@tsoolo Thank you so much Andy!

[Robbie Venis, PhD @RobbieVenis]

Well, it may have taken ~ 6 yrs, 300+ hrs of travel to and from the field, 3 surgeries, and billions of dead E.coli cells, but I did it! #CallMrDrBob #PhDDefended

[Robbie Venis, PhD @RobbieVenis]

Also just want to extend a huge thank you to my supervisor, @BasuOnita, my defence committee, my @CarletonU_CEE peers, my family and friends, and everyone else who has supported me along the way here in Canada and #Tanzania. This was all made possible by you

[Dr. Onita Basu @BasuOnita]

Congratulations Dr @RobbieVenis for successfully defending your PHD on Participatory #WASH 💦 and Ceramic Filter technology. I have gained a friend thru your years at Carleton and I am excited for your future life adventures. 🎉🍾🎉🍾

@ProjecTEMBO @RobbieVenis in Longido with #QES alumni Elizabeth Makauki having #water conversations with Halima and Tepian our water project coordinators. We learned that people would like more #WaterEducation - will work to make this happen!

The highest level of torture and intimidation in grabbing the community land in loliondo. The community of loliondo protested against placing of beacons 1500Km which is the community land. @Oleshangay @AnethStanley @SusannaN2 @SuluhuSamia @ThabitSenior

Tanzania govt is using paramilitary security forces to evict thousands of Maasai indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands in Ngorongoro District. Western govts & their conservation agencies have moral responsibility to end the unfolding tragedy by cutting all aid to the govt

[Robbie Venis, PhD @RobbieVenis]

How is it possible that not a single person who participated in the production of this film realized it is overwhelmingly racist? Was a single Tanzanian scholar consulted? Was a single Maasai person consulted? Shame. What colonial exhibitionism

[Maria Sarungi Tsehai @MariaSTsehai]

What head of state allows an old white man call the people of his/her country PRIMITIVE and then goes proudly to launch this film in the US?
Shame on you @SuluhuSamia and shame on you @PeterSGreenberg
How DARE YOU? Primitive tribes? 🤬🤬🤬🤬
@PBS you better pull this ASAP!

[Water Education Research (WatER) @WatERCarleton]

Thank you so much to everyone who supported our work in #Longido and made this all possible! Be sure to read how your contributions to @WatERCarleton impacted the lives of our study participants in #Tanzania

[Robbie Venis, PhD @RobbieVenis]

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen, including, but not limited to, @winetowater @CarletonU_CEE @NSERC_CRSNG @Carleton_QES, and most importantly, the staff at @ProjecTEMBO in Tanzania and the entire Longido community

[Robbie Venis, PhD @RobbieVenis]

So excited to announce my new publication w/ @BasuOnita & collaborators @SprottSchool & @ProjecTEMBO on the field work we've done in #Tanzania as part of the @WatERCarleton project addressing safe #water access among #Maasai women! Check it out @socscimed

@cathmckenna You spearheaded the purchase of a pipeline specifically because so many people protested its construction and the company didn’t want to deal with it anymore. Talk about the link between undermining democracy and climate change, my god

Here's a graph you should be sick of seeing by now. It's been shared non-stop by media to show why we are where we are. ... .... It has been shared, right? This is something you've seen, right? This critical piece of the story is being referenced all the time ... right?
