As scientists, we are trained to look at systems as a whole, in all their complexity. Maybe this is why many of us struggle with simple statements on #Israel 🇮🇱 and 🇵🇸.

But sometimes things can be simplified quite easily:

#Hamas crossed a universal bound of humanity!

My thoughts are with my Israeli friends & colleagues and their families. I am horrified. 😔

Heartfelt sympathy also goes out to all the innocent Palestinian families turned into cheap sacrifices for ruthless goals of terrorists.

Finally, it’s out! I must say, I am really, really fond of this paper– if you are into #innateimmunity, the #antiviralresponse and #interferon, I think you may enjoy reading it:

Nothing spectacularly new, but very comprehensive characterization of the #RIGI and #IFN pathway!
