In this week's President's Perspective, Dr. Fadlo R. Khuri reflects on AUB's momentum, the resilience of its community, and the importance of finding strength in one another amid life’s challenges.
Drawing inspiration from the Eagles' Desperado, he reminds us that even through difficult journeys, we are never alone, and that there is always reason for hope, gratitude, and connection.
"As the song reminds us, 'It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you.'"

BREAKING: "I am deeply ashamed of him” RFK Jr.'s sister Kerry Kennedy tears into him for his disgustingly racist remarks about Arabs.
And she was just getting started...
"There's 500 million Arabs in the world, and yet they don't produce science, they don't win the Nobel Prize, they don't win the Fields prize, they don't win the Wolf Prize, they don't produce literature," RFK falsely claimed at a rally for Mike Rogers in Michigan.
It represented a new low for a man who sold his soul for power inside Trump's administration and it was a blatant attempt to smear Abdul El-Sayed, who is Arab-American. Since they can't contest him on the merits of his policies, right-wingers have been relying entirely on Islamophobic and racist attacks. For the record, Arabs regularly win awards in everything from literature to chemistry.
In response to the hateful remarks, Kerry Kennedy posted a quote from her brother on Larry King Now back in 2016 when he said, "The easiest thing for a political leader to do is to appeal to our bigotry and our hatred and xenophobia and prejudice, and point to people who are unlike us and say they're the ones who are damaging our country."
Beneath the post was where she really tore into him—
"There was a time when I completely agreed with my brother," wrote Kennedy. "Today, I am deeply ashamed of him. Arab and Muslim people alike have made extraordinary contributions to the world across literature, science, mathematics, medicine and countless other fields."
"To name a few, Omar M. Yaghi won the Wolf Prize in Chemistry in 2018 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2025. Ahmed Zewail won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1999, and Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988," she added.
"A person's race, religion, ethnicity or socioeconomic background does not determine their intellect, creativity or capacity to contribute to humanity. My thoughts are with all those hurt by my brother's false, cruel and derogatory words," Kennedy concluded.
There is one final layer to this scandal. In addition to being jaw-droppingly racist, RFK's remarks are just plain bad strategy. Michigan has a heavy Arab population and he's out there telling these people that they're stupid and useless. Next week, they'll have a chance to pay his entire party back in spades by sending Abdul El-Sayed to the Senate!
Please ❤️ and share if you think that RFK Jr. is a disgrace to his family name!

The novel The Physician by Noah Gordon alerted me to Arab science and medical advancement in 11th century.

My comments on the triumph of Arab science and their contribution to preserving Aristotle, Ptolemy, Euclid, Pythagoras, Archimedes, during the dark ages, until it transitioned 500 years later to Copernicus, Galileo, Tycho Brah, Kepler, Vesalius, da Vinci, Gilbert. Without the great centers of Arab science in Baghdad, Cordoba, Cairo, all would have been lost. There would be no SpaceX, Anthropic, Meta, or at least not for another 500 years. You can take that to the bank

"Women's health cannot be understood in isolation. From childhood and adolescence through pregnancy, menopause, and aging, every stage of life is connected and calls for continuous, evidence-based care that recognizes the whole person."

The story began with AUB's first Medical Conference in 1911. In 1954, it became the Middle East Medical Assembly - bringing leading physicians and contemporary medical education to Beirut and the region.
In 2026, the 52nd MEMA turns that longstanding tradition toward the future of women's health.

Some assumptions survive longer than the evidence behind them.
At the 52nd MEMA, a rapid-fire plenary examines ten areas where medicine still needs to question, update, and improve how it understands women's health.
