Denying medical assistance is unacceptable in any circumstances. Israel’s threat to withhold registration from MSF & other INGOs is a cynical and calculated attempt to prevent organizations from providing services in #Gaza and the #WestBank, #Palestine. ow.ly/XQwE50XR5OE

We might not have had the antibiotic revolution if-- • Fleming had not left his plates out while he went on vacation • he was less observant • he didn't work next door to a mycologist • the weather was warmer • he didn't have brilliant colleagues to translate his discovery into a useful application
