Some of the best computer scientists I have met and are friends with have studied at #SharifUniversity. Today, this university is under attack by a ruthless dictatorial regime that is targeting the brightest of people. Be their voice, social awareness matters #IranProtests

(1/3) Ruth Bader Ginsburg lived a towering life. She should be admired, remembered, and honored.
