He's remarkable in so many ways--everyone who enters his business is a friend, and his care for his employees is even more impressive. He's given jobs to the jobless and helped one of his cooks start their own restaurant, El Chapin 4/n
Born in Palestine and raised in a refugee camp, he came to the US as an immigrant and opened Med Deli in 1992, the year we moved here. We were among his first customers 3/n
Yesterday's fundraiser for those affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, to which he donated 100% of the day's proceeds, is just the latest way he has lived up to the name his mother gave him: Abu Iieta, which means “Father of Giving.” 2/n
t's a remarkable achievement to become a pillar of a local community and Chapel Hill/Carrboro's Jamil Kadoura fits the profile. The owner of the iconic Med Deli has spent the last 30 years building a business and supporting our community 1/n

Sheril KirshenbaumPhysicist John Tyndall is often credited w discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.
But female scientist Eunice Foote published a paper - 3yrs earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate.
Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work.
