A color outdoor portrait of American bacterial geneticist Evelyn Witkin in her later years, standing in a sun-dappled garden or courtyard setting with green foliage and a brick building in the soft-focus background. She is an elderly woman with fair skin, short wavy white hair, gentle smile lines, and warm, thoughtful eyes gazing directly at the camera with a kind, serene expression. She wears a white button-up blouse with subtle textured patterns, small earrings, and a distinctive beaded necklace featuring dark and light beads. A small silver dragonfly brooch is pinned to the left side of her blouse, symbolizing her pioneering work on DNA damage repair (often likened to cellular "rescue" mechanisms). The natural daylight softly illuminates her face, highlighting her dignified and approachable presence as a trailblazing scientist and a Lasker Award and National Medal of Science recipient. The overall mood is one of quiet wisdom, resilience, and quiet celebration of a long, impactful career in #WomenInScience. #WomensHistoryMonth

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
Tweet from Ramin Khanizadeh reads: Strikes on Tehran tonight can be said are more intense than what has happened over the past few days, and still ongoing.
While Trump telling CBS the war is "very complete" is dominating the headlines right now, Iranian Twitter is still reporting continued intense bombings. Here's an AFP journalist in Tehran.
"On #InternationalWomensDay, we remember the strength of Palestinian women enduring oppression, displacement, and loss of loved ones after more than two years of relentless Israeli genocide"(PalTimes News) #Gaza #Palestine
Talking about how the GOP's Islamophobia is tied to the Cosplay Crusader happening in Iran right now.
It's all tied together.

In Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Congo — mothers are mourning their babies.
Resharing this piece I wrote over two years ago because we’re still watching a genocide happen, watching even more parents mourn.
Women’s day includes these women too.

Reuters confirmed that the elementary school in the Iranian city of Minab was bombed TWICE by the US military, 40 minutes apart.
This was intentional.
They did not "accidentally" drop two bombs 40 mins apart,
Killing 168 children and 14 teachers.
Did they bomb the elementary school twice, 40 minutes apart, to make sure to kill any surviving kids and to kill the rescue workers who were trying to save kids’ lives?
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
NIH employees were already worried that things weren't getting done under Jay Bhattacharya. Now that he's also the acting director of the CDC, they're worried even more about his fractured attention. My latest:

Belgium MP 🇧🇪: "Not a single soldier or weapon should go for Trump’s war in Iran. We must say No to Trump like Spain did” 🔥
First spain, then UK and now Belgium 🫡❤️
I don’t understand why people think “many Iranians hate the regime” is a defense of bombing Iran particularly coming from people who hate Trump and live in DC?
What a shameful exercise in performative religiosity and piety 😳

Ilhan Omar: “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability—
Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions & push the region further into chaos — every time we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction”
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
❝ This strategy rests on an assumption that a weaker Iran would produce a more stable region. In reality, destabilising one of the Middle East’s largest and most strategically important states could unleash forces far more dangerous than the status quo. ❞ — Alexander Clackson
