@CharlesSchwab Completely unacceptable fit a company of this size to "shut down" everytime the market becomes volatile. Multiple times in the past couple of months. All of us are now driving business away from you.

@siobhanmattison HBD!!

A better way to tackle marginalization in the geosciences?

Your assumptions are not reality.

[Victoria Brownworth @VABVOX]

Wow.
Watch this extraordinary video on disability, "Don’t assume."
I ❤️ this woman so much.

@MortytheRN coming in Thursday for an out patient... so, you know, just in case it's not... it will be good to catch up! 😬

[Chris Atchison @ProfAtchison]

@MortytheRN @dpraterems @lbctimes6 Still waiting for the malachite pic!

[GeoSPACE Field Course @GeospaceUF]

The application window for the GeoSPACE Summer 2024 field course is now open! Get those apps in for an accessible opportunity to practice field geology, remote sensing, volcanology, and planetary science in Arizona or virtually. @UFGeology @AccessibleGEO https://t.co/xcrJp1XkF8

🚨 @uscensusbureau is changing the way disability data is collected which reduces national disability estimates from 14% to 8%! These changes will negatively impact disabled people and have moved forward without input from the disability community. 📢Action you can take below!

@squawky @NatStephen @AccessibleGEO Unacceptable. I'd like to know if all possible options to support this session were exhausted.

[Chris Atchison @ProfAtchison]

Really great to see @NatStephen and be a part of #GSA2023. I'm curious though, how many more would have had the opportunity to participate if the hybrid option were still available? Science must be accessible and inclusive. @AccessibleGEO

[Chris Atchison @ProfAtchison]

And this is so much broader than just disability access.

[Chris Atchison @ProfAtchison]

Is the decision really just about money? Targeted sponsorships and fundraising for access and inclusion...? @geosociety @theAGU @EuroGeosciences we would welcome a conversation.

[Ian Castro @IanCastro_Paleo]

#GSA2023 Please stop by the @AccessibleGEO booth when the exhibit halls are open! Also, please talk to me if you are interested in working with me on a research project to help support BIPOC geoscientists with disabilities.

[Chris Atchison @ProfAtchison]

@dr_know Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing this difficult decision with us. And thank you for offering to continue mentoring those still fighting. Too many have the scars of staying and getting beat up by the toxic academic system. I applaud you and wish you the absolute best.

[Chris Atchison @ProfAtchison]

@siobhanmattison @NSF Congrats! 😊

[Chris Atchison @ProfAtchison]

@SpeakerMcCarthy Okay great. How about you focus on keeping the government running??

[Michele Cooke @geomechCooke]

In her #Uncharted essay Jennifer L. Piatek nicely describes opportunities & costs of disability.
I love how @squawky points out that the glorification of independence in geoscience is at odds with the more inclusive interdependent culture of care within disabled communities.💯
