so well deserved @soilsandbees! canʻt wait to see the exciting work ahead 🙌 @Stanford is so so lucky to have you.

Some long-awaited news… In summer 2024, I will join @Stanford as an Assistant Professor in the Dept of Biology!!

I'm so excited to continue building collaborations, strengthening community partnerships, & mentoring students in agroecological research!

And finally, this whole thing has me thinking: how is it that actual Indigenous faculty, especially rez kids like me, find ourselves barely surviving in the academy when white folks who pretend to be us thrive? I’m even more aware now how these places were never built for us.

It’s sad when you meet established folks from your community that really don’t seem interested in uplifting the next generation…

Please share this with all Indigenous students in your networks. This is a great opportunity to receive hands-on data training while learning about the importance of grounding data in cultural and ethical frameworks. Also, the instructors are dope :D
