I'm excited to share that we are embarking on a new scientific adventure with @BennyChefetz, Evyatar Ben Mordechay, and Moshe Shenker. We’re grateful to BSF @usisraelbsf for their support and excited to deepen the collaboration between @UCSF and @HebrewU through this research.

3 years later, it is incredibly bizarre that people will deny the atrocities that Hamas did on October 7th, despite the fact that Hamas terrorists put up videos of their atrocities.

The world demonizes Israel 365 days a year.
Perhaps, for just one day—October 7th—the critics of Israel could take a vacation from their hysterical hatred of the world’s only Jewish State and find it within themselves to express condolences for the thousands of Israelis murdered, maimed, mutilated, raped, and abducted at the hands of Hamas.

The relentless demonization of Israel and Israelis has consequences. It feeds a world where hatred is taught, violence is excused, and Jewish men, women and children are treated as legitimate targets.
So many innocent people boarded that FlyDubai flight today expecting to make it home. Instead, they came terrifyingly close to never seeing their loved ones again.
Think about the terror they endured. Think about how many families came so close to receiving the worst phone call of their lives.
Hateful words fuel hateful actions. Leaders and people of good conscience must find the courage to speak up and fight back against antisemitism.
Enough of this madness dressed up as morality. Innocent lives are at stake.

Remembering the lives lost and the heroes who ran toward danger on September 11, 2001.

The antizionist mayor of New York unintentionally acknowledging the Jewish people's indigenous connection to Jerusalem and the land of Israel was not on my 2026 bingo card.

Most experiments fail, and negative results rarely get published. This means LLMs are unaware of the outcomes of most experiments.

Journals: "We need you to work for us for free, but only under our conditions"
oh and please send the reviewed manuscript back in less than two weeks, we have a business to run

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

The way to accelerate science is to SLOW it down.
Fewer papers please! We’re drowning in meaningless text.
One GREAT paper per lab per decade is more than enough.

"The purpose of TSCA is to protect people and the environment from harmful chemicals. The proposed changes to this law are alarming: they remove public health guardrails, undermine EPA’s ability to protect people from harmful chemicals, and will lead to more death and disease."
And then he said: "How are we going to fix the reproducibility crisis in science if we only publish novel findings?"
At EPA’s D4 meeting today:
- Most reviewers industry-affiliated
- Most EPA scientists in sync with industry
- EU, UK, Canada: “D4 very persistent and very bioaccumulatative”
- EPA: “maybe persistent but not bioaccumulative”

So proud of our @UCSF_ObGynRS early-career investigators presenting their critical environmental health research @ the #NIEHS_EHSCC Annual Meeting hosted by @ukcares1. Read more prheucsf.blog/2025/10/28/ucs…
Reviewer 2 is about to lose his job to AI
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 It started from my frustration with the depressing effect that the current publishing system has on the well-being of myself, my team, and pretty much every scientist I know (maybe you’ve noticed from my stupid jokes… :) I was exhausted of dealing with the huge delays, reviewers that can be abusive, and how arbitrary it all is. Unfortunately, the most important factors are often WHO your reviewers are and who YOU are... It’s clear we need alternatives or at least ways to improve the situation. So, together with a really special and talented team we worked to develop this idea into “qed” a platform where you can get CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on your own work or CRITICALLY assess other people’s papers. It can be a real difference maker if many of you join us (thousands have tried it already, but today we release a NEW and much stronger version ;) Let’s harness qed to put the power back in the scientists’ hands, to do, to read & to publish science on our own terms. I’m dying for you to TRY IT, and it’s very simple - just drop a paper (the link to the website is in the replies👇) - it’s completely secure, private, and free, and you get results fast. Please show your support, SHARE, tell your friends, and let’s be the revolution 🫵!
Never forget.
What terrorism did.
Never forget.
Those who perished.
Those who ran towards danger to help.
