Well, they did it. eLife fired Michael Eisen. Absolutely outrageous. The bounds of allowed thought tighten. Any criticism of Israel is out of bounds. A new McCarthyism, except instead of communists under the bed, it's people who think it matters both when Israelis are slaughtered AND when Palestinians are slaughtered. And many, many in the academic community, seeing this, are afraid to speak, especially those without tenure, & even w/ tenure especially those from Middle Eastern countries other than Israel. How easily they can be slandered as anti-semitic should they speak.
Please sign our petition calling for this *not* to happen, and to defend academic freedom: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfdJyIQzIsTypmmZXIi-RfSjbe4Psp1RIvjXz-DxWJKA5hHIQ/viewform
Scientists in life/neuro sciences: defend academic freedom. Sign our petition to eLife/HHMI saying Michael Eisen should not be censured for expressing his political opinions. Can be anonymous.
A chill is setting into academia. Many, especially without tenure, are afraid to express their opinions on the situation in Israel/Gaza. The leading edge of this chill has been the attacks on Eisen. Whatever your personal opinion, defend academic freedom by signing this petition.

I wrote a new post on my blog (the first for over a year). The events in Gaza and Israel are almost too much to bear. It's impossible to support Hamas, who are theocratic dictators, much like ISIS/Islamic State. It's equally impossible to support Israel's hard-right government's response. [The brilliant cartoon is

AA have 13 mln more papers(98 vs 85mln), as it also mirrors libgen.
But, mostly, yeah, if there is no article on sci-hub, probably AA does not have it too.
🧵 Thread: "Building a Sustainable Public and Open IT Infrastructure for Science and Public Debate in Europe 🌍🔬"
1/ Science and public debate are vital for progress. Recent events, like the "Twitter Crisis," have highlighted the need for a sustainable IT infrastructure. Discover more in my blog post: https://www.gssr.edu.pl/gssr-blog/building-a-sustainable-public-and-open-it-infrastructure-for-science-and-public-debate-in-europe/
Like many of my friends, I am deeply saddened by the recent crimes of Hamas. But I will not "stand with Israel", just as I will not "stand with Hamas". Bost State of Israel and Hamas are organisations clearly responsible for crimes against humanity.
Of course, "solidarity with Israel" usually means solidarity with murdered people, not with state. Of course, I don't want to accuse anyone of bad intentions.
Nothing with 'whiteness'. Skin colour was ANYTHING but accidental. White Slavs, black Sub-Saharan Africans and white or brown Roma were equally 'sub-human'.
White Nordics, yellow Japanese and black Indian Aryans were the 'master race'.
@voidabyss @freemo It is quite obvious that if you pick an ideology that arose 'somewhere', you will find that it arose 'somewhere'.
It is quite obvious that if you pick an ideology that arose 'somewhere', you will find that it arose 'somewhere'.
However, there are similar ideologies, such as the racist Bantu ideology, which treats non-Bantu people (such as Pygmies) as subhuman, which led to slavery and several genocides.
Also, the German Nazi 'master race ideology' has nothing to do with whiteness.
Like several other 'master race ideologies' from Europe: Turanism or Sarmatism, the Nazi ideology was obsessed with Iranian heritage; on the opposite side of the scale were other 'whites' such as Jews, Slavs, Roma.

Twitter has the highest prevalence of disinformation among six online platforms studied by the EU. Fake news comes primarily from Russia’s disinformation operation, a "weapon of mass manipulation."
