2/ The sudden closure of #QuaDream follows hard times for the Israeli #spyware company, with our report being described as the "nail in the coffin."

3/ Thing about spyware companies: key threat also the people & the IP.

Like arms dealers they may try to rebrand elsewhere.

But we at @citizenlab have the ability to spot their tech & will endeavor to track it wherever it pops up.

And make sure that accountability follows.

A French nuclear umbrella, tensions over New START, proliferation risks in the Middle East, deterrence in Asia, & emotions in nuclear brinkmanship: our #STAND team's regular thread on recent news and analyses to #underSTAND #nuclear #deterrence and #threats (no endorsement).(1/8)
Calls for a 🇫🇷French #nuclear umbrella for Europe have multiplied in recent months. While this is not a feasible idea, Paris could take steps to strengthen Europe’s deterrence, assess #STAND’s @lydiawachs & @liviuhorovitz in a new SWP Comment (GER).(2/8)bit.ly/3HhxQLC

@mariarostrublee @MonashUni @MonashPolsIR @nuclearsciweek I'm working from home today in the gorgeous city of Melbourne, so I started off with a walk with my amazing dog Champ, who is now enjoying a bit of a nap. Dog sitting outdoorsDog sleeping on couch
@mariarostrublee @MonashUni @MonashPolsIR @nuclearsciweek I'm an expert in #nuclear politics, rather than #nuclearscience -- and I'm delighted to share how the field needs fantastic women in nuclear policy and analysis

Ein sehr schöner Teil des Lehrens an der #uni ist die Möglichkeit damit zu experimentieren, wie man das kreative Potenzial der Studierenden erschließen kann. Dieses Semester habe ich ein neues Experiment gestartet - ich entwickle mit meinen Studierenden ein #Strategiespiel.
Es hat den Arbeitstitel "The Next Proliferator" und soll veranschaulichen, von welchen Faktoren es abhängt, ob ein Staat sich #Nuklearwaffen aneignen kann oder eben nicht.
nonproliferation-elearning.eu/learningunits/…
Zunächst haben die Studierenden in der Vorlesungsphase des Kurses eine Einführung in die technischen Aspekte der Nutzung von Nuklearenergie und die wissenschaftliche Debatte über die sogenannte demand-side (warum?) und supply-side (wie?) nuklearer #Proliferation erhalten.

A [THREAD] on the latest capture from smuggling to the #Houthis, from a Dhow off Mocha, #Yemen, by the Saudis.

There is a lot of interesting kit, but here's the boat[s].

1/ Image
Let's start with one "sniper plus spotter" kit- an Iranian AM-50 Sayyad 12.7x99mm AMR, with 2 Iranian Rayan Roshd RU120G thermals, & RU100LH thermal binos for observation. Note the ComBloc side rail mount for one optic, likely for the spotter.

Houthis have often used these.

This wasn't all- hundreds of Chinese Type 56-1 AKs, Iranian PKM-T80, more AM-50 and AK magazines. Oh, and lots of DSHkM/Type 54 and Type 85 heavy machine guns...

Je n'ai pas tweeté cette semaine. Ce n'est pas parce que je suis malade, heureusement , ni parce qu'il ne se passe plus rien à @francediplo_ASD , loin de là. Alors, la #diplomatie au temps du #confinement , ça donne quoi? FIL à lire pendant que vous #RestezChezVous ⬇️
D'abord, la priorité c'est de continuer à aider nos compatriotes de passage à l'étranger qui souhaitent rentrer en France. Le MEAE a permis à 150.000 de revenir. 👏🏼👏🏼 aux collègues de @CdCMAE , soutenus dans leur travail par des agents de toute la maison.
Ensuite, il faut adapter les #méthodes de travail. Dans la diplomatie multilatérale, c'est vrai qu'on voyage beaucoup. Pas par plaisir ou pour faire chic mais parce que se réunir c'est aussi donner corps à l'idée de communauté internationale 🇺🇳. Donc, quand on ne voyage plus...

In our new paper @eLife we show how TF Sox9 controls #neurogenesis and #gliogenesis during neocortex development. Work driven by Ayse Guven, former PhD student #Huttnerlab @mpicbg 1/3 elifesciences.org/articles/49808
Previous work showed that components of the extracellular matrix are important for proper brain development. Ayse found that the transcription factor Sox9 drives the expression of ECM components in neural progenitors. 2/3
Manipulating the expression of Sox9 in ferret and mouse we showed that Sox9 orchestrates several fundamental processes during brain development: progenitor #proliferation, #neurogenesis and #gliogenesis 3/3

1) THREAD: What to expect if the #US 🇺🇸withdraws from #NATO? At the Körber #PolicyGame, we discussed this scenario w/ high-level officials and experts in coop w/ @IISS_org - here are the summarized results for the Twitterati community: (have mercy, it’s my first thread!)
2) We wanted to know: How would Europeans react in such a situation?What are interests and red lines? Thus, we invited a 🇫🇷, 🇩🇪, 🇵🇱,🇬🇧, and 🇺🇸 team to play our scenario. Crisis in the #South, Crisis in the #East - were #Europeans able to get their act together w/out the 🇺🇸? 💪 🇪🇺
3) The short answer is: willing yes ❕but able❔ First, most teams focused on reversing a #US withdrawal from #NATO by all possible means, offering the 🇺🇸concessions that were unthinkable before - from #trade to #energy. But what if that doesn’t help? 🤔
