Here we show that widespread biases in coding strand sequence composition allow mRNAs to escape premature termination, while simultaneously suppressing antisense transcription -- sculpting bacterial genomes across lineages. nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

“We are watching Israel try to wipe Palestine off the face of the earth”
At MIT’s 2025 commencement on May 29, Class President Megha Vemuri condemned the university’s ties to Israel’s military and defense industry, calling it “a shame that MIT is a part of it.”
As the ceremony ended, graduates raised a Palestinian flag and chanted, “Free, Free Palestine!”
Student organizers have escalated pressure on MIT to sever ties with Israel’s arms industry. Earlier this year, they scored a major victory as MIT ended its partnership with Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer. Elbit drones and surveillance systems have been widely used in Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
MIT President Sally Kornbluth, who spoke immediately after Vemuri, did not address her remarks. Kornbluth had last year been called before Congress to testify about “antisemitism” on campus.

Congratulations to the @MIT 2025 graduating class and especially to the Class President who, along with MIT Coalition for Palestine students, keeps SHOWING us (as in “Show me, don’t tell me!”) what #MITMindHandHeart for a #BetterWorld REALLY means—WITHOUT any Palestine Exception

Today, volunteers visited the 2025 MIT Bangkok Symposium and called for MIT-ILP to cease relations with Elbit Systems and end complicity in genocide. Elbit Systems is a major supplier of weapons to Israel's military. We do not accept genocide supporters in Thailand!

MIT suspended (and will likely expel) MIT PhD student Prahlad Iyengar for the crime of politely talking to some Lockheed Martin recruiters about their company’s role in the genocide in Gaza.
Watch him explain what happened:

If you are not aware of the scandalous revelations coming out of @MIT, where the university has been revealed to be directly participating in the genocide perpetrated by the Israeli apartheid regime in Palestine, collaborating directly with Israeli occupation forces, developing killing technologies for the regime, suppressing academic freedom & free speech, and attacking its own students & faculty on behalf of the regime, you need to watch this, and follow the case of persecuted MIT personnel like @MichelDeGraff. The foreign capture & blatant lawlessness of US based universities is a dangerous threat that must be addressed urgently.
"It violates MIT’s own policies to be funding, groups or to be collaborating with an entity that actually, actively is perpetrating a genocide. ... And yet, MIT does not apply that standard to Israel," says MIT grad student who was suspended over activism trib.al/08IcLyD

We’ve entered into a new era of labor in this country. Workers know how much companies are making off their backs, and are banding together to reclaim what’s theirs. This striking Amazon worker says it exactly like it is.
