If you want to understand how the Supreme Court rules on politics rather than the law look no further than the arena of Federal Indian Law.

Today #SCOTUS changed who has criminal jurisdiction on over 300 reservations not based on precedent or even the facts on the ground…

@PatriciaGWolf1 @PurdueNutrition Woohoo!! Congratulations, Patty. @PurdueNutrition is fortunate to have you join their faculty. Excited to see the work that will come out of your lab.

Thank you to @WSUNews for highlighting our recent work on #foodinsecurity and #diabetes in @jnutritionorg . Grateful to work with others in @MurrowCollege, @WSUNursing & @WSUPullman

[WSU News @WSUNews]

New #WSU research shows food insecurity during young adulthood can lead to an increased incidence of diabetes later in life. https://t.co/GKblfvvpAy

Random thoughts 🧵 about the evergreen topic of academia vs industry. In my opinion, Zoom - and the rise of remote work more generally - has made non-academic careers more desirable, and academic careers less desirable.

Academics as Encanto characters:

Newly hired Assistant Professor, always excited, curious, but always nervous with lots of self-doubt. Protective of grad students and always try to be helpful (but not sure how).

[Urban Indian Health Institute @TheUIHI]

Appreciate but don’t appropriate our #NativeFoodWays. Some foods are great for sharing (blueberries, anyone?) whereas others may hold sacred meaning or may be threatened and shouldn’t be harvested or sold for profit by non-Natives.🙅🏻‍♀️

Is it *actually* impostor syndrome, or am I just struggling to live up to metrics of success in academia that were set by white men with stay at home wives in the mid-1900s.

[Cassandra J. Nguyen, PhD @cjnikolaus]

So grateful to continue collaborating with @IllinoisNEP on work like this. Our paper shows how staff help @ILextension make real change in communities across Illinois!

Thank you to @v_hazzard_, @DNeumark & colleagues for this work! These findings are so encouraging, in light of the ACEs that I (and many others in my life) faced. I can't quite put into words the hope this kind of data provides.

[SSEmergingAdulthood @SSEmergingAdult]

New findings "suggest self-compassion may act as a buffer against adverse mood-, weight-, and eating-related outcomes in EA in the face of adversity and therefore may be an important intervention target." https://t.co/4eIeWGTI7Y

This thread has great suggestions for folks who'll be teaching this fall. Thank you @AsherBlackdeer

See - I told y’all colonization is everywhere!!

It’s is so deeply embedded in society that it’s found in the language we choose.

My #EpiTwitter roots lead me to say the alternative depends context and the intended impact/outcome.

What exciting work! Congrats @PatriciaGWolf1

In day two of the @MixedMethodsRTP and can't speak highly enough of the program. Even in a virtual setting, gaining practical skills I can bring to future mixed methods projects.
