Exactly two years ago, the University of Ottawa suspended me from my medical residency training in public health because of social media posts in support of Palestinian human rights. They framed my social media posts as “unprofessional”. The irony being that I studied the impacts of settler colonialism on health in Palestine during my public health training. They messed with the wrong person. They later reinstated me, without any apology, so I left their racist institution to put my time and energy to places and people who actually deserve it. It’s been a year since I filed a human rights complaint against the university, and they continue to try to dismiss the case with frivolous motions with factual inaccuracies, but the court seems to acknowledge the value in hearing the case. It is blatant discrimination on basis of anti-Palestinian racism. I’m taking them (and the faculty member who doxxed me) to a provincial human rights tribunal to seek accountability and justice. To anyone else who is facing similar forms of repression for solidarity with Palestine - remember you are on the right side of history. To stand against genocide is the most decent and moral position to take. To oppose genocide as a healthcare worker is the most professional position to take. Keep your head held high. The institutions will come around when there is no political or economic cost to oppose genocide. Until then, we will keep persisting and pushing back against bullies and racist institutions. Free Palestine, from the river to the sea.

At #MBL Visual Neuroscience course w/ Anna Jansson @anna_m_neuro, Angel Robles-Gomez & Leonor Afrima. Using 2P microscopy to image transfer of visual signals into & out of bipolar cells in retina of larval zebrafish. Great fun! Thanks to Directors @RichKramerLab & @SchwartzLabNU

OTD in 1979, Paul Davis joined The Arsenal as an apprentice. He played 447 times for The Gunners from 1980 to 1995. Paul won 2 league titles, 2 league cups, 1 FA Cup & 1 Cup Winners Cup. Great player. ⚽️👏👏

Quick quiz - who is this famous person?

Once again, for absolute clarity, there is ZERO evidence the Bibas children were "murdered with their bare hands". This is a blatant propaganda meme, constructed by Israel and dutifully peddled by prominent zionists, designed to prepare the way for resumption of Israel's genocide

This video doesn't do the pop-pop boat justice. Try it in your bathtub.

@yaksi_emre @yesiamohyes @JosMoyaDaz1 @CurrentBiology Thanks!

@neonsynapse @yesiamohyes @JosMoyaDaz1 @CurrentBiology So cool, and there is so much of substance B on the brain too :)… congrats to the entire team …

The #retina, like other brain circuits, is under modulatory control. @yesiamohyes and @JosMoyaDaz1 show that "Substance P and dopamine form a “push-pull” system that diurnally regulates retinal gain". tinyurl.com/258vvkfj. @CurrentBiology #zebrafish #neuroscience 👇1/

The actions of substance P reduce the flow of visual information, measured in bits, ∼3-fold. So while dopamine “pushes” the retina to transmit information at higher rates in the afternoon, substance P acts in antiphase to “pull down” information transmission in the morning. 😀

Modulation of retinal gain is accompanied by changes in patterns of vesicle release at the synapses of bipolar cells: increased gain shifts coding of stimulus strength from the rate of release events to their amplitude generated by a process of multivesicular release (MVR). 4/

@LewesArboretum 🙏😊

A fine morning for weeding and mulching the twelve #trees we planted in Gundreda Road, #Lewes, in 2021. We're enjoying seeing the autumn colours beginning to come out!

@IShainer @BiologyTechnion That's great. Enjoy!
