This is one brave professor. Particularly in light of how successful he has been and how relatively early he is in his career. This isn’t some flunkie who has nothing to lose or an aged-out Prof who was about to retire anyhow. Take a look at his CV: https://en-med.tau.ac.il/profile/ehudq#anchor_cv:
Summa cum laude undergrad
Postdoc at Harvard Medical School
Department Chair
Full Professor
Publications in Nature x2, Nature Microbiology, Science, PNAS x4 (for non-technical readers, these are ‘top-tier’ journals that probably 99% of all researchers just dream of publishing in just ONCE in their careers.)
So when can we expect the MSM hit piece to come out?
