What Israel is doing, relentlessly, is a stain on humanity as a whole. Wherever we are, whatever we do, we must speak out against it and do anything in our power to distance ourselves from and hinder that unthinkable horror.

This is such a shame. I have several papers there and it served a niche. Ugh. Between STOTEN and ESPR, the contaminants space is decreasing in publishing options
STOTEN is now dead. It has been completely removed from Web of Science mjl.clarivate.com/search-results
Warning to environmental scientists! 🧪🦑🌎🐟
The journal STOTEN has been placed on hold by Clarivate, meaning it is under investigation and may lose its indexing (including impact factor). Consider publishing elsewhere.

In the past, I worked a lot on the seafood safety side of fisheries. When a fish is on deck, it is no longer just a fish; it has turned into food, and as such, there is a whole universe of rules, compliance, and operations that go along with it.

Oral exams - or call them “conversations” - are the only real way to assess a student’s knowledge/understanding of a subject nowadays. Arrangements for differently able/neurodiverse students can be made.

"Despite its extreme population density, Gaza was mostly self-sufficient in vegetables and poultry, and met much of the population’s demand for olives, fruit and milk. But last month the UN reported that just 1.5% of its agricultural land now remains both accessible and undamaged."
