The Donald J. Trump Administration sending every Israeli student home from Harvard University is much more discriminatory against Jews than anything Harvard has ever done by any definition.

Donald Trump: Autism ā€˜has to be artificially induced’ Here’s the reality: Autism occurs through autism genes (>100 identified to date) in early fetal brain development (before birth), with evidence for some environmental exposures in early pregnancy thehill.com/homenews/admin…

Important article by my graduate student friend and colleague. Neither of us could have received our PhD under Trump’s latest edict.

Trump's assault on foreign students at Harvard is truly depraved. It harms thousands of the smartest people in the country for no reason, & it's based on the error of thinking they're behind campus "riots" (a cable news host said this to me last night). In fact disruptive

I have been critical of many elements of scientific publishing, but this from RFK Jr. is certifiably insane. RFK Jr. says he may bar scientists from publishing in top medical journals wapo.st/43sc0Bz

The Center for Inquiry is offering half a million dollars to any ā€œtelepathicā€ autistic kids from the Telepathy Tapes who can demonstrate their powers under controlled conditions. Any takers???? I didn’t think so.

Seven of the cited sources in the MAHA report don’t appear to exist at all. ā€œThe paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with,ā€ Keyes told NOTUS via email. New on NOTUS from Emily Kennard and Margaret Manto notus.org/health-science…

This should, in normal times, be a disqualifying scandal, removing any element of trust from what they're doing notus.org/health-science…

ā€œScientific publishing is supposed to be about verification. There’s supposed to be a set of eyes, actually several sets of eyes. And so what that tells us is that there was no good set of eyes on this.ā€ Our Ivan Oransky on MAHA report's fake citations. nytimes.com/2025/05/29/wel…

The fact that pro-Palestinians never cared and still don’t care about the millions of starving children in my country (Yemen) tells me everything I need to know about the pro-Palestinian movement. They don’t care about Palestinians. They simply hate Jews.

First: RFK Jr cancels funding that Harvard & MIT use to study the molecular basis of autism. Then: RFK Jr. issues a report on autism with made-up scientific notations.

Jewish immigrants, fleeing persecution in Europe, built and led the American left. Now, the left has betrayed the Jews in siding with those who would end us. I’ve spoken to many Jews who feel this betrayal throughout their entire being. The world looks very different to us now.
