This has been a difficult year for me health-wise, so I have been quiet here. Being honored by this Dean’s Excellence Award for my research is especially meaningful and encouraging now.

A morning thought:
Moises is Palestinian.
I am Israeli.
In our Amberson lectures ( #ATS2022 , #ATS2024 ), we mentioned each other - as inspiration, friends, and allies.
There's nothing special about it.
That's the way it sould've been in Israel/Palestine.
It still can be 👇🏼
