Spent my early morning being a guest panelist for @brews_eeb sharing stories and challenges of being an international scholar, among other great international scientists. Thanks for the invite! PS: it always makes me sad to hear about the challenges #international scholars face🥺

This is horrible and should not be happening, scientists should not be punished for speaking up for what they deserve nor should they be punished for speaking out against discrimination.

'Sanctions on Priyanga Amarasekare have baffled supporters, who think they are retaliation for speaking out against discrimination.'

WTF. This is not okay @UTM_Research @UTMBiology. So disappointed to see you celebrating a professor with a documented history of abuse. Support your students instead. Ping @brews_eeb

Shana tovah!

Proud to share 'Ten simple rules for succeeding as an underrepresented STEM undergraduate' - maybe this could help someone in your life?

This piece will be used as a tool in @DalhousieU's "Scholars and Leaders" program!

This is a horrific and unacceptable story but one that is far too common. As a scientific community we need to do more to ensure abusers are taken out of positions of power

I use twitter to talk science, fossils, and scream about bones.

So why am I terrified to share this? This too is an unfortunate part of science...

Two years ago @Koskinonodon and I reported our advisor, Robert Reisz, for bullying and harassment.

[David McRaney @davidmcraney]

Just wrapping up another incredible Conversation Lab with @mishaglouberman and an audience of fascinating humans eager to learn how to better communicate and resolve conflicts. Great takeaway to avoid dead-end debates: always share your goals, and ask theirs. #conversationlab
