Turning things around?

Two excellent bits of news from today’s email.

Yale university’s Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies department is co-sponsoring a seminar on the failure of the human rights movement to address the sexual violence against the Jewish women on October 7. Right along the lines of what BCAA did last week, thanks to our two wonderful panellists. Except… the WGSS site, or their Facebook page, have no mention of their own event, apparently the electronic poster was distributed through targeted email list only.

The Brock News this morning (April 11) advertised a visit to Brock by the Ontario’s Minister of Agriculture, and used this cover photograph:

Malkie Spodek (left), Entomology Scientist with Brock’s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute and Adjunct Professor in Biological Sciences, explains her research to Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Minister Lisa Thompson (right), who looks through a microscope at grape mealybug eggs. The grape mealybug is an insect vector of grapevine viruses.

This Brock News’ article, proudly announced in an email sent out yesterday morning temporarily disappeared from the Brock website, which had us worried, but it has now been restored. The cover image has changed, but the above photo depicting a BCAA member wearing her yellow ribbon to raise awareness of the hostages still held in Gaza, is included in the expanded version of the article.

Perhaps, BCAA advocacy is making a small bit of difference?

We wish our friends at the other co-sponsoring organizations at Yale University: the Yale Friends of Israel and the Yale’s Law Students for Israel (an unofficial unapproved student group, so no link) the best in their efforts to turn around their University.

[Edit: an earlier version of this post was called Missing Links, but happily, the Brock News link has been restored, hence a change in the title and tone of the post.]
