loves playing with fiber, math, and talking about climate change. Tweets are my own.

Happy to be back on twitter again. Will be tweeting on @UWPCC while interim Director of the Program on Climate Change until September 2023

We’re hiring @UWOcean in the area of Active Margins. The successful applicant will expand our School’s research and teaching in marine geology and geophysics. Research and teaching could fall in a wide range of areas, check out the ad at https://t.co/2Y4dgx7FaA to learn more!

@MotherAtSea @SonyaLegg @fimbrethil1 However, covid impact statements for promortion and tenure are now becoming pretty common. But this leaves post-docs looking for jobs out in the cold.

@MotherAtSea @SonyaLegg @fimbrethil1 My department hiring committee doesn't want to use it either

[LuAnne Thompson @ProfessorLuAnne]

@SonyaLegg @MotherAtSea @fimbrethil1 I think that the next step is to create a sample rubric to use alongside the covid impact statement. This would make it easier to demonstrate the value.

@mathillustrated @profkeithdevlin Any updates on this?

@roguewave A person after my own heart! But don't give up!

Back on twitter after a break owing to pandemic stress

[Earle Wilson @eadoubleu]

A lot of people seem to take for granted that, by diversifying STEM, new people will come in and do the same science that's currently being done. This mindset has led many scientists to dismiss these efforts because, in their view, it shouldn't matter *who* is doing the science.

[Earle Wilson @eadoubleu]

So promoting diversity in science is a lot more than just getting fresh faces. It's also about getting fresh perspectives that will ultimately bring us closer to serving the needs of everyone rather than a select few.

[Earle Wilson @eadoubleu]

This will inevitably lead to shifts in priorities as it relates to funding and the activities we do as professionals.

[Earle Wilson @eadoubleu]

But, the reality is that science is dictated by our collective interests, which on an individual level are shaped by our own experiences and (yes) culture. It follows then that diversifying science will also diversify the type of science we do and broaden the scope of our fields.

"We cannot, we must not, muffle the screams of those... who can only scream. They have no power, they have no money, they have no influence... their politicians have betrayed them, the police kill them. They must scream. So let us scream with them." Rev. Jeffrey @ #seattleprotest

[LuAnne Thompson @ProfessorLuAnne]

@AIphaLyrae @AngieBoysen @gshowalt @UWOcean Yes, agreed. This is a long term problem that will require consistent effort and there are many who are committed to do this work. I see this fall seminar as a opportunity for us and for the early career scientists to showcase their work.
