"Advocating for conservation science means dismantling a system that threatens other beings’ right to self-sovereignty. It’s this fight that is at the core of many socio-political revolutions—and is at the heart of many environmental causes as well." https://t.co/GoU3KOcS4S

Thank you @dluis_hernandez for organizing such a powerful session @sacnas #NDiSTEM2022! It was a joy & privilege to share space with @Faust__Roger @ErikaSZavaleta. #ConservationScience wins when we prioritize honoring and elevating diversity 💯 #socialscience #STEM

[Harvard Organismic & Evolutionary Biology @HarvardOEB]

We’ve attended some amazing talks @sacnas #NDiSTEM2022, like today’s session on considering human-nature relationships to support just resource management & #conservation with @dluis_hernandez, @Faust__Roger, @ASafiqScientist, & @ErikaSZavaleta 👣🐾

Salmon are a way of life in Washington state, and we've got to do everything we can to restore our struggling wild salmon populations. I'm welcoming @SecretaryPete to WA state today to discuss what we're doing to make sure this is a federal priority.

@_ashawndabney Yes! My grandmother ❤️❤️❤️ Fully vaccinated and boosted also continues to mask in public. I'm so proud of her and so thankful for our scientists & folks who mask & vaccinate!

@LilianaSotoAZ As a fellow academic, I am so sorry that you and your community are going through this. 💔 We need gun reform and we needed it yesterday. 🤬

@Hozier The fury that was about to be unleashed at Spotify for not notifying me about your new album smh

[Alexandrea Safiq, Ph.D. @ASafiqScientist]

@AcademicChatter It can be nestled within someone's calling. Research is nuanced as much as western science refuses to acknowledge it.

[Alexandrea Safiq, Ph.D. @ASafiqScientist]

@uahikea I think there's room for both, don't you? 😉

When we recognize ourselves in the other, a sacred truth is acknowledged: we are all family in socio-ecological systems (nature). When we codify that truth using language that affirms, protects, and elevates self-soverignty, a new future becomes possible.

@beepunstings I'm so here for it! 👍🏾✨

[Alexandrea Safiq, Ph.D. @ASafiqScientist]

Thanks @DeWeerdt_Sarah for writing about how ethics and values are implicit in conservation actions. I want to re-affirm my perspective quoted in this article: it is time to legally acknowledge the intrinsic values of orca. #SalishSeaCurrents #SSEC2022

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

@beepunstings You are my everything toooo! 🥹😍❤️

[Alexandrea Safiq, Ph.D. @ASafiqScientist]

🌟C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S! 🌟 To my dear, wonderful, incredible, brilliant, talented, kind, resilient, role-model scientist, person, and soul-sister @beepunstings on her new appointment!!! 🐝📕🧪👩‍🔬 #WomenInSTEM #ecology

[Bethanne Bruninga-Socolar @beepunstings]

What now???

[Alexandrea Safiq, Ph.D. @ASafiqScientist]

@USFWS I don't remember when transient orcas migrate nor do I have the salmon run dates committed to memory #MyNewPrisonIsShame

[Alexandrea Safiq, Ph.D. @ASafiqScientist]

@gracemcrae Awe, thank you! And yes, you're absolutely right: when we protect & honor the self-soverignty of others, we create more space for our self-actualization which supports the grander community (ecosystem!) ❤️🙌🏾

[Alexandrea Safiq, Ph.D. @ASafiqScientist]

Ran out of time during my talk 🥴 BUT would like to share this thought: If anthropomorphism & mutualism explains more of the variance in my data (compared to nature-spiritualism) how can we leverage that? My answer: give legal non-human personhood to nature & wildlife #NACCB2022
