Following dramatically different outcomes of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) votes attwo California schools on last week, campus antisemitism and Israel advocacy experts spoke withThe Algemeinerto break down the anatomy of a BDS campus campaign. With the University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB) coming back with zero votes cast in favor of BDS, and California State University-Long Beach seeing 15 student representatives vote yes for the anti-Israel motion,Tammi Rossman-Benjamin founder of the campus watchdog AMCHA Initiative said there is a complicated calculus involved in each BDS push. To her, the unanimous and unequivocal opposition to BDS of all of a campuss Jewish student organizations is a crucial factor inheading off the efforts of anti-Zionists. May 15, 2017 2:07 pm Weve seen a definite increase in the tactic of Jew splitting, where BDS activists find organizations like Jewish Voice for Peaceto run interference for them when they are accused of antisemitism, Rossman-Benjamin explained. So I think that when faced with an issue like BDS, we have to have the moral clarity to state that there is a red line and when you cross over it, the Jews will be standing … Continue reading →

Deep below the high seas: UL-Lafayette biology professor joins expedition to map Pacific Ocean floor – The Advocate

Posted: Published on May 15th, 2017

A University of Louisiana at Lafayette biology professor is spending his summer as the public face of an expedition exploring uncharted areas of the Pacific Ocean floor, narrating a live video feed for researchers on land. Scott France embarked on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Okeanos Explorer ship last month as the biology science lead in the three-week expedition that began off the coast of American Samoa and will end at the Hawaiian coast. In addition to narrating the videos, France also directs the daily dives aboard Okeanos. He is responsible for directing the remote submarine pilots and communicating with scientists on shore to make sure everyone can see what they need. Another way you can think of me is as a liaison between the operations and the science on shore and making sure that science is represented," France said. Kasey Cantwell, the NOAA expedition coordinator, described Frances position as a selfless one because the research is not solely focused on his area of expertise, which is deep-sea coral. Instead, the research is a wide-ranging exploration of the ocean floor. Cantwell said Frances engaged personality and quick wit truly encompass the goals of their mission. He has a brain … Continue reading →
