Some reports say over 500 schools, 55 libraries, & 25 universities hit. You can debate the numbers, but hitting Sharif University & Beheshti is like hitting MIT & Stanford. I keep wondering: How would the scientific community respond differently if it was those universities? What’s the difference?

Strategic omission: knowingly leaving out relevant prior work to make findings seem more novel is academic dishonesty. Adding citations later doesn’t undo the damage. Citations are credit and respect, not decoration. Call out this practice to protect integrity. #AcademicIntegrity

Chris Murphy is very good here. Disappearances for political speech violate our core principles. Of course they test the waters with pro-Palestinian speech on the hope that people won’t protest, and then they can move on to everyone else. Call your congresspeople to demand that Khalil be released.
