IB's own @danimanitoba1 published their Inuit-led research in Arctic science. Read about the importance of Indigenous collaboration in shaping research that reflects community priorities & knowledge systems.

the next 4 years are going to be an opportunity for a kind of muscular philanthropy that demonstrates what philanthropic $ can do when governments default on their duty to produce public goods. i hope other foundations rise to the challenge & don't treat it as business as usual.

I recently had to pull out of storage a plan I made during my PhD for days when I felt depleted. As an ADHDer, I often don't realize when I work until my tank is empty.

It feels appropriate to share today. Tailor-made for my brain, but hopefully it can help someone.

Entomologists: a student has a diving beetle that was frozen, unfrozen, and forgotten, and is now growing white mold. Any suggestions on how to clean it so it will look nice and stop growing mold? It's for a student collection submission. @flygirlNHM @americanbeetles @InsectAaron

@SimoneHaerri @loveofstreams Both would be appropriate

#GradStudents are arguably *the* primary producers of #research output at Canadian universities, and core contributors to the #teaching and #leadership missions of their institutions.

**But how (and how well) are they compensated?**

Let's take a look! A long thread 🧵👇

@HABrazeau I once saw someone turn a phylogenetic tree into sound at a conference which was pretty cool. I think the different branches expanded into different sounds. It would be really cool if you did that. I still want to turn my chapters into art somehow

[Anna Solecki @am_solecki]

@SpiritofCavalia It's done for marine animals a lot more I think e.g whales, manta rays and one of the students that worked on the program for me worked on whales.

[Anna Solecki @am_solecki]

@SpiritofCavalia A long time ago I looked into software that was uses to recognize tigers based on stripes. We were looking at recognizing martens based on the white spots they have on their bib. The grad students wrote me a program to do the analysis.

Folks, many (but not all) things in academia, business, and life, in general, are negotiable. This includes everything from deadlines for reviews to the price of a new dishwasher. You just have to ASK.

[Anna Solecki @am_solecki]

Yes but I would also argue that it's been a giant festival of discovery, revelation and exploration of the intricacies of #ADHD for all: diagnosed, not yet/recently diagnosed and living/interacting with the aforementioned. All inclusive fun times all around!

[Anna Solecki @am_solecki]

This should be in my signature.

[Anna Solecki @am_solecki]

@Cataranea @opengrants They are from a while back, but I would be happy to share

Finishing my PhD purely out of spite

Students with accessibility concerns and those recently infected with #Covid_19 on campus should communicate directly with the Provost.

Just search ‘Provost’ on the university website and share your concerns by email.

Your education and your brain are worth it. #HigherEd

[Anna Solecki @am_solecki]

@arctichominid Obviously not comparable but I'm not sure what else to say. I will never understand this kind of behaviour

[Anna Solecki @am_solecki]

@arctichominid I'm so sorry you experienced that.

I once spent a field season with someone who would not speak to me because I dared to be a woman and was snippy one time.

It sucks.
