À suivre de près.
Il m’est insupportable de voir cette fille apeurée par deux brutes violentes et ignobles sur le sol même de ma ville, notre ville.
(C’est valable pour partout dans le monde mais ça me touche encore plus parce que c’est ici, dans des rues qui me sont familières)
Une enquête interne à la police a été ouverte après la diffusion d'images tournées par l'AFPTV, montrant une jeune femme violentée par des policiers à Marseille lors de la journée de manifestations jeudi, a annoncé vendredi à l'AFP la direction interdépartementale de la police nationale.

Of course #Israel should be banned from sport events, #Eurovision, cultural events, etc.
Yes, we should try to avoid mixing politics with sports and culture, but when those are strategically used to whitewash the horrendous crimes against humanity of #Netanyahu, there should be no debate about it.

This is diabolical. All publishers, societies, funders, universities, etc. need to say no to this censorship of science.
BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed.

Goes beyond MMWR +other CDC pubs. Applies to research already submitted to top medical journals.

Take a look.

Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.
Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty
Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.
