The first #ClimateEmergencyDay this Friday is an urgent reminder that we have less than 7 years to act to preserve a livable planet — every year, hour, minute and second counts.

Today is the one-year anniversary of perhaps the worst public health guidance given during this pandemic so far.

Since the CDC prematurely proclaimed it was okay to unmask, there have been 420,000 deaths in the US.

"Once you've done the hard work of nurturing trust in the collaboration then other things can happen. I want to talk about a different kind of listening - recursive listening - not focused on persuasion. Listening to be transformed. Researcher, too." - Martin Lively #AAASmtg

[Liz Crocker @liminalphase]

"We have to make sure we aren't doing additional harm when we conduct our research. Ignoring these environmental harms just because it doesn't fit into our research scope is harmful." -Claire Hayhow #AAASmtg

I love this model! ⬇️

"Joy is the outcome. This is a powerful thing. And an unexpected outcome, perhaps, that we celebrate our successes & experience joy. That's not something I've ever said before about science." - Dan Brabander

"Understanding people may have traumas or experiences we don't relate to that may affect your relationship with them. Many BIPOC have been studied and studied and studied... Don't treat them as subjects. Treat them w/ humility & respect." Nicole Hewitt-Cabral #AAASmtg #CommSciSem

#Science has a moral and professional obligation to be #AntiRacist

[Liz Crocker @liminalphase]

Fantastic video about race, racism & science from @AAAS_DoSER featuring @Anthrofuentes @sankofadna & @gravesjl55.

As the video points out, science played a huge role in erroneous ideas about race & has a responsibility to address that today #AntiRacism
