz province. In his last Instagram post (seen below) he wrote: "You stand behind... I will give my life for your freedom," referring to Iranian women. 💔 #Mahsa_Amini

Global science must stand up for Iran’s imprisoned scholars

Nature - Iranian researchers are at risk as never before. Governments are urging quiet diplomacy. But a new book shows why public campaigns matter.
