Last night, US/Israeli strikes bombed Sharif University, my alma mater, heavily damaging the IT Center, Philosophy of Science building, EE, and more. Trump spoke of sending Iran "back to the Stone Age." That is the goal of this war. Scientists worldwide should speak up against these atrocities.
When universities and research institutions become military targets, academics cannot remain silent. I co-initiated an open letter calling for global academic solidarity and support for affected students and scholars. Please share.

Very proud of our research assistants, Callum Marshall and Qimin Wu, who have both been awarded highly competitive scholarships from Trinity College and the Cambridge Trust for their PhD studies. Definitely worth a celebration!

Together with @roozbehkiani.bsky.social and @athenaakrami.bsky.social, we published a Nature correspondence highlighting our open letter’s core message: the academic community must speak out against attacks on academic institutions.
