#SICB was one of the first conferences I attended as a grad student (2015). Incredibly inclusive & great #science. Heard a talk on HGT between bacteria and brown recluse, sparking my interest in venom microbes. Thank you for your consistent advocacy.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Science is, and has always been, political. Maybe now all scientists agree.
