My inspiring leaders, scientists, and couple! Grateful to have such an outstanding mentor, @profmikeking , as my PI and to be part of the exciting research at #KingLab #BMES2024

Happy Persian New Year Happy Nowruz 2585 Because we’ve carried this tradition through years and years, despite all the challenges even when families back home cannot receive our greetings.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered its 20th day, with international connectivity unavailable to the general public for over 456 hours. The incident is now the longest recorded shutdown in Iran's history, surpassing the blackout imposed during protests in January.

Iran has spent one-third of 2026 shutting down the internet and cutting off phone calls.

People ask me, “How is your family?” My only answer is: I DON’T KNOW Cutting off internet and phone lines during war is cruelty. The dictatorial regime in Iran is isolating millions of civilians when they most need information and connection. This is inhumane.

The criminal Ayatollah of the Islamic regime has been killed; The dictator of Middle East responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people and for destroying the lives of generations of Iranians. 🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷

JUST IN: Iran in total internet blackout with national connectivity at 4%.

Wishing everyone in Iran safety and hope that the war will end with freedom of the country. A regime that killed so many of its people should not rule.

My little brother… Hopefully this is the last war mullahs gone, and peace for Iranians. 🇮🇷

BREAKING: United States and Israel have attacked Iran.

Doulingo app is freezing streaks for Iranian users because internet shutdowns make it impossible to log in and do lessons. Thanks, @duolingo, for your support.

Grateful for the Cancer Bioengineering Collaborative (CBC), a program connecting @RiceUniversity and @MDAndersonNews. Today, we presented work from @profmikeking’s lab in collaboration with Prof. Xiling Shen at @MDAnderson Accelerating cancer bioengineering through team science.

This is Toronto. Today. February 1. Iranians outside Iran will not let the terrorist Islamic Republic get away with slaughtering tens of thousands of our innocent brothers and sisters. We won’t forget. We won’t rest. We won’t be silenced. There is only one solution: REVOLUTION.

As the people of Iran continue to fight for their basic rights, @SecRubio took action this week to revoke the privilege of Iranian senior officials and their family members to be in the United States. Those who profit from the Iranian regime's brutal oppression are not welcome to benefit from our immigration system.

When we talk about Rice University’s commitment to inclusivity… ❤️‍🩹 #IranRevolution2026

⏱️ Over 300 hours have passed since #Iran imposed a national internet blackout to hide atrocities. Meanwhile, the regime uses whitelisted networks and places op-eds to shape opinion abroad. Attempts to obscure the truth will be documented in real time: The world is watching.

⚠️ Update: With #Iran's internet blackout now past hour 280, the nation of over 90 million remains cut off for another day leaving friends and family unable to check in with loved ones. Meanwhile, traffic on select platforms points to an emergent strategy of whitelisting.

Remarkable scenes in Canada where more than 70,000 gathered to protest against the Islamic republic and demand regime change
