People talking about terrible teachers and gender bias in STEM fields & I can remember when the anatomy teacher tried to keep a girl from going on a field trip to Chico State to view a cadaver. Her mom raised absolute hell & now that girl has a Ph.d in molecular biology and leads R&D.

Meanwhile, an investigation by Al Jazeera Arabic has found that thermal and thermobaric munitions supplied to Israel by the U.S. have evaporated nearly 3,000 Palestinians in attacks since October 2023, leaving behind no remains other than blood spray or small fragments of flesh.

Israel restricting Rafah crossing movement.
Since Feb. 2 only 180 of the estimated 20,000 Palestinians needed medical treatment have been allowed to cross the border into Egypt.
7 year old, Anwar Al-Ashi, died yesterday of kidney failure after waiting for permission to leave Gaza that never came.
