They were quick to identify that Trump’s campaign didn’t really seem to be about fighting antisemitism @ all, but rather about using that fight as a justification for govt overreach. Roth, a historian & the pres. of #Wesleyan told The New Yorker, “Anti-antisemitism can be appropriated by any political movement. They can use that as a vehicle for persecuting researchers & institutions that are not aligned w/the ideology of the person in charge.”

The Forward · What Jewish university presidents say: Trump is exploiting campus antisemitism, not fighting itJewish presidents are actively defining what antisemitism actually is in the face of the Trump administration’s weaponization of the term

I love that #Harvard has taken a stand against the current administration and chosen not to fold their research efforts. Too much is at stake for the future of citizens of the US and globally. Their website profiles the work of Dr. David Walt. David and I shared a lab while at #MIT. He is a wonderful person and researcher. It is critical that his efforts, and those of scientists around the country, continue.

Harvard UniversityHarvard UniversityHarvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Here's a letter that I sent to Princeton University President Chris Eisgruber a few weeks ago urging the University to stand firm against the Trump administration's attempt to turn it into the Ivy version of the New College of Florida.

I'm pleased to see Harvard and MIT join the conflict.

Photonic computing needs more nonlinearity — #acoustics can help

Researchers from #MPL, @unihannover & #MIT demonstrate an all-optically controlled activation function using traveling sound waves. This optoacoustic approach enables nonlinear signal processing in the synthetic frequency dimension and could pave the way for more efficient, scalable optical neural networks — compact, fast, and energy-saving.
